Josie

We were so thrilled to be able to visit Baby Josie in the hospital again this afternoon. She has had a pretty rough couple of days. Her blood sugar was low, and she was taken to the NICU the evening after she was born. All of this was very unexpected, and as you can imagine, Stacey and Lia are very concerned about their new baby. Yesterday they were able to move to a hospital room in the NICU, where they have been able to “room-in” with Josie. They are so excited to be back in the room taking care of her! She is doing so much better, and will hopefully be coming home with her Mommy and Daddy very soon. Please keep Josie (and the entire family) in your prayers.

Josie is gorgeous, and despite all that they have gone through in the last 48 hours, Stacey and Lia are full of joy over their new family. We feel so incredibly blessed to have been able to spend time with them during this exciting chapter in their lives! Being able to document the time before Josie arrived, the family coming together for the first time, and the baby in the hospital two days later has been an amazing experience. We are so thankful to have been there!

    Words cannot describe how valuable these pictures are to us. Thank you so much. Stacey and I just cry when we look at them. I knew I was going to like them, but I had no idea how moved I would be seeing the whole experience documented like that. We will cherish these FOREVER! -Lia and StaceyReplyCancel

    Since I couldn’t be present for the birth of Josie it was so wonderful to view your slide show. I can’t wait until I can actually hold this precious baby. . . . but in the meantime the slides are so real I feel I’m almost touching her when I look at them. The miracle that she IS has been captured by your lense. What a ministry you lies ahead of you! All stages of life are such gifts to us from God. . . . and you capture that with you pictures. Thank you.
