In the days after a loss
Sadly when your child dies, you only have a very short space of time in which to create memories to last a lifetime. Whether your child has been with you for years, weeks or sadly you will not meet them when they are alive the hours after their passing are precious. For many parents the shock that they feel in this time means that they are not able to think about things that will help them in their healing.

The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives. The NILMDTS mission statement is to introduce remembrance photography to parents suffering the loss of a baby with the gift of professional portraiture. We believe these images serve as an important step in the family’s healing process by honoring their child’s legacy.”
