Sweet Jonas Coleman {until we meet again}
If any of you follow my blog, you'll remember this family. Last night Jonas went home to his Heavenly Father. Sweet Jonas and his little sister Maggie have SMA Type I- it's a terminal genetic disease that results in loss of nerves in the spinal cord and weakness of the muscles connected with those nerves.
I can't tell you the gratitude I feel for having the privilege of photographing their family. To have taken part in seeing the love that exists between them, and capturing it. wow. I had to re-post these touching images of Jonas and his family that we took just a few weeks ago. My heart goes out to The Colemans.
You can visit their blog and send your condolences here. I can't tell you the gratitude I feel for having the privilege of photographing their family. To have taken part in seeing the love that exists between them, and capturing it. wow. I had to re-post these touching images of Jonas and his family that we took just a few weeks ago. My heart goes out to The Colemans.
If you know someone whose child has a terminal illness, please let them know I am always happy to photograph them free of charge. I also happen to know many other photographers who would also be willing. Feel free to pass on this blog and have them contact me!
I know this little man touched the lives of every person he met. What a blessing.

Wow, Jen! What a blessing it is to have been a part of the Coleman's last memories of their sweet little boy. Katie Moss just had a client who passed away as well a few weeks after taking their photos (you probably heard) which was also a blessing for her. Amazing photos, and cherished memories forever!
What a gift you have given them.
Sweetest thing Ever! Something this family will always treasure.
Prayers are with this dear family! What a sad loss of a beautiful little boy!
Thanks for sharing - what a tender story and amazing pictures. It brought tears to my eyes and I was touched. How neat that you got to be a part of their lives. You are awesome and always have been. You are not only a talented photographer, but are an awesome person, too.
I saw the pics from the photo shoot earlier but just saw this note about his passing. It brought tears to my eyes. What a journey his family has been on. What an amazing opportunity you had to photograph them together.
