Donna’s Gift
Click the picture for Donna’s slide show. I’m warning you though: I cried the whole time I was making this one.
For those of you who aren’t running Flash on your computer, here’s a few more of my favorites.
Donna’s co-workers gave her a gift certificate for a maternity session and a newborn session. What a kind gift! I humbly wish my pictures are what they were all hoping for.
When my 12-year-old son, Bradley, saw this picture, he said, “She looks like the kind of person who is naturally a really good mommy.” Isn’t that sweet of him? Donna and Dylan are so cute together.
I love the emotion in this shot.
In this one, Donna is daydreaming about her new baby, relaxing in the summer heat … waiting.
A little bird told me Donna’s husband likes black and white pictures, but they’re not all black and white. I really love this slide show and I can’t wait to meet the new baby! He’s due any day now! May God bless you and your family, Donna.

My family calls me "the mamarazzi."
I got to see baby Dean at the hospital 3 days after he was born. He’s beautiful and has black hair and looks just like his daddy and big brother. He has mommy’s mouth and lips. They’re so happy with their new baby. Can’t wait till you go back and take pictures of baby Dean. You take beautiful, stunning pictures. Great job and the song was beautifullll…..
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !
That’s great news!
Hi Jules,
she delivered today (7/19) at 10:16am. Dean Matthew is 7 lbs 10 oz.
Just wanted everyone to know.
Just beautiful!!! Thats all i have to say. It should be in a magazine!!! Good luck Donna!
WOW. I never expected these pictures to be as beautiful as they were. I never got to see Donna pregnant with the boys but she absolutely makes a beautiful pregnant mommy. Dylan is so gorgeous and looks just like his daddy. I got so emotional during this slide show. They so deserve this second chance at parenthood. I can’t waittttt to meet Baby Dean!!!!
Absolutely the most spectacular slide show ever. Every picture is so perfect the music is perfect. I can watch it over and over again! I can’t think of a better way to sum up these past months and even years than with these pictures. They are absolutely priceless.
Ohhh…she does look like a good mother!
They are all so nice, but that last one is fabulous!
