Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

When the co-founder Cheryl Haggard lost her son in February of 2005, she knew that her family’s healing was going to come by remembering the details about Maddux, not by forgetting that he existed.  Her husband contacted a local photographer and eventual co-founder Sandy Puc’ and requested her services in helping to memorialize young Maddux.  Over time, memories fade, but these cherished photographs will last for generations and help show the love that was shared between this young boy and his family, no matter how brief his stay on Earth was.

From these beginnings, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep was born.  Today, the organization encompasses nearly 2,000 photographers worldwide who volunteer their services by creating sensitive images that will last a lifetime. 

We believe the images of these precious children serve as an important step in the healing process and that this opportunity should be available to all in need regardless of socio-economic status.  To this end, our entire network of professional photographers graciously donates their time and talents to this noble service. 

If you were to assess a dollar value to each session, including the cost of travel to and from the location, execution of the onsite photo shoot, retouching of images, a DVD with a musical slide show and a CD with high-resolution images, it would equal approximately $1,500.  Our photographers donate over $5 million of photography services each year.
