LOS ANGELES -- A grieving couple chose to honor their stillborn child in a unique and emotional way, hiring a photographer to capture their last moments with their daughter Monroe.
According to Yahoo Health, Richard and Emily Staley wanted to make sure they captured time with their stillborn daughter, as well as honor her as part of the family.
Emily was rushed to the hospital late in her pregnancy after she no longer felt her daughter moving. She was then told her daughter had passed away, and a short time later she gave birth to Monroe Faith Staley as a stillborn.
Photographer Lindsey Natzic-Villatoro of Love Song Events and Photography was there to capture the emotional moment.
The couple spent nine hours with their daughter. The photographer shared the photos and her emotional experience with the family on her Love Song Events & Photography Facebook Page. The photos have been shared over 100,000 times.
