Losing a child is one of the most profound sorrows a family can experience. Our In Loving Memory Stillborn portrait is a gentle way to honor your baby’s life — no matter how brief. Each portrait is carefully created to serve as a tribute to your little one, offering comfort, remembrance, and a tangible way to keep their memory close.

Many of the stillborn babies I paint, have severe skin tissue abnormalities that makes their faces look different. It’s common that the lips are very dark, and parts of the face may also have parts of red or blue. With most paintings I remove the skin abnormalities and the medical tubes that sometimes covers parts of the babys face. Making sure to capture the beauty of the child, and leave out some of the trauma attached to the image. 

This piece is not just a painting — The Stillborn Keepsake is a symbol of love, loss, and the forever bond between parent and child.
