Meet our Trustees
Nicky Heppenstall
Co-Founder, Trustee, and Volunteer Photographer
Nicky is married to an engineer, Mark, and they live in Derbyshire. They have two grown up children, Oliver and Jodie. Their stillborn daughter Kim remains part of the family, and is the reason for Nicky’s evident passion for Remembrance Photography.
A keen photographer since her teens, Nicky decided to turn professional after undertaking training with studio lighting and achieving a Distinction with the Royal Photographic Society. After 8 successful years running her business part time, Nicky has now retired from professional photography, but will never give up taking photographs.
She has had previous experience volunteering for national charities at a local level, mainly with regard to bereavement support following the loss of a baby, and is determined to see Remembrance Photography offered as a choice to parents as widely as possible across the UK.
Anton Rawlinson
Trustee and Volunteer Photographer
Based in Derby, Anton recently left Rolls-Royce after 32 years as a cooling design engineer and Technical Leader for Turbine Cooling. His process and strategy development work in this role provides some useful experience for the charity.
Anton also is a partner in a local photography business, focusing mainly on anything people related. Along with partner Andy, Anton has supported a number of local charities through their event photography but it is Remember My Baby to which Anton is looking to devote more of his newly acquired free time to over the next few years.
Anton is married to Sarah and together have two children, Holly and Max, both now grown up and working. When not photographing, Anton enjoys triathlons and has recently converted a van to a camper in which he and Sarah intend to do a lot more travelling both here in the UK and around Europe.
Anton lost a nephew James at birth a number of years ago and recognises the value that remembrance photography has for families. Having recognised one of the charity’s co-founders at a photography event as the wife of a work colleague, Anton joined the charity as a volunteer photographer in 2017 and has completed over 100 sessions. He is keen to see the charity grow to its full potential and to realise the vision of the founders to make professional quality photography available to all bereaved families in the UK
Sally Spencer
Trustee
Sally lives in Derby and is first and foremost a wife to her fantastic and supportive husband, as well as a mum to four grown-up children, each of whom now have familie of their own. She loves spending time with her family, even though they are spread across the country, from Plymouth to Wetherby.
Sally spent her working career as an Intensive Care Nurse within the NHS. She worked her way up to Senior Sister, running a 16-bedded unit for 12 years before leaving the clinical setting. It was a challenging career, with many highs, including the immense satisfaction of helping people through some of the most difficult times in their lives. There were also profound lows when, despite every effort to save a life, the outcome was not what everyone had hoped for.
Bereavement has therefore been a significant part of Sally's professional life, particularly during the several years she ran the bereavement follow-up service for the unit. She then moved into clinical governance for the final five years of her career before retiring in 2022.
Sally met Nicky, one of the co-founders of Remember My Baby (RMB), in 2020. She initially began helping with small tasks and, through this, learned more about the incredible work carried out by the charity. Inspired by RMB's purpose and the difference it makes to families experiencing the loss of a baby, Sally was delighted to become a Trustee of this wonderful charity.
Since retiring, Sally has enjoyed embracing new experiences, including volunteering for the National Trust. Her role has enabled her to maintain social connections with both the public and staff, learn more about the history of the beautiful Kedleston Hall, and explore her creative side through her work in the second-hand bookshop.
Sally is looking forward to bringing her experience, compassion and enthusiasm to her role with RMB and is sure that being part of the charity will be just as inspiring and rewarding.

Trustee
Tilda is a registered psychologist with a background in educational psychology, counselling, employment support and community work. Alongside her professional experience, she also has lived experience of baby loss, following the death of her daughter, Deborah, in 2019.
Remember My Baby holds a very special place in her heart. Having experienced baby loss herself, she understands how precious photographs can become when memories are all that families have left to hold onto.
She is also a passionate photographer and deeply appreciates the power of images to preserve memories, tell stories and provide comfort during some of life's most difficult times.
As a Trustee, she hopes to contribute to fundraising, partnership development and raising awareness, helping to ensure that more families experiencing baby loss can access the precious gift of remembrance photography.
Charlotte Johns
Trustee and Session Co-Ordinator
Based in Essex, Charlotte has worked as a primary school teacher for the last 12 years. She is a mum to two daughters - one in her arms and one in her heart, and has been a part of the RMB team since March 2025, when she first joined RMB as a Session Co-ordinator.
In May 2026, Charlotte expanded her commitment by joining the RMB Board of Trustees. Alongside her Trustee role, she acts as a volunteer Session Co-ordinator, working behind the scenes to connect hospitals, midwives, and volunteer photographers so that as many families as possible can benefit from the unique services that RMB provides.
Charlotte knows exactly how much these moments matter from her own personal experience. Her daughter, Jessica, was sadly stillborn in 2019. Following her loss, Charlotte received her own RMB remembrance photographs, which remain some of her most treasured possessions. The profound comfort those images brought her sparked a desire to help other families capture irreplaceable memories of their babies. Charlotte holds Jessica very close to her heart in everything she does, and her daughter remains the beautiful reason she dedicates herself to supporting the RMB community.
