The 13th Angel

Some of you know that I am a volunteer for an organization called 'Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.' As a volunteer, I get calls from the hospital when a baby has passed away or will very soon. I bring a small portable studio and do a free session for this family at the hospital. Most of the images are of their precious baby (we call them angels). I feel that the images are a wonderful part of the healing process. Families go home empty handed after such a great loss, until you experience it yourself, no one can know how special these images are to the family.

If you have any talent with photographing people, please consider signing up as a volunteer. Visit NILMDTS.org for more information. They can use digital retouch artists as well, sometimes a photographer just doesn't have the time to rebuild a face or hands that have damage, if you have that expertise, then they can really use that talent.
