About Kate:
"In December 2008, my life changed forever when my first child, Ryan, was born at 32 week, 6 days. As he grew, so did my interest in photography. I often wish we had more pictures of those first weeks and look forward to providing fellow preemie families with lasting memories."

Preemie Prints is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization sharing hope with NICU families through a variety of support programs. One of those programs is the gift of NICU photography and preemie photography. NICU families from across the US can request a no-charge photography session by a Preemie Prints volunteer. The family request from can be found on the right side of our website. These sessions are free of charge and for any NICU family, regardless of time spent in the NICU. The NICU photo shoot can take place inside the NICU or after baby is discharged and at home until their 1st birthday. Facing time in a NICU with a premature or critically ill baby is an extremely difficult time for families. Preemie Prints has a mission to share hope by letting families know they are not alone. Preemie Prints currently has over 100 volunteers nationwide. We are always looking for more volunteers to share in our mission! If you are interested, please email sherri @ preemieprints.org and visit our website at www.preemieprints.org. To date Preemie Prints and our volunteers have gifted over 400 NICU family sessions.
Kate did a shoot for us shortly after my preemie baby girl, Molly, had her second brain surgery. Kate was kind, warm, and extremely sincere and loving with our sweet girl. She genuinely could relate to my emotions and THAT meant a lot. Love her and her work.
