Thank you Kenneth. I know it's hard to imagine. No parent wants to think about it. All I can say is let your kid be a kid. Do little things together. They add up to special memories that will last a lifetime. Live life with no regrets and realize that this life is merely a stepping stone to the next level. Most sincerely...Marta

His pictures make me smile, I can see how full of life he is by the expressions on his face. Thank God you have these photo's to hold onto and keep the memories alive. I lost my son a year and a half ago and don't know where I would be without the pictures of him to show to his little sister. You are in my prayers. Stay strong. ((biiiig hug))

Thank you so much Stacey. Your gallery is awesome! You photograph children extremely well. I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine what it would be like to watch a child die from an illness. We are both very lucky to have images of our boys to help keep their memories alive. A big hug right back at ya!

WOW, Marta - this is SUCH a fabulous image of Cole!! I really thought that I had already commented on it... Isn't it WONDERFUL that we have keepsakes like this of our young ones? I can only IMAGINE how devastating Cole's sudden loss must have been for all your family...but having the support of SO many relatives AND friends (including those here on BP!) - A-N-D having all your BEAUTIFUL memories of him, too - must help somewhat, I guess... Marta, I am - and will be - thinking of you, and praying for you and your family... I also send you MANY *congratulations* on your Finalist recognition for this image back in April - it was MOST deserved, and I'm sure the accolade made you VERY proud to be Cole's mother!! Keep up the GREAT work with your photography!! :o)

Marta J. Baldwin |
Thank you so very much Carolyn. I am incredibly proud to be Cole's mother and to have this image recognized amoung the finalists. Having many good memories and wonderful friends makes this time in my life a lot easier to take...Believe me! I really appreciate all the thoughts and prayers I can get. Thank you again for being a good friend!

I didn't realize that this one was a Finalist!!!! Belated CONGRATS Marta!!!! I LOVE this capture of Cole!!!!!

Marta J. Baldwin |
Thank you very much Angela. This is definately one of my personal favorites as well. I took so many shots on this day...I remember it well. It was about 80 F and we were in Wenatchee, WA at my Mom's house. I had just figured out how to get 'stop action' shots and Cole made a great subject by doing all these crazy flips and jumps off of the diving board into her pool. I thank God for that day.
