A Beautiful Story . . . and Giving Back

Here is a portrait of Becky’s beautiful family:

This portrait was taken in April 2011, two years after she and I first met.

I am an affilate photographer for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, a non-profit organization that introduces rememberance photography to families suffering the loss of a baby. Becky and I met in April 2009 when I came to the hospital to take portraits of her sweet little angel baby Roderick.

Two years later, she contacted me to ask if I would do 1-year portraits for her son!

Becky, I was so happy to hear from you and to hear how great your family is doing. I appreciate your willingness to share your story. I sometimes find it hard to share about the wonderful services that NILMDTS provides, but it is so important for people to know about, and your story is the perfect way to do this.

Happy Birthday, Big Lils!

Edited to add:

Here is a link to an interview Becky and I did with NBC San Diego about the services offered by Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep: http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/How_Photography_Can_Help_Parents_Grieve_San_Diego-122120259.html
