Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

To introduce remembrance photography to parents experiencing the loss of a baby with the free gift of professional portraiture.

Activities or mission (Part I)

See Schedule O.To introduce remembrance photography to parents experiencing the loss of a baby with the free gift of professional portraiture.

  • See Schedule O.Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS) offers the gift of healing, hope and honor to parents experiencing the death of a baby through the overwhelming power of remembrance portraits. Professional-level photographers volunteer their time to capture the only moments parents spend with their babies and gift the beautiful heirloom portraits free of charge. The NILMDTS Medical Program provides training for medical personnel to also capture priceless images of the baby, and the NILMDTS digital retouch artist gently retouches the images for the heirloom quality look. These priceless images serve as an important step in the healing recovery for bereaved families. NILMDTS remembrance photography validates the existence and presence of these precious babies by honoring their legacy. NILMDTS recruits, trains and mobilizes professional quality photographers around the world. Through NILMDTS, medical personnel are given a meaningful option to offer bereaved parents by creating remembrance portraiture for their babies. During the year, 4,037 sessions were provided by professional photographers. Through further engagement in the organization, such as the NILMDTS Remembrance Walk and online support, families become a part of a compassionate and supportive community. Parents gain a sense of inclusiveness, alleviating the alienation and perception of being alone in their pregnancy or infant loss journey.
