The course will share how photography is increasingly becoming a best practice for healthcare providers that deal with perinatal loss. These best practices offer quality heirloom portraits to bereaved parents, which will likely be the most priceless gift they will receive.

Providers will learn about the research that shows the benefits to parents and the difference it makes with regards to psychosocial support going forward. Providers will also learn essential communication skills for offering photographs during such a sensitive time.

NILMDTS will demonstrate how to create an intimate portrait session that will elevate the quality of photographs for the bereaved families that are served.

NILMDTS will also discuss the identified practice gaps and provide guidance on overcoming them. Through interactive demonstrations, providers will learn how to offer and/or create an intimate portrait session for a family.
