AFFILIATED PHOTOGRAPHERS
You will find fulfillment by volunteering your talent to families experiencing the loss of a baby. The professional-level photographs you will gift can turn a hidden pain into healing for bereaved families, bring awareness to a community, and provide a sense of honor to you.
Our Affiliated Photographers walk alongside families during some of their only moments with their babies. The majority of our sessions take place at hospitals and all photos are gently retouched in black and white.
The Affiliated Photographer position requires an application and evaluation of photography and lighting skills.

“I was nervous to join NILMDTS. I wasn’t sure I could handle the emotional part of capturing a session. I’m glad I was encouraged to give it a try though. I was surprised by how strong I am. It is still hard, but I can handle it. And, I know there is support from NILMDTS if I need to talk with someone.”
~ Jenn Cheesebrow, NILMDTS Volunteer since 2018
