Tough to talk about subject....

No secret that I'm into photography, but I came across something that will touch many families with children in the hospital. Tragically..children that won't leave the hospital. The site I found is "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" which features photos taken by pro photographers of parents who have terminally ill children in the hospital. Sandy Puc' said in a recent blog:

Although charity work has always been a huge part of our studio core, in 2005 I had the honor of capturing the final moments of Maddux Haggard as his loving family said goodbye to their beautiful son. It was from that session, his mother Cheryl and I founded Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. This non-profit was created to ensure that families whose babies will never leave the hospital would have a chance to have professional portraits taken. Our members provide this service and all of the retouched images at no charge. These priceless images become the only link to those brief moments. It has been an honor to see this organization grow from the original four members to now over 7,000 members in 25 countries. We have been blessed to have NAPP members join us to provide retouching services to photographers that need additional help with difficult images. Although this is some of the most difficult work you could ever do, our members know that these images become the most priceless possession these families will ever have.
