In Loving Memory of Luke Eli | Townsville Birth & Bereavement Photographer
Some stories deserve to be told in full — in the quiet, in the heartbreak, in the sacred space where love and loss meet.
Luke Eli’s story is one of those. This post is not only a glimpse into the birth of a beautiful baby boy, but also a tribute to the strength of his parents and the memory he leaves behind.
With the permission and words of his mum, Gabriella, we are honoured to share this story — one that speaks not only to the unique heartbreak of pregnancy and infant loss, but also to the power of remembrance, community, and advocacy.
