For those of you that are not familiar with this wonderful organization, please visit their website - NILMDTS. From the website:
The Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) administers a network of almost 7,000 volunteer photographers in the United States and twenty-five countries. At a family's request, a NILMDTS Affiliated Photographer will come to your hospital or hospice location and conduct a sensitive and private portrait session. The portraits are then professionally retouched and presented to the families on an archival DVD or CD that can be used to print portraits of their cherished baby.I learned about NILMDTS after losing our girls. We didn't have this service, but one of my VERY good friends that I met through LAMBs did and ever since I saw her photos, I was hoping that my skills would progress enough that I could offer my services to other grieving parents.
My girls are certainly watching over me this Christmas.
The NILMDTS mission statement:
That is so cool! A friend of mine send me the link about a month ago and I have it on my to-do list for this winter. I was worried that I wouldn't be accepted, not knowing exactly what their criteria would be. But now I'm even more excited about it since I know you were accepted to join them also. I want to do something good with my talent this year, so I thought this would be a great thing to do! Let me know if you get your first call through them and how it goes!
