When contacted by Tracy, the mama in these photos, back almost 3 months ago, I did not have a clue how much I would be touched by the story of her little unborn angel Liam. This couple has so much courage, so much heart and so much love to give their little boy. At only 13 weeks they found out that something was “different” about their little guy. He was diagnosed with Limb Body Wall Complex, a fatal condition. They demonstrate such courage and faith to continue this pregnancy, praying for a miracle for their wee little sweetheart. They continue on, nurturing this baby showing even the unborn child what amazing parents they are. They have taken him to the zoo, Milwaukee Brewers games and to 4th of July fireworks so he too will get a chance to experience all of the amazing things in life. They continue to grow this child with prayers that his heart and lungs will become strong enough to be operated on after birth. They love, cherish and support each other through this journey of not knowing what’s next. They pray for the miracle that Liam will beat ALL odds. They pray that they get to spend an hour or two or even a lifetime with their little angel, that he will take that percent of a percent chance and survive this. Tracy & Luke, I thank you for sharing the journey of little Liam with me. I thank you for being such amazing and encouraging people.
Last night Tracy went into labor at 32 weeks. The doctors were able to stop the labor & think that Liam could possibly continue to grow and get stronger for a couple more days or weeks. I ask that anyone reading this, please pause and take a moment to pray for this precious family. Pray for strength throughout the coming day and years.
Here they are Tracy, Luke and Liam on their 2 year wedding anniversary. 
Please share this organization with everyone you know. Photos by NILMDTS photographers help many families with the grieving and healing process. Please, if you have any questions at all about NILMDTS, please click the “contact me” tab at the top of the page. I would love to discuss the organization with you. ♥

Oh My, what a heart wrenching story *tears*…Such beautiful photos you have taken to help them cherish their little angel!
Absolutely beautiful images & such an inspiring story. Sending prayers to Tracy, Luke, and Liam!!
How beautiful, and how wonderful. These photos are so touching. I can’t imagine what they are going through. Praying for them as well as you, Julie. <3
There is power in prayer! We will be praying for Tracy, Luke & Liam. I’d like to share some lyrics to a song that Gerald Crabb, a dear friend of ours wrote:
“He never promised, that the road would not get heavy, or the hill would not be hard to climb. He never promised victory without fighting, but he said help would always come in time. Just remember when you’re standing, in the valley of decision, and the adversary says give in….just Hold On, our Lord will show up, and He’ll take you through the fire again.”
With earnest prayers,

Prayers being said for a miracle for your family. May god grant you the strength to handle this!
In tears! Prayers for their little boy! Prayers for them as they face this difficult time. Miracles can and DO happen, praying he is one of Gods miracles.
It is scary facing the unknown especially when it is your unborn child. While I was p…regnant she was diagnosed with something called an omphalocele (you can google it but basically her organs were on the outside of her body including her liver, stomach, large and small intestines, and spleen) at 10 weeks gestation. We were told to “terminate and start over” that she wouldn’t survive and if she did she’d be a vegetable. She is now 6, will be staring cheerleading this year and is very smart! God is the great physician!
I am joining the prayer chain, as well as sharing their story on my FB page, business page and Christian page (Walking in the Light). With my last pregnancy, I had a scare… so I know the fear and pain that they are suffering. NILMDTS is an amazing organization, too! God Bless you all!
God is great and never give up. It’s great all the things you’re already sharing with your baby. Keep faith because we will keep prayers going, not just now but always. I have a great niece that was born with both ventricles on her left side. She’ll be having surgery soon but she has been growing and doing great. So many people have been praying. Doctors can do a lot but God gives them the wisdom to do all these wonderful things. Sending love and prayers.
I will surely say a prayer for this lovely couple and thier beautiful angel! This story has touched my heart and I hope and pray for a miracle:-)
my prayers to the beautiful couple, to sweet Liam. I will be here waiting and hoping. Julie- as always you have moved me through your photography, through your words, through your caring. You are the best and you have done an exceptional job!
what amazing strong parents, and God gave them this special gift for a reason and he has given them the peace and extra strength to carry on through this! They will be in my thoughts and prayers as they continue through this journey and that they know NO matter what happens, they were given him for a special reason that they will cherish for the rest of their life! May God raise them up and hold on tight to them during this time.
I will be praying for this family everyday. God does create miracles. This couple is an example of unconditional love. God Bless them!
I was so touched by this story, the images and the AMAZING faith of this family! No matter what happens with baby Liam, he is so blessed to know so much love in his little life. We will continue to lift this sweet family in prayer. All things are possible through God!!
We’re sending up prayers for your family!
As a NILMDTS photographer, I can’t say enough about the organization. I am so glad you have found Julie to document this time! Tracy, Luke & Liam are in my thoughts and prayers for this journey. I can’t say anything others haven’t said better. God bless you!
God bless your family Tracy, Luke & Liam. Your family is in my prayers. Your unconditional love is felt by Liam.. The power of love has the ability to heal by the grace of God!

Praying for this family. May God wrap his arms around them and heal baby Liam.
I will be praying for our great physician to bring the healing needed in this journey of your life. Your story has lifted me in a way I cannot describe and I find it odd to tell you thank you, but thank you for sharing your strength and faith in this time. May God’s hand be upon you all.
