There’s
something about seeing a little newborn preciously posed with clothing,
keepsakes, or other familial props that really makes their announcement into
the world a celebration.
When
photographer Kim Stone shot the recently born Aubrey in a series of darling
setups, she posed her in soft pink sheets and beautiful blue headwear, like
these photogenic triplets.
But
the most powerful photo in the series is one of little Aubrey wrapped in
motorcycle gloves, next to a colorful, shiny motorcycle helmet.
The
hands gently curl around the child while she grins peacefully, safe under the
guise of big, strong arms.
This
image is particularly touching because it is representative of her father,
whose life was tragically cut short several weeks before her birth.
Though
her life began with a bit of strife, Aubrey’s sweet smile emulates hope for her
family.

When
her sweet baby was born, Kathryn decided to celebrate life in the face of loss
with a traditional newborn photo shoot.
Being
a friend of Kathryn’s grandmother, photographer Kim Stone was chosen to
photograph baby Aubrey.
But
one particular photo set the emotional series apart…

As
a touching commemoration to Hector, little Aubrey was wrapped in her late
father’s motorcycle gear.
But
it’s the sweet smile on her face that truly makes the photo something special.
As
though she was being carefully held by her father’s loving hands, Aubrey seems
happy and at peace — giving onlookers hope that perhaps Hector is still
watching over her.

detailing Kathryn’s poignant post-pregnancy.
Since
then, thousands of people have shared and responded, sending support and
well-wishes to the new family.

With
the wave of love, support, and blessings being sent Kathryn and Aubrey’s way, a
GoFundMe account was set up to help the young family get by.
These
sweet photos of little Aubrey prove that even in the face of loss and tragedy,
a new life can give hope to us all.
