Angel

[Andrea Hillis]

Hi,

My name is Andrea H., and am an affiliate photographer with NILMDTS. I want to share my experience.

This is Angel, he is a precious baby boy. He was sent home from the hospital with Hospice care. Angel had anencephaly.

I traveled to their home to photograph Angel with his family. They are such a welcoming and friendly family, and so gracious to share their little boy with me. There was somewhat of a language barrier, but we worked through that.

Their oldest son was my "assistant", he told me all of the pictures that we wanted of he and his little brother, brought out his favorite toys to include in his pictures. He was a "ham".

All I can say, is that my life is forever changed from my experiences with NILMDTS. I feel very honored to part of such a great organization, and have met wonderful people as a result.

I want to thank the Sanchez family for allowing me to be a part of their lives, no matter how brief it was.

Andrea H.

I am not a photographer, but I recently had to contact one for my grandson. I just wanted you all to know how wonderful you all are in doing this for our families. I contacted a photographer in our area from your list. Unfortunately she was going out of town and could not take Aidon's pictures but she so wanted to help us that she told us exactly how to do it and what settings to use, etc. She was sad that she couldn't help us and that meant as much to us as if she would have been there. I know she would have done it if she would have been in town but she did help and we got some wonderful pictures of our Angel. You are all special people to give your time and energy to the parents of these angels and god bless you all.
