Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

I recently became a member of the non-profit organization called, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
An organization consisting of over 3,000 volunteer professional photographers across the United States, who, at a families request, comes to your hospital or hospice center to conduct a sensitive and private portrait session of your baby.

The following was written by the Foundation.
"When a baby dies, a world is turned upside down. There is confusion, sadness, fear and uncertainty that cannot be explained. There is sorrow where there should have been joy. During this time, it might be impossible for families to know what they might need in order to heal in the future. This is the place where the 'Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep' Foundation gently provides a helping hand and a healing herat. For families overcome by grief and pain, the idea of photographing their baby may not immediately occur to them. Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babiesare an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits or their lives."
