NILMDTS - Annual Fund Drive

With the Month of October being recognized as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, The Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation holds itsAnnual Fund Drive for six weeks starting in mid-September and ending in October.

President Ronald Reagan enacted Proclamation 5890 in October of 1988 to recognize that each year, approximately a million pregnancies in the United States alone end in miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a newborn child. Reagan stated, "A national observance offers us the opportunity to increase our understanding of the great tragedy involved in the deaths of unborn or newborn babies. It also enables us to consider how, as individuals and communities, we can meet the needs of bereaved parents and family members... " To read the full Proclamation signed by Reagan, CLICK HERE.

Dreads and Poker

My good friend showing off her dreadlocks plus her poker skills.  I edited these pictures with none other than Bob Marley's Songs of Freedom album...specifically "Bad Card".  Enjoy 

Vincent+Nyla

Here are some cute photos of little Vincent and Nyla.  I didn't have to scout any locations, we decided to shoot in the area where they are most comfortable in...their Backyard.  If you look closely you'll be able to spot their younger sibling in the pictures as well.  I edited these pictures while playing the movie "Drumline" as I thought the music and the colours matched their energy!!!  Enjoy.
