Gina, your pictures are beautiful and I loved the video that your husband put together. Awesome. Maddy is so photogenic! What a great memory for them. Happy 1st Birthday Madeline!
Your photos are just gorgeous. I've just spent so much time pouring over everything on your blog--couldn't pull myself away! Love, love, love the pictures of Madeline, especially those with her and the balloons.
Beautiful pictures. You capture the spirit of both subjects so very well. The love between Matt and Maddy comes trough so vividly! You are a talent for sure.
Incredible talent! What a gift for Matt to have such beautiful pictures of him with Maddy. Thank you for sharing your talent with him and with us all! Those are treasures forever. ...and another thank you for the awesome video, too... These pictures leave me speechless and in awe.
Congratulations Ms. Gina! Your photography is stellar. The beauty of these pictures is beyond words. Thanks! You have such a talent (and the "BEST" models!) Gracias for share your wonderful work with all of us Sol from Argentina
The photos and video are awesome. Great job - Madeline is the perfect little subject! They look happy - hopefully as the years pass, they will become happier. Their story breaks my heart every time I read Matts blog.
I just love the ones where Matt and Maddy are sitting on the stairs and looking down into the dark. But the light shining down on them, could that be Liz? It looks like it to me...
What I've always loved about your pix of these two is that they capture JOY. Even the early ones you took were so full of joy and hope! To me, that is the best thing about your work.
Cuz let's face it. A monkey could click the shutter.
Wow! These photos are amazing. Now if I could just get my son to sit still long enough for pics lol. Happy 1st Birthday Madeline! Matt will be able to look back at these years from now and realize what an amazing young lady he's raising!
beautiful doesn't even begin to describe these photos and the video!! i love your work and these shots are absolutely gorgeous! thank you so much for sharing!!!
I don't know you but you did an awesome job of taking pictures of Matt and Maddy. When I first read Matt's blog I cried and it amazes me in how much Maddy looks like her mom. I wish you were in my area but we are on different coasts. I love the black and white photos of Maddy and Matt sitting on the stairs. By the way Happy first birthday Madeline.
I just wanted to thank all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules to leave your super awesome comments on the session we had with Matt and Madeline.. I do appreciate every single one and read every single one... There are so many, I wish I could respond to everyone of you, so I hope this is okay..
Matt touched my heart almost a year ago and since then madeline has filled my heart even more over the year.. they are both great people to photograph, but more importantly, They are my true friends, and I would do anything for them.. :)
Thanks guys.. you all rock.. Matt has such a great following with all your support..pure awesomness... :) G.
Stunning photos!! They have the ability to make us smile and cry at the same time. Thanks for giving us a little piece of the day to celebrate and remember.
Wow, fantastic pictures and the video is just amazing. Tears. Won't. Stop. Thanks for capturing these precious moments for Matt and Maddy and their family. They are priceless.
There is the image of what looks just like Liz in the background of the black and white photo of Matt taking a pic of Madeline. Was that intentional? Or maybe one of those things that is "magic" in the lens? I think it is totally cool whatever it is. I assume I am not the only one who saw it (amidst the tree background slightly top left of Matt).
Gina, your work is stunning here (as always...it's why we have it all over our walls!). You capture the emotion and mood so well. and the colors! Happy Birthday, Maddy!
Gina, Your art is amazing. BEAUTIFUL pics. Love the video, too- perfect song. I felt very peaceful as I watched. hugs to you! Cheryl in IN (Whosyergurl)
Wow, breathtaking video. It choked me up, one who has been following your blog from Minnesota when everything first began. The photos and video are priceless. A lot of love there!
Just had to look this up again after catching a glimpse on Oprah the other night. I must say, this has to be the most beautifully captured thing I've seen replayed on there...they were darn lucky to have an already made piece to show on there! Love it all, the song, the video, but especially the pictures. People don't understand why I love pictures more than video (although both were beautiful here), just look at how these pictures capture that perfect, fleeting moment. Love it.
Gina, your pictures are beautiful and I loved the video that your husband put together. Awesome. Maddy is so photogenic! What a great memory for them. Happy 1st Birthday Madeline!
