Photographing Babies’ Deaths and Seeing Life –TODAYonline

The organisation exists to give bereaved families the gift of professional heirloom portraits of their babies to remember them by. As a photographer, I subscribe to the practice of capturing the moment, saving memories to savour again. When adults pass on, we often have a lifetime of photos of and with them; but with babies, we may only have those few hours of pictures, if at all.

Joan Leong is a volunteer photographer for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, an organization that offers free professional portraiture to parents dealing with the loss of a baby.
