Parents pose with their little girl in the most poignant newborn photoshoot ever
Beautiful.
Parents Steven and Gloria Kimmel sadly lost their firstborn child in 2015.
Isaac passed away in July of that year due to Type 1 spinal muscular atrophy.
Paying tribute to their son, Steven and Gloria both got matching angel wings tattooed on their back.
“We wanted to have a beautiful physical reminder of Isaac’s life and the promise of being with him in the afterlife," the mum explained to Yahoo Beauty.
“The tattoo was meant to be his angel wings. He was half of each of us, so we each had one of his wings to hold us. The tattoos are a reminder that he is always with us in spirit.”

The couple went on to welcome a baby girl two years later, and decided to include their son in their daughter's newborn photoshoot – and it is one of the most beautiful photos we have seen in a long time.
Grace Arend, Gloria's sister shared the wonderful photo on Twitter where is has been re-tweeted over 20,000 times.
Captioning the photo, Grace wrote: "My sister and her husband got tattoos of angel wings after their son died 2 yrs ago.They had a baby girl in June. This moves me to tears."
And it looks like we weren't the only ones who are moved by the photo.
Beautiful! What an amazing way to share in the joy of a new baby while keeping the memories of the one with angel wings.
