1st Year of Life: Healthier Moms & Babies

Earlier this month we had the privilege of photographing these adorable babies (ranging from 10 weeks old to 12 months old) as part of a pro bono photo session for Healthier Moms and Babies in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  Shadowlands Photography has been working with this life-affirming and life-giving group since 2010 and we have loved every moment!




Healthier Moms and Babies is a wonderful perinatal outreach project based out of Saint Joseph Hospital who exist to improve the outcome of pregnancy and reduce infant mortality by providing health education and case management to at-risk families.

Healthier Moms and Babies: Baby Pictures!

When I first became a professional photographer, I remember being overwhelmed with the number of social service providers in our community that were in need of GOOD photography...whether to help promote their cause to philanthropists, to serve the needs of their group or to solicit volunteers.  But rarely do non-profits have the opportunity to hire professional photographers as part of their marketing and fundraising budgets.  If you are a photographer, please consider donating some of your time and energy to someone (or a group of people) who might not otherwise have the chance to enjoy and utilize great pictures.  If you are not handy with the camera, there are SO many other ways you can help organizations and individuals in need!  Get involved!  BE the change you want to see.

Sally Edington of Healthier Moms and Babies reached out to me a few years ago to let me know about some of the needs of her non-profit group.  And for a couple of years now, I have happily been able to provide a picture day for the sweet mommies and kids who benefit from HM&B.  HM&B is a perinatal outreach project based out of Saint Joe Hospital and their goal is to improve the outcome of pregnancy and reduce infant mortality by providing health education and case management to at-risk families.

Just look at the beautiful smiles on the faces of just a few of the wonderful little lives being impacted by the great people at Healthier Moms and Babies!

If you feel like this outreach project is pulling at your heart strings, you can help them make a difference in our Fort Wayne community!
