Liam Anthony ~
“A life so brief,
A child so small,
You had the power to touch us all.”
To My Dearest Tracy, Luke and Baby Liam,
I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be a part of your love and your story. Your story of amazing courage, faith, love and strength. You have blessed my heart beyond belief. To see you holding on to the strength and love you have for each other. Thank you for allowing me to capture your precious little angel, to hold him, to love him & to kiss him. Liam will forever be a part of my heart.
Please, if there is EVER anything I can do….know that you have my love and support & I will always be here for your family.
SOOOO much love,
♥ Julie MayRee
For those of you who have been praying for Tracy, Luke and Liam, THANK YOU. Thank you from them, thank you from their family and thank you from me. Your outpouring of love has been amazing.
Last night around 8pm I received a call from Luke. Tracy’s water had broke and they had gone to the nearest hospital to them (a 2 hour drive from me.) I grabbed my gear, hopped in the car and drove as quickly as I could. There was a tranquil sunset of pink, purples…just breathtaking. It was Liam’s sunset…a sunset I will remember for the rest of my life.
I continued on my journey & called when I was about 30 minutes out & got voicemail….I was so worried I wouldn’t make it in time. As I was approaching the hospital I received a call from a family member letting me know that baby Liam had been born and they were holding him. By the time I made it up to their room, the sweet little man had gone to be with our Lord. Tracy and Luke received the blessing & the answer to prayer they had been asking for. They were elated that they were able to spend an hour and seven mintues with their precious little angel. I arrived to a room full of family. There were tears, there were smiles…..and there was a beautiful mama cradling her darling angel baby in her arms. Daddy’s face was lit up. I have never seen a daddy doting on their little one the way Luke was with Liam. He was so excited to be Daddy. He was so excited to be holding, touching, feeling his little boy in his arms. He was amazed by his hair, his eyelashes….his little nose, he went on and on . Daddy gave him a bath, fixed his hair and kissed all over him. We spent time photographing Liam, capturing the family loving on him. Soaking up all of the lovin’. As I was photographing the new little family, the way they embraced each other, the way the looked each other and their little man. I fell apart when Luke ran his fingers through Tracy’s hair and said, “you did wonderful baby.” The love and bond these two share is so inspirational. What amazing parents little Liam was blessed with. As I was leaving Tracy’s mom told me to take care of myself and my sweet little baby & to know that my baby has a friend, an angel watching over it……. Today I celebrate two amazing parents & the very short life of a beautiful little boy who will forever and ever be in my heart. Big kisses little Liam Anthony. xo

Heaven was blessed with a beautiful angel yesterday. My heart felt prayers go out to this family and to you. Julie, you are an amazing woman and a true inspiration!
As a mommy of an angel boy, my heart aches for you and your family. I am glad you were able to capture these moments, as these are more special than anyone knows and you will ALWAYS love having these. I said a little prayer to Ethan to find your Liam and show him around. (((HUGS)))
Bless you all; my heart goes out to you and your little angel. <3

What a beautiful post. I’ve been following Tracy’s story on BabyCenter.com for quite some time and as heartbreaking it is to lose a baby (I lost mine back in March) it is so beautiful to know there are photographer’s who can offer a family something as wonderful as these pictures. God bless you Julie for doing this…for taking these beautiful pictures of baby Liam- he’s a beautiful baby boy!
Tracy, you and your family are in my prayers.
