Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation

The post below is from the NILMDTS website, the NILMDTS is a foundation for infant loss rememberance portraiture. These portraits are done on a voluntary basis by affiliated photographers across the United States. Parents experiencing a loss can search for a photographer on the NILMDTS website. This organization is a non-profit foundation. NILMDTS is in the midst of their fundraising drive, I ask all of you who read my blog to visit their website and consider giving a donation.

Thank you!

With the Month of October being recognized as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, The Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation holds its Annual Fund Drive for six weeks starting in mid-September and ending in October.

President Ronald Reagan enacted Proclamation 5890 in October of 1988 to recognize that each year, approximately a million pregnancies in the United States alone end in miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a newborn child. Reagan stated, "A national observance offers us the opportunity to increase our understanding of the great tragedy involved in the deaths of unborn or newborn babies. It also enables us to consider how, as individuals and communities, we can meet the needs of bereaved parents and family members... "

If you are in a place to make even a small contribution to NILMDTS, please know that doing so will continue to allow the organization to provide improved resources, training, communication, and other tools necessary in support of our amazing contingent of professional photographers who provide the gift of free remembrance portraiture to families in need.

Our next project we are working on is an online, interactive webinar version of our Formal NILMDTS Training taught by Co-Founder Sandy Puc' allowing anyone in any country with access to a computer to complete the course online. Donations help make programs like this a reality! Your Donations Support the Organization in Many Ways - * By supporting the continued education of our volunteer photographers * By allowing us to further our outreach to hospitals and hospices across the world * By offsetting the costs associated with outreach efforts including Formal NILMDTS Traingin Seminars * By supporting the Family Forum which creates a productive and supportive haven for healing * By supporting the Photographers' Forum which provides a helpful environment for our member photographers to express their feelings and receive advice on the various issues that they face in this noble work * By supporting the day to day operations of our Headquarters Offices

We have been out playing!

Ok, so I got my oldest daughter all punked out....she wants to start her own band. We went outdoors and took some pics of my little rocker chick! Let me know what you think. We had fun, she loves hamming it up for the camera.....she does a great angry rock chick look...

Shoot on hold

Well....thanks to the storms out there it is extremely overcast and not at all the kind of weather that you want to have 3 kids out on a lake taking pictures. So ......until now we are holding off on the photo shoot for today. I have been researching and planning so that I can hopefully capture some amazing shots. Stay posted......

Ok, so tomorrow is a big day. I am headed out to my Uncle's lake house to try out the scenery out there. I am hoping that it is a beautiful day. You never know especially with Hanna on one side and Gustav on the other how our weather will turn out. I am going to do pics of my kids, try out some new ideas and see how it turns out. Wish me luck and I will post a few pics here when I get back! For all of you evacuating for Gustav.....my prayers are with you! Be Safe!!

Patience is a virtue!

Ok guys, I am new to this kind of thing. I am computer literate, but also a computer idiot. I am not familiar with designing web pages and all that cool stuff. So I am going to be learning as I do this. However green I may be when it comes to blogging, I am excited none the less. I think it is going to be fun. I will be sharing my photos from various session with you as I go, as well as posting about my experiences. I look forward to hearing from all of you and can't wait to get started.....
