NILMDTS Work

"NILMDTS offers the gift of healing, hope and honor to parents
experiencing the death of a baby through the overwhelming power of
remembrance portraits. Professional-level photographers volunteer their
time to conduct an intimate portrait session, capturing the only moments
parents spend with their babies. Parents are gifted with delicately retouched black and white portraits free of charge.

These priceless images serve as an important step in the healing
recovery for bereaved families. NILMDTS remembrance photography
validates the existence and presence of these precious babies by
honoring their legacy.

NILMDTS recruits, trains, and mobilizes professional quality photographers around the world. Through NILMDTS, medical providers are given a meaningful option to offer bereaved parents by creating remembrance portraiture for their babies.

Through further engagement in the organization, such as the NILMDTS Remembrance Walk
and online support, families become a part of a compassionate and
supportive community. Parents gain a sense of inclusiveness, alleviating
the alienation and perception of being alone in their pregnancy or
infant loss journey."
