Joshua's Preemie Prints NICU Grad Photo Shoot

Please enjoy Preemie Prints' families inspirational story & photos. Consider supporting our mission to share hope with families who have a baby born prematurely or critically ill. Preemie Prints support programs include NICU photography and NICU graduate photography (the gift of photography at no charge for a NICU family), the gift of handmade items, group events and meetings, information, and prayer support. Our mission is to connect parents and let them know they are not alone. We thank our supporters, Preemie Prints volunteers, and donors for allowing us to continue touching the lives of NICU, preemie, and angel families.

We pray these special memories from Preemie Prints 
will help families remember how strong 
they were in overcoming their NICU journey together.

A NICU STORY | THOUGHTS FROM MOM

"Joshua Ryan was born November 8 at 28 weeks of my pregnancy. He was 2 lbs 1 oz at birth. Our NICU journey was 68 days long and full of both good and bad experiences and emotions. Joshua could not eat on his own at first. He had to have an NG tube to eat. When he was about 6 weeks old. I was able to start breastfeeding. He also had to have a blood transfusion due to his anemia. Joshua was on oxygen from birth until he was 3 1/2 months old. He came home on oxygen and a brady/apnea monitor."

A note from Tammy:

"What a joy it was to meet Joshua and his sweet mama Karen! SO thankful to be able to give them a few sweet memories to look back on through the years. Joshua was a little sleepy during the shoot but we made it work and he rocked his shoot! His story is of course amazing and heartwarming, and it's so nice to know he is doing so well!"
