THIS BUSINESS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN THE MAKING.
Even though it was a decision that only took a day. On July 24, 2008, Our son Cylas was born. Weighing in at just 2 pounds and 12 inches long, we didn't know at the time, but he would only grace us with his presence for a matter of about three hours. During what were the most difficult moments of our lives, a wonderful photographer came in from Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep and made memories for our family of our precious angel.
IT WAS THEN, IN THAT MOMENT, THAT I TRULY REALIZED THE VALUE OF A PORTRAIT
It helped heal some of the wounds and is a beautiful and constant reminder that life is precious and can be taken at any time. This was also when our business came to be. We wanted to help other families who wouldn't be able to take their beautiful babies home. We wanted to make portraits for these families that they could cherish for generations. It was because of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep that we have a record that our son lived and we can tell his story through the beautiful portraits that were made for us. We knew the next steps, make a business based on recording precious moments for people that they could pass down from generation to generation because you will never fully understand the value of a portrait until that is all you have left.
If you are ready to invest in your family, you want to hire the best photographers to capture your special moments, no matter what they are. Call us, message or text us and we would be happy to sit down with you and plan your memory making session!
