Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep is a non-profit organization that provides a helping hand and a healing heart for families overcome by the grief and pain of losing their newborn child. While the idea of photographing their baby may not immediately occur to them, offering a gentle, compassionate photography service done in a sensitive manner is the heart and soul of the organization.

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. At a family's request, a NILMDTS Affiliated Photographer will go to a 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.

We at Wanamaker Photography may not be emotionally ready to accept such incredible responsibility, but we feel the need to contribute to this organization any way we can.

We decided to label May 2008 as "Mother's Month" in recognition of all the moms that have children and for those who have suffered the loss of a child. We had such an incredible response that for any Maternity, Newborn or Young Child portrait session booked in 2008, we will donate $50 to the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation, in your name, to help them continue this wonderful service.

Each session lasts nearly two hours, produces a number of memorable images for you to choose from and can take place right in the comfortable setting of your own home. Booking your session is as easy as calling us toll free at 1-866-832-4001.
