I am not sure where to begin or how to title this new post.

Over the last two years I went to work full time at a credit union. I have met some incredible people. Members and coworkers alike. I've recently gone part time to refocus on photography and my family.

As life always is its beyond challenging. I believe we aren't given these challenges if we couldn't handle them. We learn and grow from them.

I've been honored to photograph my coworker's maternity and soon the birth of their daughter. They are now 37 weeks along. At this stage has gone farther than anyone's expectations and statistics. At first they were told their baby was diagnosed with down syndrome. Later tests have shown that their daughter has Trisomy 18. 1 and 3000 live births survive more than a few days. But most end in still born deliveries or don't live to see their first year. Their daughter keeps proving to be a fighter and her heart beat even with a small hole shows to be a strong 150 bpm.

I've been asked, with honor, to be their daughters photographer when she makes her entrance into this world. I am at loss for more words than I've already typed. I've got a challenge laid ahead me and them with a larger one with the unknown. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as their journey is soon to be much harder with many more difficult decisions to make. I hope I have the strength I will be able to provide them with a memory that they will be able to forever keep. I hope I will be able to share with you someone so little that has changed so many lives and has enriched them with love very soon.
