Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

Meet Grace.

She is 3 months old, (the youngest of 7 children) has Tristomy 13, and probably won't live to see the age of 1.

Her mother, Sheryl, who homeschools all her children, met me through the NILMDTS (Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep) organization.

The Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) administers a network of more than 5,000 volunteer photographers in the United States and nineteen international countries. At a family's request, a NILMDTS affiliated photographer will come to your hospital or hospice location and conduct a sensitive and private portrait session. The portraits are then professionally retouched and presented to the families on an archival DVD or CD that can be used to print portraits of their cherished baby. The entire network of affiliated professional photographers graciously donate their time and talents to the families at no cost. Donations to this organizations are greatly needed and appreciated!
