From The Other Side
Nicole Bennet’s world was completely turned upside down when her husband died while she was pregnant with their second child. Sadly, Nicole’s husband passed away before they had a chance to shoot any maternity photos. However, Nicole contacted photographer Sidney Conley and the two were able to come up with something very special in remembrance of her beloved husband.
Sidney had the idea to photoshop in a previous image into the photos to give the appearance that he was there with them during the photo shoot. Nicole told ABC News, “I wanted to do something special because he’s been there for my son since day one. It’s memories for my son of his father and for my daughter who will never meet her father, it’s memories for her as well.” It was also an emotional process for the photographer who said, “It brings me to tears, looking at the photos myself,” Conley said of the photos. “Just how I edited [the photos] with him looking down on them, it’s showing that he’s making sure they’re OK.” What an amazing image to look back on in the years to come, especially for the young girl who will never get the chance to know her father in real life.
