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

“Sophia Marie born at 30 weeks weighing 2lbs 4oz 13.25 inches long. I was sent to the hospital for high blood pressure and within 12 hours of arriving she was delivered via emergency c section. My blood platelets had dripped and my liver was failing. It was a very traumatic 24 hours

I was really nervous to walk the preemie journey. The best advise I got was trust your instinct and be open with those caring for your baby. You are there biggest advocate during this scary time. Chin up and know this journey will end!”

A Note From Kara:

"Today was my first volunteer Preemie Prints session. I had so much fun with little Sophia. She is such a beautiful, happy baby. I instantly fell in love with her adorable, bright blue eyes. Her photos turned out so very beautiful."
