On December 14, 2017, Stephanie Maynetto-Jackson lost her “twin flame” and husband, Stuart Jackson, in a fatal motorcycle accident. The 28-year-old was pregnant at the time and had an almost 2-year-old son, Dominic, and a 6-year-old stepson, Maliq.
The mom from Oahu, Hawaii, knew her life would never be the same, but she remained focused on her family.
After Jackson’s passing, Maynetto-Jackson decided to honor him in a maternity family portrait series to show he would always be a part of the family.
Photographer Phoenix Sipin from KM Ivelisse Photography explained that Maynetto-Jackson contacted her on January 7 after seeing her images and Photoshop experience. The photographer specializes in family photography and likes to “add an element of fantasy” to lifestyle portraits to make them unique.
“[Maynetto-Jackson] asked if incorporating her husband was something I was able to do for her maternity session,” Sipin recalled. “We have all seen images of loved ones who have passed away in photos. They are usually just a shadow figure with no features, but I wanted to go the extra mile for her and do it a little differently.”
