Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.......

This morning The Today Show aired an interview with a very special family and photographer. The photographer, Jessica Persons is one of over 3,000 affiliated volunteers with the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep organization. Please take a moment to view the video of this mornings interview.

What is NILMDTS?

The Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart. 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 babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives.

The Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) administers a network of nearly 3,000 volunteer professional photographers in the United States and eight International countries.

This is a wonderful organization and I am proud to be a part of it. Giving parents something as simple as a photograph to help them remember their last moments with their child is an amazing gift. Please take a moment to visit their site, or even help spread the word about this group.

Wow! I hadn't seen this. I'm so glad I checked your blog today and that you linked this story. I'm very familiar with NILMDTS from ILP and it is nice to see it mentioned to non-photographers on the morning show.
