Please say hello to Ms A, a little girl who arrived at term much loved by her parents and extended family. I was with them for Now I Lay Me Down to sleep on Tuesday as they said their farewells to their brave little fighter, standing in a protective circle as life support was withdrawn....
How incredibly sad. This is a beautiful gift you have given to this family. 
You did a beautiful job! So saddened for this family.
What can I say… this is heart breaking. I know how important Now I lay Me Down to Sleep is. Bless you for doing this, and bless this family.

Oh how sad, and what an amazing photo. If I ever had the tragic misfortune to lose my baby I would want you to be there for this. These families are so blessed by the precious memories you help them to capture.
What a precious memory you’ve given them. I pray for their healing and strength.
Jane, since seeing this photo on your blog this family has been brought to mind on several occasions. What a beautiful picture and memory.

Danielle, thank you so much for coming to the blog to comment. I have been thinking of Ella every day lately, and of Yo and Chris as well. I am glad that this family has you in their lives, thinking about them and supporting them.
Every little baby whom I photograph is so precious in my memory, and it is indeed an honour to memorialize them for their sad and loving families.
What a heartbreaking situation…and a beautiful capture for the family. What wonderful work you do!
Dear Jane: I treasure and will always be grateful for the moments you captured of Ella with me, with my mom, with our nurses and especially with Chris. You are such a kind, talented person and the work that you do is priceless for those of us who have lost our angels. Ella was truly blessed to have you immortalise her forever. With love always, Yolaine
Yolaine, you are more than welcome. I only wish we could have met under happier circumstances. Please know that I treasure my moments with your lovely daughter. You and Chris, your mom and your family and friends will be in my thoughts and good wishes forever. I hope the images we made bring you some small measure of peace over the coming years.

HI jane
Just updating myself on your updates.
I see you have had a full week, sadly. NILMDTS, i have said a millions times is such a great charity and had no idea it was so active. I guess that’s what spread the word is about and believe me i do spread the word about it. I count myself very very lucky to have a not only beautiful but above all a healthy baby. My heart goes out to all the families that lose the little loves of their lives and as you for helping as much as you can karma is going to kiss you real hard! That goodness for people like you Jane.
chrissy
(hugs) to all the families
and to you Jane!
My heart goes out to each family. No one should experience the loss of a child. What an amazing gift you have given.
I’m so thankful for NILMITS photographers!
The stories of these families are so touching. I wish them comfort.
Such important work you are doing Jane.
