Iesha!

Had another great senior shoot, this time with Iesha up at Mt Tom. Fortunately her and her family were willing to work with me... (we were planning on heading back down to shoot at the resevoir... and well i went back down the wrong way and came out at the other entrance) so with her willing family, we went to Mt Holyoke College to shoot the rest of her senior shoot.

Slideshow: Check her out!

NILMDTS

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep is a non-profit organization where I recently became a volunteer photographer.

September 15-October 31 is the Annual Fund Drive, please do what you can to help this organization.



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... " To read the full Proclamation signed by Reagan, CLICK HERE. 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!
