Well, I thought I would be taking some time off for maternity leave starting this month but I have a very sad reason for taking time off. At 34 weeks, I lost my baby. We named him Matthew. I had wonderful midwives take lots of pictures and I took a few myself. I wasn’t sure about sharing something like this on my business blog but I’ve had to cancel some of my client sessions so some of you already know anyway.
Here’s just one of the pictures of his sweet little hand.

I have no words… I am so heartbreakingly sorry to hear this terrible news. I am so sorry that you have had to lose Matthew this way and for you to have to go through this. I only came to visit your blog today by chance after such a long absence, but to hear this news…. so so sad. My heart and thoughts are with you and your family.
