One that we were selected for by the Midwest Transplant Network for our family to be featured in their 2012 calendar. We drove to Kansas City (up and back the same day!), had a quick lunch with Paul before we went to the studio. We had a wonderful friend who works at the transplant center come and document the process by taking photos with her phone so we could share a sneak peek with all of you! We spent two hours in the studio. We started with a make up artist (who touched us up several times, it was hot under those lights)! They took individual photos with the props we had brought that were part of Max - his quilt, his drumstick bag & sticks, his disc golf discs, his letter jacket. Then we took LOTS and LOTS of family photos together as we were videotaped being interviewed about the donation process. It was an amazing gift and we are so grateful to have been selected for this honor and to share Max in this way.
We have each had our emotional moments and our freak out moments, it was a big step for us, one that tangibly shows our family is going on without Max in it. We will receive a CD with the professional photos on it as an additional gift sometime in November, at which time I can share ALL of the photos with you. We even had a *BIG* sign from heaven today that God sent our way as approval for this ...
Thanks to Sarah for nominating our family and documenting our special day together.
