Lovable Levi'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

“My son Levi was born 8/17/14 at 28 weeks. He weighed 2 lbs 14.9 oz. He is such a sweet baby and has been fighting from the beginning. He is my super hero.

When my son was born I felt an extreme disconnect; that wasn’t my son. My son was suppose to be healthy and inside me. Instead I was looking at this foreign being with tubes coming from every part of him. I was mad, confused, and numb. It’s okay to be mad. This isn’t fair. You didn’t get the typical labor experience. But I can promise any NICU family this - As you watch your baby grow and grow there is no way anyway can deny that there is a God. You see your baby struggle and conquer and he/she builds you. Your baby will make you wanna be strong. You will get through this. And you will be a stronger person because of it.”

A Note From Christina:

“Baby Levi's photo shoot went really well! The parents had a really good idea of what they wanted, and Levi was such a champ! It took about an hour and 15 minutes to take all the pictures that I wanted and that the parents wanted but I am very happy with the results.  I had such a tough time picking my favorite 5 for the sneak peaks.”
