The BBC reported today on a group from Colorado, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. The group organizes photographers to take very artistic and tasteful pictures of families and infant children either terminally ill or recently passed.
The founders say it is a huge aid in helping families cope with the loss of their child.

For Parents experiencing an infant loss, (as early as 20 weeks gestation) we can provide you with these heirloom memories of your precious baby. At your request, we will have a professional photographer come to your hospital location for a private and sensitive photography session. You will be provided with a DVD of your baby set to a meaningful melody and the CD file of all photographs taken that you can personally reproduce up to a 5X7 size. (please note: Each photographers offer varies location to location. Check listing photographer for what he/she can provide.)
NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. There are no fees for this service.
