Noah Hollis Beatty

Aug 12th – Sept 18th 2021

Here are a few of my favorite photos of Noah that you took for us. I can’t believe this coming August he would have been 5. Its so hard to believe and I think about him every single day. I am so appreciative of the photos you took of him and us together in his short month that we were privileged to spend with him. He only knew love and was held his whole life and your pictures show just that. I struggled so much with how to remember Noah and still do. The pictures you provided us were so tastefully done and have adorned the walls of our home in a beautiful and peaceful way. At the time of the photos I was in a bit of denial, confusion and a number of other emotions. When I was asked if I would like some pictures…. I, in true extra Mom fashion went home for a few hours that evening to gather matching outfits.I looked for anything I could to place my focus and normalize the situation. I had no idea what to expect or do. You were so incredibly professional and made us all feel so comfortable during the shoot. When I received the pictures back and they were all in black and white, which was unexpected (reference above matching outfits… haha) I was mildly disappointed even though the photos themselves were amazing. This feeling quickly faded once Noah passed, they then made perfect sense. They were used during Noahs Memorial Service and it was a major talking point and how beautiful you captured my family. I needed that, in a room of not knowing what to talk about. I guess all Im really trying to say is that you’ll never know how much you’ve helped my healing over these past 5 years because I have such a remarkable way to look back on that time. These pictures will be treasured by my husband and I our whole life and live on with Noahs siblings long after we meet again. Thank you again for providing such a beautiful service to those who are going through similar situations. 

 

You and your work are emensly appreciated.
