The Story Behind This Emotional Birth Photoshoot Is Utterly Heartbreaking

HerFamily

Birth photoshoots are emotional as it is but this one had an added dimension because the woman involved tragically lost her husband just days previously.

Janette Desi, from Australia, found out four days prior to the birth of her baby boy that her husband Austin had died in a freak accident.

That is why the moments, captured by Naturally Creative Photography, are tinged with joy and sadness.

The photographer behind the snaps uploaded them to Facebook and wrote: “This is probably the most emotional photoshoot that I have done & will ever do.

“Due to a tragic accident this beautiful woman lost her husband just 4 days prior to the birth of there [sic] son.

“I was honoured to capture the birth of this beautiful baby boy. My thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.”

Janette opted to wear her husband’s wedding ring on a chain around her neck for the birth of their new arrival.

A fundraising page has been set up to help her and the two kids (she also has a 3-year-old daughter).
