Most couples usually rejoice as they embrace their newborn baby after childbirth. Unfortunately, for Emily and Richard Stanley, all they had was a few hours to spend with their baby.
Photographer Lindsey Villatoro managed to capture the couple’s final precious moments spent with their daughter, Monroe Faith Stanley, who died in the womb after her umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck.
The photos taken by Villatoro show the couple looking on wistfully at their daughter—in some photos, Emily even broke into a slight smile as she held her daughter.
