NILMDTS
Last month I applied to be a volunteer photographer with an organization that I hold really close to my heart, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep http://nowilaymedowntosleep.org/ . I just received an email stating that I have been accepted as an affiliated photographer. I am very proud to be a part of this wonderful organization. I decided to apply to volunteer after a dear friend of mine lost her baby at 40 weeks; on her due date she found that her daughter, Nora, no longer had a heartbeat. It impacted me and everyone she knew greatly; I still think about Nora and my friend every day. This organization means a lot to me because it's a way to give back to Nora and thank her for everything she has taught me about life, in just her short time. She has inspired me to be a better mother, a better friend, and a better person in general.
If you are reading my blog and you're a professional photographer, or an advanced amateur, I urge you to check out the website and see what you can do to help. You were given a talent for a reason!

Krysten, You are amazing, I believe that God has called each one of us to do something and that he sends us where he needs us, and I thank God that you will have the opportunity to bless these families.This is a beautiful organization and I will have to finish looking at it another time because my tears have blurred my vision.Your photography is amazing and will impact everyone that you bless with your work of love.

I too am a member of this organization and we are in need of more volunteers!! I'm so happy for you that you listened to your heart and applied. You will never regret applying to NILMDTS. It will change your life.
Krysten - You rock!!! I plan to apply once I'm a little more accomplished. Have you done a shoot yet? Let me know how it goes... the world needs more people like you. XOXO
Awesome! I, too, am a member of this organization. I had a similar reason for applying as well, a friend lost her baby at 38 weeks pregnant...no heartbeat. I decided to apply to give the precious gift of memories to families that go through similar tragedies. Thanks for joining too, your talent will be appreciated by so many!!
