I have spoken before about NILMDTS, the organization that offers grieving familes, a professional photographer for their needs. I had another session yesterday. This one touched me more than any of the other sessions that I’ve done for NILMDTS. This family has gone through so much effort to create a child together, and have failed several times. This time, the mother was 22 weeks pregnant with twins. I photographed the baby girl yesterday. So tiny, so perfect! Every feature she had was beautiful and perfect! When I was photographing her, I just kept thinking, “I’m going to take the BEST pictures for this family, it’s my job to create beautiful pictures for this family to remember their daughter.” Emotionally, I was ok, until the mother started to cry, then I started to get a little teary. I really try not to , but you could just feel the love that this couple has for this little girl. For now, her 22 week old brother is still in utero, and I will be praying along with this family, that at least their little boy will have a fighting chance at a life, his little sister will never have.

Bless you for your work. I can imagine it is draining for you as the photographer—but what a precious thing to capture moments that can never be replaced. You will always hold a special place in this family’s life.
