I had mentioned earlier this year that I was accepted as a volunteer photographer with Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS). I don’t typically share any photos from these sessions due to respect for the parents. Last week I got a call to Riverside to photograph a little, baby girl who at 38 weeks was born still. All cases are extremely different I’ve found and I connect to each case completely different. For whatever reason this case was extremely touching to me and the feelings of remorse I had for the parents is unexplainable. If I could only take away their pain I would in a heartbeat. I can’t though but what I can do is provide them with beautiful images of their daughter that I hope can bring them comfort and peace in this difficult time. This organization truly touches my heart and I’d love for there to be more recognition of it for those other families that lose their babies. That is why I am posting this image (with approval of the parents) and asking all of you that know someone who may be in this situation to tell them of this free service.

June 20, 2010Ella
June 16, 2010Oh, how I love Ella! She is just the happiest little girl and so darn cute. I did her photos a couple weeks ago, in studio, for her bday invites and this time we headed to the park for some outdoor and family shots. Was hard picking my favs to share with ya’ll.
Big ‘ol Family
June 16, 2010This was the first large family session I have done. 18 people total! Whew! It went better as expected. — Just a few sneak peeks!
Emma and Ava
June 16, 2010It’s always fun to see little ones back after a year of photographing them last. Here is 3 year old Ava, last saw her when she was celebrating the big 2! — and of course her cute big sis Emma! Enjoy the sneak peek!
Girls, Girls, Girls!
June 16, 2010Had lots of fun with these girls. The two older are twins and the two younger ones (age 3 and 5) are celebrating their birthdays! Enjoy the sneak peek!
Mason
June 16, 2010“Sometimes”, said Pooh, “the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” — One more sneak peek while I catch up on all my editing. This is my best friends baby I photographed this evening. Early on in her pregnancy they weren’t sure if he was going to make it and gave her the option of abortion or sticking it out. I can’t imagine the toughness of that decision but here he is at one week old. So tiny and such a miracle! Congrats!
Meet Miles
June 8, 2010Meet Miles – 6 month old cutie! He was a very good boy for his session considering we dressed him up as a cowboy, a monkey, put a tie on him and even leg warmers and a bare bum!
Buckeye Fans and a Cake Smash!
June 4, 2010There is never a time not to be a Buckeye fan when you live in O-H-I-O. These pics were done for a father’s day present and then you can forget Zack’s first birthday pictures either! This cake smash session happened to be a little bit messier than the last! He tried to take off and slip and slid everywhere. Lots of fun, lots of laughs! Happy 1st birthday Zack!
Foster
June 3, 2010Ok…the eyelashes…to die for or what?! We had lots of fun doing this shoot. Catching up with old friends and getting to know her little man! Enjoy the sneak peek, I had a hard time picking my favs to share!
Addison
June 2, 2010It’s always fun to see a little one back and see how they’ve changed. This is Addison, I did her newborn portraits and now her 6 month ones! Enjoy the sneak peek!
