MRS Photography Charities - Percentage of Each Memory Session to be Donated

Beginning this October, 10% of each Memory Session total (investment and items purchased included) will be donated to either:

1. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS)

or

2. National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS)

When you book your session, you will have the opportunity to select the organization that the donation will be provided to.

Please feel free to visit their websites to learn more about their missions.

I accidentally came across NILMDTS' website a few months ago. Their mission amazed me and moved me to tears. They help honor babies who did not have a chance to bless this earth with their beautiful existence.

Many times I have contemplated on becoming a photographer with them. I am torn between emotion and wanting to help. I have been in the NICU and PICU and watched babies battling for their lives. I have not, however, experienced the death of an infant. The thought saddens me. I never think it is fair when a child is taken away prematurely.

Yet, I want to try to put my own feelings aside and be there for families that are not able to cherish the simple things like their infant opening their eyes every morning.

The pain from Cody's own heart surgery and hospitalization, I think, is still too fresh in my heart and makes it more difficult to take on this task. Hopefully, in the near future, I will be able to find in my own healing the ability to help others heal and honor their babies.
