Gavin Blue is an award winning photographer, humanitarian, and the President of Heartfelt Australia and New Zealand.

For more than a decade, Gavin and his extraordinary team of over 320 volunteer photographers have quietly and reverently stepped into some of the most intimate and devastating moments a family can experience. Together, they offer free photographic memories when a baby dies before, during, or shortly after birth.

This is work done with deep presence.

With humility.

With radical compassion.

Gavin and the Heartfelt team meet families at the intersection of joy and grief, where love still exists even when hearts are breaking. Their photographs are not just images. They are legacy. Proof of love. A way of saying you were here, you mattered, and you are forever held.

This episode is tender, powerful, and deeply human. Please listen gently and take care of your heart.

Still frames. Eternal echoes.

One moment of presence. A single photograph, yet it echoes forever in the hearts of those left behind.

This conversation includes themes of stillbirth, baby loss, and grief. Please listen in a way that feels supportive for you.
