Request a Photography Session

If you or someone in your family is facing a terminal diagnosis or life-limiting illness, we are so sorry, and we are also really glad you found Love Not Lost. We are here to offer a way to celebrate life and preserve memories together.

We offer free portrait sessions to anyone facing a terminal diagnosis of any kind, as well as any stage 4 or metastatic cancer diagnosis, or Alzheimer's. We photograph all ages (even offering maternity sessions for moms who have a baby with a life-threatening diagnosis) and just started accepting applications from families across the country. *We get asked about stage 1-3 cancers, but at this time, we do not serve those individuals with the hopes that they will be treated and have a long and healthy life. The odds for stage 4/metastatic cancers are less favorable and we want to give them photos just in case.

Although we are working to onboard photographers across the United States as quickly as possible, we want to let you know we are still in the early growth stages and may not have a photographer in your area just yet. Please go ahead and apply and know that we will work hard to find a trained photographer who can serve your family as soon as possible.


To request a free portrait session with one of our trained LNL Photographers, there are three easy steps you need to take:

Sign Up In The Love Well Community

You’ll need to create a free profile within our Love Well Community so you have access to the application.

Apply For Your Love Not Lost Session

This is where you’ll help us learn about your current reality so we can provide the best experience for you.

Connect With Your LNL Photographer

Once your application is done, we will do our best to find a LNL photographer who will call you to schedule your session. 


We recognize this can be a challenging season to invite photographers into your life, and we are honored by the opportunity to enter into this moment with you. We look forward to connecting with you and your loved ones, creating a memorable experience with priceless photos that you’ll be able to have forever.

What You Can Expect

We'll do our best to answer all of your questions in the emails and phone call(s) leading up to your session. During the portrait session, you can relax and enjoy your time together knowing you'll have beautiful images that capture your love, life, and authentic relationships. Our photographers are professionals, so no matter the situation, we can capture meaningful photos that are worth remembering.

After the session, we work quickly to edit the pictures and then deliver the gallery of photos with all the great moments. We’ll also provide tangible prints from your session that you can sit with and enjoy as they support you in the days to come.

As a part of our online community, we invite you to share your story on our “story” tab to connect with others if you’d like to do that.
