Adorable Cora's NICU Grad Photo Shoot

Please enjoy our inspirational photos and consider supporting our mission to share hope with families who have a baby born prematurely or critically ill. Our programs include an online support group, the gift of photography, group events and meetings, information, and email support. Our mission is to connect parents and let them know they are not alone. We thank our supporters, volunteers, and donors for allowing us to touch the lives of NICU, preemie, and angel families. 

We pray these special memories will help the parents to remember how strong they were in overcoming a crisis situation.


A note from Mom and Dad:
"Cora was born at 27 weeks weighing 2 pounds 5 ounces. Cora has had a very strong personality and has taught me and her dady so much and taught us to have stronger faith and to laugh as often as possible. She loves to smile, and as her nurses called her, she is very sassy! She is such a fighter. She contracted pneumonia the day she was supposed to come home which kept her in the hospital longer and fighting once again for her life, but once again she proved to her dad and myself that miracles to happen!"

Volunteer Photographer:

A note from Lindsey:
"The session with Cora was so precious. Little Cora has such a calming spirit. She was happy to do anything we asked her, even if she never smiled. I felt like she was just perfectly content with her sweet life. And there is something, overwhelmingly contagious about that. I left her session much more content with all the things I have, specifically the super awesome people like her parents that I got to meet. Cora was too cool for school, too. She needed her shades on just to blow bubbles. And we happily obliged. :)"
