Megan: I have actually been following both your blog and Nathan's blog for awhile and was so excited to see that you were able to get pictures of their family. I have always thought you were a fantastic photographer, but seeing what you have done for the Lawrenson family makes you one of my favorites now! :) Fanstastic work.
5.17.08, 3:56PM jeanette sanchez: Powerful photo. I can see the connection you made with Gwenyth, so sweet! 5.17.08, 11:02AM
Susan Berman: Jessica - I read your blog everyday, but rarely post, but this just got to me. These are beautiful photographs, but even more beautiful is the gift you gave to this family. They are blessed in so many ways and my prayers and thoughts go out to all of them for healthy recovery and for little Gwyneth to grow big and healthy! 5.17.08, 10:33AM
Beth: Definitely NO coincidence!! Blessings deserved by that family!
5.16.08, 7:41PM erin.: Jessica,
You look like a natural holding Baby Gwenyth!
5.16.08, 7:36PM Morgan : Jess, thank you so much for posting this. I have a good friend whose husband is being treated at Duke right now for adisease called Scleroderma, and they also have a little one, so I passed this info onto them and I think they were able to make a connection with this family. See how blogging unites us all?
5.16.08, 2:17PM Kristin : You take AMAZING photographs. If you ever get a chance, check out www.mattlogelin.com. Very tragic story but some neat photographs from an amateur. I bet you could capture his daughter beautifully and somehow incorporate his late wife. He seems to share some of they style of your photographs (him not his photos). Thanks for sharing your photos - I LOVE them. 5.16.08, 1:47PM
Nadine: What a lovely, heart-melting photo.
5.16.08, 1:07AM Kelly Vohs: I think it was a God thing. :-)
5.15.08, 8:42PM patrick: jes, with a connection/look like that, you know it is only a matter of time... ;-) 5.15.08, 2:03PM
elizabethk: jessica, i've always admired your work as a photographer, but now i'm truly amazed at your gift. i live in cary, nc and had the chance to read about this family when they were featured in the local paper a few months ago. your photos have captured more emotion and the love shared between them than the whole article could even begin to convey. thank you for using your gift to be a blessing to the lawrenson family. 5.15.08, 12:51PM
Araxi: They definitely deserved that 40 minute of sun. 5.15.08, 12:46PM

5.15.08, 10:57AM Stacy Reeves: Wow, you look so beautiful in that photo! It's amazing what kind of warmth and glow comes out of women when they get near babies
5.15.08, 10:50AM DrewB: No, she got quiet and happy because you are the baby whisperer! Maybe you should quit being a photographer and start being a nanny :) Or better yet, a mommy ;)
5.15.08, 10:18AM Robin Dini: it sounds like you had a inspiring and special visit with this family. their story is amazing.

And NO, I don't think it's coincidence.

I love getting the chills for stories like this. In the midst of chaos and despair there is always hope. :)
5.14.08, 11:51PM Carol Nanfito: Coincidence, maybe. Good fortune, could be. God, definitely!!
5.14.08, 11:50PM Nate: So glad you posted this pic!
If you know Tricia, you know that the sun shining when she steps out of a car, or enters a room, etc. is no coincidence...
