Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

As many of you know, Laura and I are expecting our first son within just a few weeks!  We of course are so excited and thrilled to be new parents, sharing our lives with our young William Asher Spencer.  We really love kiddos, and are pumped to finally have a child of our own.

Last month, we attended a photography conference in Nashville, TN.  While there, we were introduced to a wonderful opportunity that just pulls at my heartstrings, especially as we are readying to become new parents.  After giving it some consideration, this week, Laura and I joined this really, really great charity, and I wanted to let you all know about it.   Its called ‘Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep‘, named after a simple bedtime prayer, and is a charity that serves families that are suffering through pregnancy and infant loss with the gift of free, professional portraiture. We can honestly think of no better way to use our talents should the need arise for parents of such tragic occurrences.

In the future, we’ll be involved with offering fundraiser activities through our studio for the benefit of the organization.  If you’re interested in making a donation,Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, IRS EIN# 77-0656322.   All proceeds go directly into the operation of this organization to help parents who are experiencing an early infant loss.   Furthermore, for anyone who makes a $75 contribution, contact us with a copy of your receipt and we’ll give you a $100 gift certificate good for  any session at Firelight Studios.
