I have been super-swamped in the last few weeks… wedding are in full swing… kids and babies are in their prime time for their portraits, and we all are thinking about upcoming vacations and needed time off. So, if you’re waiting to see some recent work on the blog…. please keep on checking in on the blog – I’m getting there!
First, I’m proud to announce two new affiliations that Joe Rumore Photographer is now associated with; Photographik.org and Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation.
Photographik is the elite photographers network. It lists only the most talented and accomplished wedding and portrait photographers and allows potential clients to search for the best photographers in the business.
The reason I’m so proud is that only elite wedding and portrait photographers are listed on the site. Membership is exclusive and granted only to those photographers who demonstrate excellence in the fields of wedding and portrait photography.
The second, and probably most important news I want to tell you about is my affliation with the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS). I first heard about this non-profit organization at the WPPI Convention in Las Vegas last year. After much careful consideration, I figured that one of the best ways for me as a photographer to give back, is to give the gift of lasting images to parents who deserve it the most.
The Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation is an incredible organization of volunteer photographers dedicated to providing beautiful and meaningful images for families faced with the loss of an infant. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives.
At a family’s request, a NILMDTS Affiliated Photographer will come to your hospital or hospice location and conduct a sensitive and private portrait session. The portraits are then professionally retouched and presented to the families on an archival DVD or CD that can be used to print portraits of their cherished baby. The entire service is provided at no cost to the family.
