Meet Ellery! A 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

“We were very lucky that Ellery just had to continue to grow while in the NICU. She was on room air for a while but finally out grew that. She did come home on an apnea monitor and was taken off after two months. She was in the NICU for 97 days.

It's a rough journey, with ups and downs. We celebrated every little milestone. Three months is a long time; I was there every day. Then that wonderful day came and we brought home our amazing little girl Ellery. It may seem like that day will never come but oh what a joyous day it was.”

Ellery’s photo session was taken and donated by Preemie Prints volunteer photographer, Cassandra Chang.

A Note From Cassandra:
"I had the pleasure of meeting Ellery and her sweet family for their "Graduation" session. Ellery came early at 27 weeks weighing a whopping 2 pounds! This little lady reserved smiles for her big sis and you could tell they will have a special bond as they grow."
