Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Early last week, I photographed a sad and poignant session for the important organization where I volunteer. I know I've mentioned Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep on the blog before, but I think it's worth mentioning again, especially because the word about us has not spread very widely in these parts.

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep provides local volunteer photographers who will come to the hospital to do infant bereavement photography for families who are losing, or have lost, their babies. Most photographers offer not only the shoot gratis, but a slideshow set to music on DVD and a second DVD of high-resolution images. Last week I photographed a baby born early to a wonderfully warm and brave couple. Above is one of the beautiful photographs commemorating their young son.

Exuberance is Beauty

I've made a new wonderful blend. It's 16"x20" and can be printed either as a canvas or a print. Can you picture your own daughter's image here?

This is Julianne, and she's wearing one of our new and so fun poofs. This poof is pink with an orange ruffle, and it is simply the most delicious bit of clothing I've seen in a while. Julianne wasn't even in the mood for photographs, ham that she usually is. But the second she laid eyes on that skirt, away she went! It was all I could do to keep up with her. Come and have your little girls photographed wearing a poof! Studio or on-location--either would be great. Here Julianne is leaping off a garden bench. Let's get these great shots while the sun is still shining.
