This morning is Easter morning and as I get ready to attend services on this special day, I cannot help to think, that I have too been touched by an angel....YOU are an angel.... Your coming into Teodora's life and the rest of her family and friends, was no coincidence. I thank God every day for people like you, and thank you for touching the lives of this family. Thank you for touching me so deeply this morning! God bless you; Happy Easter and Passover Aurora, thank you for sharing this amazing story on Skip’s blog.

Your last photo - of the parents looking at the child - is a eulogy. It's beautiful. I am sure they will recognize that moment again and again in their lives.

I think the hardest part is working up to leaving for your first session not knowing what to expect from yourself. Before I started I thought I would need to have a good cry after leaving the hospital, however I can tell you now as a veteran, that I get in my car to go home with a real sense of peace, knowing that an hour or two of my time has given these families a lifetime of memories. I think we all got into the Photography business for one reason or another, for me it was to help people to remember the love they have for one another and themselves, and it just doesn't get much more sacred than these moments. I think it keeps my finger constantly on the pulse of why I do what I do, for my family and for yours. The quote Skip shared above couldn't be more true, my life and my heart are fuller for having given what I can to these families it always fills my heart to know I've been able to help them even in some small way! (if you think you might like to do this and are on the fence feel free to call me or e-mail me I would be happy to talk to you about how this organization can change your life!

My tears are pouring reading it and relive the most precious moments in our lives! I also want to take a moment to thank all the photographers from the NILMDTS who volunteer their time to help families like ours walking through the darkest moments of their lives. I also want to let you know how much we cherish the pictures you took. I carry Dora's picture in my wallet everyday. It reminds me not only her beautiful face, but all the wonderful people she brought to us, including her aunt Aurora. I know my little girl is just as happy as we are now to see her little brother grow everyday, and to see more people like you bringing light to other people's lives. Love and kisses to your little princesses! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Weihua Dear Aurora,

I am the local NILMDTS coordinator in my area and have done several sessions. Yes, they are tough but the greatest feeling as a photographer is when i place the DVD in the mail knowing that this is all they will have of their beautiful baby to remember them by.
