Now I Lay Me Down to sleep (NILMDTS)
"Remembrance photography volunteers capture special moments of love for parents experiencing the loss of an infant. This precious gift helps provide healing for a family while honoring the baby’s legacy.
Unfortunately a hospital setting doesn’t generally offer the natural light needed to create the beautiful and timeless images that we want to gift to our families; therefore it is important that our photographers demonstrate the strong skills using portable or auxiliary lighting.
Photographers need to capture images with incredible focus. The subjects of our images are small but full of detail and we want to make sure that our families’ eyes are drawn into the image creating a strong connection.
Posing is a key element to the photos we create. Our photographers have a good sense of the rules of posing and always work to take photos with their subjects in the most flattering positions. "
