When Amber Bartlett was told she'd be unable to conceive again she felt her life was turning to the dark side.

Amber had been diagnosed with cancer and a rare copper deficiency disease that meant her 2 children would never have a little brother or sister.

But against all the odds, 11 years after her diagnosis, a miracle happened… Amber fell pregnant with a baby boy.

Doctors didn’t hold much hope for the little mite, as Amber's autoimmune disease and bi-weekly blood infusions left them unsure if she'd be able to carry her baby to term.

So, because the force is strong with this one – and his mum's a bit of a Star Wars superfan – they roped in his photographer aunty Trish McCoy to put together a photo shoot that's truly out of this galaxy.
