today was a hard day to find a photo that i liked and was willing to post. I told myself i was only going to take one more photo and that was it, and if it didn't turn out, well fine then I would chose the next best thing. My son (pictured above) fell asleep after a it of a car ride home and was just so unbelievably beautiful i had to snap another "last photo" This is what came of that. It really reminds me of a web site that I came across a day or so ago kicking around on some photographer sites/blog. Its called " Now i Lay me Down To Sleep".
As a parent myself, this struck me hard, because i was a lucky one to be able to hold and play with my child while other parents out there only have a few moments of life to cherish. This group of volunteers in the US go out with a moments notice to take photographs of newborn that sadly didn't make it. They provide everything free of charge and help the family come to terms of their loss and help them through this painful time. At the time most parents don't even know about this program, and its the nurses and support staff that call out the photographers to the parents and provide this service. Below is the link to their site. Please take a minute to read over what they do, and how the process works. Sadly this program is only offered int eh US. I would like to see something like this in Canada to help those who love and cherish their newborn, and instead of going home with their child, they go home empty handed and confused.
Here's there link. Take a moment and be warned if you are a parent, this might be hard to read over. I know it was for me.
