Just click on the banner to learn how you can be more involved with NILMDTS.
There are hundreds of projects, programs and non-profits in the photography sector. While you have to decide which one is best for you, there are few that give you a chance to use your skill set so poignantly as Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.

Last year's guest post from Baby Boy Christopher's mother, born still, last June pretty much says it all. Vicki Zoller, followed up with her own guest post a few days later. Throughout each of their posts, you can't help but feel the appreciation for being brought together to preserve an incredibly sad, but important and powerful moment in Baby Boy Christopher's family.

This month is recruitment month for NILMDTS and they need your help and your skill set. This special video really says it all.
I couldn't more proud to be an ambassador for NILMDTS, but my expertise is in marketing, not as a photographer. That's where you come in...please click on the banner above and learn how you can help NILMDTS expand their reach and help more families in such desperate need of support.

I have a great interest in photography, I was Sears Portrait Studio Manager for 4 years but I don't currently have a camera. Is there any other volunteer opportunities for support to the photographer

I would be honored to help in any way that I can. We live in Minnesota. I own HME Photography (website is in progress, but I'm on facebook). My husband & I lost our son Noah to a stillborn 9 1/2 years ago at 35 weeks. I would have loved pictures like these.

I'm. in Austin Texas and have been interested in NILMDTS for several months- what a beautiful organization. I'm an amateur photographer but pretty handy with a sewing machine and I make little girl dresses and bonnets.
