Picture of a stillborn baby

Why take a picture?

Pictures help you remember the baby and help you keep you in reality about the death

Pictures show what the baby looked like so you can show others so you don't have to rely on memory.

A picture may be the only thing you leave the hospital with.

Remember you can always get the photo touched up to remove unwanted hospital equipment, etc.

What to take pictures of?

Close-ups of the baby’s face (the part of your baby you may want to remember the most)

Close-ups of fingers, hands, feet, toes (each baby has something very special worth to be valued)

Many parents take photos of the full, unclothed baby so that they can recall that their baby's body was perfect.

Take a few shots of each pose, so you will have some to choose from

Remember what you see is what you get. Do not be afraid to get closer!!

How to take pictures?

Place the baby in normal positions. Try to look right into the babies face. You may want to sit the baby up with pillows or blankets. You may want to stand on a chair and take some pictures from above to a good picture. Try to use a camera with a zoom.

NEVER send the baby picture of stillborn out to be developed as this can take a long time and you run the risk of the films being lost. Chose preferably a one-hour photo lab.
