Kenzie & Kylie's 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. 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 heal and remember how strong 
they were in overcoming their NICU journey together.

A NICU STORY | THOUGHTS FROM MOM
“Hey there! I have 25 week twins, they were born January 16. Kenzie weighed 1lb 9oz and Kylie weighed 1lb 14oz. They are truly miracle babies! I had twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), which made me deliver early.

They had the normal preemie issues like bradycardia and desats but other than that we had no issues, Thank God! The power of prayer is truly AMAZING. My girls are healthy 7 month olds now and I am so blessed for that! My advice for NICU parents would be, hang in there, I know there doesn't seem like there's light at the end of this dark tunnel. But there is! It seems as if it takes forever to get home and healthy but when you do, the NICU will be just a distant memory as you watch your precious miracle grow.”

A Note From Bekki:
“Kenzie and Kylie are getting ready to celebrate their first Halloween. They both loved the pumpkins their mom brought and enjoyed the grass! They both have very different personality's and it showed through our session. Amazing, Strong, Healthy little girls surrounded by love.”

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. 

This was a Preemie Prints NICU graduate photography session that took place near Monroe, NC.

We're thankful to the family for sharing their story & memories in support of other NICU families.
