I wish I had the words to say how much this session meant to me. Madeline is a beautiful little baby girl who was born 11 weeks ago. Tragically, her mommy Liz died just 27 hours after she was born. Daddy Matt has been doing an amazing job getting through this obviously painful and bittersweet (and yet full of love) time. I know that when I first visited his blog I read each entry with tears streaming down my face. I was so honored to have been let into their lives for a little while yesterday morning and although I walked in feeling a little sad and nervous, I was SO happy when I left. Nothing can bring Liz back to Matt and Maddy, but I know she’d be proud of what a great job he is doing, and he IS doing an awesome job balancing all the demands of new daddy-hood while still grieving the loss of his beautiful wife. Madeline is such an adorable little peanut – she is still SO tiny (under 8 lbs!). I’ll add more photos later, but for now, here are a few…
This was the very first shot I took, and honestly, I could’ve put down my camera after this one. The love in their eyes when they look at each other is just so heartfelt…
her beautiful baby blues & teeny teeny toes…
One of Matt’s blog-readers sent these staues. How very very sad and yet, isnt it nice to believe that Liz is looking after them….
Matt & Madeline -I loved meeting you both and *helping* with the curtains (ha!) I hope you are enjoying your flight to Minnesota right now – have fun with your family and I look forward to seeing you both again when you return home…
