Our Mission

Soulumination celebrates life through photography.

We serve children 18 and under facing life -conditions and parents facing life-threatening conditions with children 18 and under. Families receive a professional photography session and custom legacy photo gifts, free of charge. 

Our photographs and treasured keepsakes are an enduring, beautiful record of the child or parent. 

Our History

Founder Lynette Huffman Johnson began photographing families and children in 1984, shortly after the birth of her first daughter. In 1996 her sister-in-law asked her to take a different kind of picture: a picture of her baby niece, Lainie, who did not survive.  Another close friend’s baby had died over two decades prior, and it was the memory of these two children, Lainie and Janus, that inspired Lynette to form Soulumination.

Since its inception as a 501(c)(3) non-profit public organization in 2005, Soulumination has grown to over 50 professional photographers who volunteer their time and talent, and over 40 community volunteers who help our organization run.

We work with hospitals, other nonprofits and organizations, and directly with families. Social workers, doctors, nurses, friends, and family members can all refer our services.
