Read this online earlier and it is heartbreakingly beautiful. How people cope with that is beyond me but the pictures are so tasteful.

Not sure about this at all, the pictures are beatufully poignant, for me some things are so intensely private, i can understand the need to preseve the memory but sharing online, not for me.

:shrug: if they are having them done for free then fine.
Otherwise it seems a tad morbd to be making money on the back of people's grief.
Not at all fussy on the ones with rings on, just a bit too much posed for me.
My niece has lots of pics of her little boy, taken by family and friends in his very short life.

I agree with all of this Smudgie. Actually, it's a bit too upsetting for me to look at really.

Clicked the link, there's even more pictures in the article and they almost brought me to tears. Had to chew on my bottom lip for a few seconds. Soul destroying. :(

I guess for some they want their child to be shown to the world since they will never be able to show that child again.

WHAT'S beautiful about the pictures, is not the baby, which probably has no self awareness, what is beautiful about them is the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE that a parent feels.

These pictures make me feel bad for the parents, not the child.
