BABY CAROLINE'S STORY

Welcome to the world my sweet niece, Caroline Elise. Caroline is the third child of my older brother and his wonderful wife. She is the first girl in her family. She is petite, she is beautiful and she is a true gift from God. Caroline was long awaited. She was dreamed of, she was prayed for and despite the fact that she was born with certain complications, Caroline was born exactly the way she was meant to be.

Shortly after giving birth, it was discovered that Caroline was born with a cyst-like mass on the back of her head. After further evaluation they realized that Caroline also only had one eye. Testing and Mri's revealed that not only was Caroline special on the outside, but on the inside as well. Caroline was born with a brain malformation that makes it so her brain does not have the normal separation that it should. Caroline had surgery to remove the mass on her head, which was successful. She spent days in the NICU with her mama by her side, to be monitored for seizures, but had none.

What do all of these complications mean for Caroline? At this point we do not know just how Caroline's life will be affected by these medical issues. And so we wait and watch. What we do know is that baby Caroline breathes on her own, she nurses, she cries, she kicks her feet and she even grips your hand. While her tests say she is different, so far, she is doing exactly what she is supposed to as a newborn baby.
Her parents and extended family are so incredibly thankful for the gift that Caroline is, and are holding to their faith, that God has a plan for her life. While her future is unknown to us, we are confident that God's hand is on Caroline, and we trust Him with her life.
I have set up a button to accept donations that will be given to Caroline's parents, to help offset her current and future medical costs. Along with any of the donations I receive, all profits from sessions and prints that I make during this holiday season will go to baby Caroline. With the holiday season approaching, consider your gifts wisely this year. Please search your heart and donate for our sweet baby girl. Please comment your thoughts and prayers for baby Caroline, on the post below, and they will be forwarded to her family.

"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me... For when I am weak, then I am strong."
2 Corinthians 12:8

Sneak peek for "C" Family!

I have been so blessed to have been able to photograph these two cuties since they were teeny tiny! I absolutely love being able to watch them grow, and watch how their personalities develop. This little beauty used to be so shy, but has developed into quite the little ham in front of the camera! I love it!! Every year we get to do our annual dance session, which means lots of girly outfits, which I adore! The last shot is one of my all-time fav's...thanks Mom for being so awesome about the glitter!!! Enjoy!

Baby "G" is here!

This sweet little guy was just 6 days old when we did his first shoot! All of his big brothers and sisters crowded around as we blasted the heat(and sweated), blew the hairdryer for white noise and shushed this sweet boy to sleep. And boy was it worth it...

Welcome to Marion Burgos Photography!

Welcome! I am a newborn and family lifestyle photographer serving the greater Litchfield County and a stay at home, homeschooling, mother of five.

Marion Burgos Photography came to life after the birth of my third child, and after my last failed attempt at getting department store portraits of all three of my children at once.

Yes, after one too many failed trips of dragging my kids to the mall, I decided that I would take the task of picture taking into my own hands. I decided that I would never again sit in a crowded waiting area with my cranky kids only to capture portraits with pasted on fake smiles, three days before Christmas.

And I decided I would never again pay outrageous prices for cookie cutter portraits, in print sizes I would never use. What does someone do with one hundred "mini-wallets" of the same pose anyway? Even if they were only $3.99, I decided I no longer wanted them.

I wanted images of my children that truly capture their goofy, little personalities. I wanted pictures of them being silly, being tender, running wild...pictures of them being themselves.

If there's one thing I've learned from being a mother of five, it's that moments are fleeting, seasons pass and children grow up. And those sweet, signature expressions our little ones have, those are the ones I want to capture. Those are the memories I want to frame, and cherish, and remember.

So join me as I strive to create and capture those special images that keep our kids small forever.
