25th April, 2009 – Beau has left us. RIP precious baby boy 
I’m Praying for Beau – Photo Project
Click HERE to view the photos.
Here’s our photo from yesterday. The kids were being STINKERS, but we got there in the end 
If you’ve been following my blog, you may remember that I photographed baby Beau in October 2008 on behalf of the Australian Charity of Child Photographers.
Beau has Type 1 SMA Babies diagnosed with SMA typically do not live past 12 months of age
You can visit his Facebook page here.
Beau is 10.5 months old and really struggling
Here’s where you come in….
I want to fill a gallery with “I’m praying for Beau” photos.
I need you to take a photo that includes the words “I’m praying for Beau”. The creativity is up to you.
I want your photo to represent you or your family or your home etc. I want to get photos from all over Australia…the world.
You could have your child hold up the words on a sign. You could write the words in the sand. Your could draw them with chalk on the concrete.
You could sky-write in a plane….okay, maybe not, but you get the idea
Your photo does not have to be a work of art – it’s the thought that counts.
If you could PLEASE spare the time to take a photo, I would appreciate it greatly.
You can e-mail your photo to – rachelrichter@optushome.com.au

By the way, I hope you don’t mind I put a link of this particular article in my blog with the photo I’ve taken.
Please let me know if you want me to remove the link.

My heart skipped a beat reading of little Beau leaving. I will hold my baby tighter and longer. It is not right to lose your child. My sympathies to Beau’s Mummy and Daddy and families. Very sad.
