Sweet Jenna'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. 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
“My little miracle Jenna was born at 32 weeks weighing 4 pounds and 18 inches long. She spent 2.5 weeks in the NICU and is finally home now!
My husband and I have a 3 year old and now a 3 week old at home! We struggled for years getting pregnant with our little girl. After struggling through fertility treatments we finally got pregnant. Unfortunately I had placenta previa and started hemorrhaging at 28 weeks then again at 31 weeks. I was taken for an emergent C-section at 32 weeks. It was the scariest thing I have ever been through. Jenna was born at 32 weeks and one day. We spent 2.5 weeks in the NICU. It was a stressful, scary, amazing journey. I learned that it was very important to take all the help and support you can get!”



A Note From Kate:

"I was so excited to spend the morning with Jenna and her family. She clearly adores her mama, daddy, and big brother! The more funny noises her brother made, the more she smiled. And those eyes....they are gorgeous and speak volumes. Her journey is so very similar to my son's, it was only fitting that she be the subject of my very first Preemie Prints shoot."
