At On Angels’ Wings, we’re here for you through the tough times. We offer ongoing support and grief recovery services for families with medically-fragile children or who lose a child at birth. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from. We start with free therapeutic photography to capture precious moments, and we’re with you every step of the way, providing mental health and wellness support for as long as you need. All of our services are always free of charge.

We’re here to love and support you through the loneliness that accompanies unimaginably difficult circumstances. We help you create memories that will last a lifetime and walk hand-in-hand with your family throughout your entire journey, especially when it feels like everyone else has let go.

We’re honored to capture fleeting moments for families during their most challenging times. Whether it’s a child born with congenital heart defects, suffering brain damage at birth, or any other severe medical condition, we’ve been there to provide comfort and create lasting memories.

Parents find solace in the photos we take, knowing these images capture the love and strength of their child’s journey. For many families, these photos are more than just pictures; they are cherished memories that acknowledge their child’s existence and impact. Our support goes beyond photography, offering a community of shared experiences and hope, making sure that no family feels alone in their journey.

We’re based in Springfield, Missouri, but we also serve families in St. Louis, Kansas City, Joplin, Rolla, Columbia/Jefferson City, and Southeast Missouri. If you’re in another part of Missouri, we’ll do our best to find a photographer for you. We’re also have chapters in Oklahoma City, Minneapolis, and Evansville (Indiana).
