When Amber went into labor on July 1, she was only 19 weeks and five days along in her pregnancy. Her water had broken and she was terrified. She and her husband Monty together welcomed and said goodbye to their premature baby girl, who lived outside the womb for just 17 minutes.\u00a0Professional photographer Carly’s Lens was present at the birth of Amber and Monty’s daughter Emily-Anne Olive Ross and shared their story in an essay for\u00a0Love What Matters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I met Amber and Monty on the best and worst day of their lives, but when I walked into that hospital room, all I felt was the love,” she wrote. “Amber was on her yoga ball, arms on the bed, Monty behind her with a hand on her shoulder. I got to document two people who were undoubtedly going to survive this loss together, and squeeze every drop of joy out of this time they got with their daughter that they could. I knew this because of the mutual tenderness between them.”<\/p>\n
