I was asked to be present at the birth of Madison & Melody Delgado, conjoined twins who lived for about an hour and are now in the loving arms of their Savior. It was emotionally difficult but their parents, Jason & Vanessa Delgado showed such courage & strength in the Lord, they gave us all hope & allowed us to not only grieve but laugh and love. God bless the Delgado's!

Oh my goodness! I started to watch this at work and LOST IT - so beautiful and moving. One of my dearest friends just lost her twins, premature at 30 weeks. Sarah passed within an hour and Tessa lived for two weeks. I wish Steff had had somone as gifted as you there to take such lovely pictures and preserve the memories that they have from that time. She often says it was such a blur and she is worried she is forgetting...........you have helped this family preserve something very special and moving.
thank you so much Margaret, these are outstanding. We saw s many moments we didn't even know happened....can't way to see the rest.
Soli Deo Gloria!

Those pictures are wonderful, and I know the whole Delgado family will cherish them forever.
Margaret,
This truly took my breathe away. God really blessed us when you came into our lives in March 2005 when we met you for the first time at our son Jason and our beautiful daughter in law Vanessa's wedding. You have become such a big part of our family through the years. Words can not express how grateful we are to you for having such a servants heart and capturing these beautiful special moments we all shared with Melody & Madison that will live in our hearts forever. We look forward to the day when we will be able to meet them in heaven and share eternal life with our sweet M&M's. God bless you!!!!!

I can't find the words to express how beautiful the photos are. To be able to share this special day with my family from afar is beyond amazing. Thank you so much for what you have done for our family. I know that we will cherish these photos as we will always cherish our little girls, Madison Hope and Melody Joy.

The gift you gave the Delgado's is something no one can ever imagine. Your pictures are so beautiful. I wish we had had someone like you available when our grandsons were born in January. They were born at 23 weeks and although we took some pictures, there are never enough.
God bless you.
That was so very moving. My heart goes out to the Delgado family and I admire their faith and courage.

Margaret-
God worked through you in a way like no other- to be able to capture that day and the ambiance through your pictures. They are absolutely precious- and it truly captured what I have learned to be their families spirit.
Your passion may be photography but your gift is a tender and compassionate heart. This is such a breathtaking view of life, death, and all that stands still in between, it is beautiful. The Delgado's will cherish this video and pictures for all time, remembering this joyful and heartbreaking day. They will never forget this day, thanks to your gift God has given you. You were on sacred and holy ground this day. May God continue to bless you as you bless others.

My prayers and love are with you as you share the story of God's presence in this amazing moment of your life.

Margaret. What a cherished gift you have given the Delagdo's. Simply beautiful. Have you ever thought of joining www.nilmdts.org?
What you have done is record seomthing that will affect every person who sees it. There is a saying that goes " The deeper that sorrow carves into your heart, the more joy it can contain" Wonderful choice of music too.
Human life is precious no matter how long it is here with us. We must understand everything and everyone entering our lives is here to teach us something and is here for a reason. The blessings of God and the angels be upon your family during this time and always.
I am so happy that God gave you the talents He did so that you can bless people in the way that you have. Thank you, and thank you to the Delgado's, for giving me hope and love.
My heart is totaly broken for your family. I pray that this too will be a comfort to someone one day a you help others in the same situation. As I watched this moving video I was impressed in the strength and peace in Christ mirrored on both your faces. Your daughter is a blessed big sister to have you loving and teaching her as she matures. God keep you and bless you as each day dawns and sets. Esther...
WOW! What a gift you have in photography! What an awesome collection for these parents to grieve with and remember the special moments they will cherish forever.
Madison & Melody are absolutely perfect in our Lord's eyes. I don't know you, and you don't know me, but I want you to know that your faith and desire to follow your Savior is inspiring.
I am so proud to be able to watch your experience. Again, we don't know each other, but I pray I would have the same conviction and love as you all have shown.
God doesn't give us anything we can't handle!
Simply Beautiful!
My heart breaks for you both and your family. What a precious gift you have been given through Margret. May God continue to hold you all in is hands in the coming monthes.
Beautiful done! You captured it just the way it was supposed to be written. God Bless you.

Madison and Melody have their wings...
