As most of you know, I am an affiliated photographer with Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. This organization provides professional photography services to families who are experiencing the loss of a child, at no charge. I am so blessed to be part of this organization. I am often asked," how do you do this...it's so sad." Well, I couldn't agree more... it is very sad. I am watching these families go through what is probably one of the most painful moments in their lives. It's a very helpless feeling. One thing that I have to remind myself every time I get THAT call from the hospital is- I can't change anything that is happening to these families. I can't stop their child from passing away or bring their precious angel back. I can, however, help document the connection between these grieving families and their child. These images of their final moments together can be a treasure that families can keep with them forever. It is an honor to photograph these angels and help begin the healing process for their loved ones left here on earth. Having shared this special bond, I hold these children and their families very close to my heart.
