In memory of Hannah Naomi, a dear friend's baby daughter whose life on this earth was just for a moment, I am announcing that I have become a volunteer photographer with the non-profit organization Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.
This organization works to preserve the memory of children whose lives on this earth are but for a moment, through photography. I have had the opportunity to work with two families by creating lasting memories for them of their little ones.
After my friend lost her daughter, the reality of this life became more real to me. My appreciation for my own children grew immensly. The knowledge of the gospel helped me find peace as I know that one day Hannah will be reunited with her parents and brothers. After experiencing Hannah's passing and the pain her family felt it opened my eyes to these types of trials that many face all over the world. I have wanted to find some way to ease the burden for families who lose their babies.
When I found out about this organization I knew that my prayers had been answered as it would provide a way for me to serve and share my talents with others. Each time I have been able to take photos for families I remember sweet Hannah and her family. I hope that as I work with these families I can help ease their burdens by giving them a lasting memory of their babies.
