Rememberance Photography

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.
