So there is a company that I’ve read about through this awesome photographer, Jodie. I’ve know about Jodie and her awesome photography through this blogger, Katie, who I consider a swell and close friend. Katie and her band man hubby Russ (Fundamental Elements) adopted the cutest little fella you ever did see and Jodie has taken the coolest pictures of them.

So anyways, Jodie volunteers for this organization called “Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.” I don’t know tons about this organization just because it does have a level of censorship to it. The volunteer photographers work with families who are about to or have lost a baby, usually during child birth. It’s so intense, incredibly emotional and I really want to be a part of it. I think that it’s important for parents to have a chance to remember their little one. It’s so hard, and I’ve read several photographer’s explain the impact some situations have on their lives and I feel like, if I’m able to have a passion for children, support their memories with tender photos that remind them about their little one’s short life, and empathize with them through tears and prayers, than I should be a part of it.

NILMDTS does have a rigorous application process because they require complete discretion and strategic and professional photography, so I think it’ll be a while before I can fully aspire to this.

Anyways…I just wanted to share that with you and see what you thought. Have you ever known anyone who’s been impacted by this organization?
