A Llandybie maternity photographer, who has lost three babies herself, is supporting similarly bereaved parents as a remembrance photographer for a bereavement charity.

Adele Morris, who went to school in the Amman Valley and Tregib, is stepping back into the same hospital where she lost her firstborn 15 years ago, as she joins Remember My Baby as their volunteer remembrance photographer.

Currently in Porthcawl, Adele is known to capture moments of pure joy for new parents at her studio, where she works as a maternity and newborn photographer.

Remember my baby is a charity which provides remembrance photography to parents who have lost their babies before, during or shortly after birth at no cost to the family or the hospital across the UK.  

Adele said: “There are just no words to explain the depth of despair that a parent goes through when they have lost a baby.

“It is without a doubt, one of the most difficult experiences that a parent will ever endure, and 15 years ago I found myself encountering first-hand the loss of my first son.

“Looking back, I vividly remember how incapable I felt to share the grief, knowing there were no words that could make the situation better.”

Adele recalled the support not being there for her 15 years ago and opened up about relying on her old school friends from the Amman Valley and family to get her through the initial shock of the grief.

She added: “Knowing how important the remembrance photography role is, I was overjoyed when I successfully passed the verification process to offer my services within a very small group of South Wales photography volunteers for Remember My Baby."  

Adele found herself starting the volunteer photography role spending time with a family, photographing their beautiful baby to keep his memory alive, in the exact same room, in the Swansea hospital where she last said goodbye to her son.

“After delivering the photos, I found out the birth dates also matched,” Adele said. “I take great comfort in this, it was an honour to provide the family something very special on my 15th anniversary of being a bereaved parent.”
