A Message to Newly Bereaved Parents
We extend our deepest condolences to you and your family during this incredibly difficult time. The loss of an infant is immeasurable, and words cannot adequately express our sorrow. We are here to share in your pain, aid you in your healing, bring hope to your future, and honor your precious baby.
We understand that the thought of taking photographs might feel overwhelming right now. However, many parents who have experienced similar losses find comfort in having these precious memories. You don’t have to look at them immediately, but they can be a source of solace in the future when you are ready.
You cannot take this moment back.
“We hesitated at first because we wanted all the time we could have uninterrupted. We realized though that we would have the photos for a life time. I was so glad we decided to get them done. The photographers were so amazing and gave us the time we needed as we had to stop a few times.”

Remembrance photography can be a powerful tool in the healing journey after the loss of an infant. These photographs capture the love and bond shared between a parent and their precious baby, creating lasting memories that will be cherished for generations.
Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep is dedicated to supporting families experiencing early infant loss. We connect families with volunteer photographers who generously donate their time and talent to create beautiful infant remembrance portraits.
To find a photographer near you, please visit our Find a Photographer page. We strive to fulfill all requests, but our volunteers do not have guaranteed availability.
“I look at the photos of our daughter everyday and every day I am thankful for the work NILMDTS did for us. The work is absolutely priceless to us.”
