NILMDTS

When I take photos or have sessions, I really am so blessed to do what I love to do and meet new people and capture the spirit of all these beautiful children and their parents, but sometimes I do get calls and it is not the case for all.

On July 4Th when everyone is celebrating, having BBQ's, spending time with family and loved ones, I get a call from Redlands Community Hospital asking for my services… I can always recognize that phone number every time it comes up.. I know this is not a phone call I ever want to receive, but life has a strange way of testing all of us and I answer and I go..

I belong to a organization called NILMDTS ( Now, I Lay me down to sleep).. .

this is a non profit organization that is a free service to families where their baby will not make it or has passed after birth and as photographers, we go in requested by the parents to come in and honor that child or children by taking heirloom pictures of their little one and with their parents…
If you are a professional photographer and are not involved, I do urge you to become a volunteer.. I think it is the most beautiful gift we can give families during their loss and help in the healing process at the same time. And if you are not a photographer, you can still donate to this wonderful organization by clicking here..
Please stop by, check it out and know that this service is out there to families during a difficult time….
