When a baby dies, the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart to families overcome by grief and pain. NILMDTS administer a network of nearly 3,000 volunteer professional photographers, including 15 in Connecticut. At a family's request, a NILMDTS Affiliated Photographer will come to your hospital and conduct a sensitive and private portrait session. The portraits are then professionally retouched and presented to the family on an archival DVD or CD that can be used to print portraits of their cherished baby. These services are offered at no cost and allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives.
