Volunteer Organizations

Well I haven't been needed do either of these services yet, but recently realized that the hospitals in the area really didn't even know that they existed. I am working to educate them on it, if you know anyone who would be able to spread the word, please do. And for those of you in other areas (I will service from Watertown to Sioux Falls and surrounding areas) who read this, be sure to see if there are any photographers in your area that offer this. Hopefully none of you will need this service for yourselves or your friends or family, but in the event that you do at least now you know it is available. Both of these organization operate with volunteers and are not for profit. The service are completely complimentary to the families.

Any photogs out there. If you think you can handle this type of photography... it is an invaluable service to offer these families and they are so greatful to have it done, so please look into volunteering your services in your area.

Now I lay me down to sleep:
Parent's who are experiencing the loss of an infant (20 weeks gestation) may request the service of a professional photographer to come to the hospital for a private session. They will be provided with a DVD slideshow of the images and all the images on disk for personal reproduction up to 5x7.


American Child Photographers Charity Guild:
