An emotionally tough photo assignment

Imagine photographing the only moments a person has to live.

Here's a story in which photographers like you all might be interested: http://www.jordannews.com/node/2175 [0]. It's about an organization that shoots photos of critically ill or stillborn babies.

I thought the story was a great piece of journalism -- props to the Shakopee Valley News -- and the photos were touching. Below, I've attached a couple others that Amy Zellmer submitted to our sister paper.

I can't imagine taking these photos myself, just because I think it'd be too emotional for me. Maybe you could. Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, a non-profit organization, is looking for photogs to volunteer. Musicians who are able to donate music for slideshow presentations or those willing to donate baby items, such as bonnets or booties, are also needed.

For more information, call Amy Zellmer at 952-233-2169 or Heather Lombardo at 651-329-5363.
