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
“Being a preemie myself, born at 28 weeks 2lbs 8 oz, I never even imagined having a preemie baby. My son, Landon beat me born at 26 weeks 2 lbs 1 oz. Landon spent 109 days in the NICU and I went every single day to spend time with him and to hold him. We shared having severe reflux issues and grade 3 brain bleeds. I had a PDA surgery and luckily he did not, but the pediatric surgeon who performed my surgery 30 years ago will be doing his hernia repair and circumcision. We've been home for 1 month and are so happy to finally have our baby boy home!”

Landon’s photo session was taken and donated by Preemie Prints volunteer photographer, Rita Davis.
A Note From Rita:
"This was the NICU graduation photoshoot for the Seeberger Family and their first family photo! Landon was in the Nicu for 107 days; and Landon’s mom, Gloria did a excellent job documenting Landon’s journey by creating an album with 107 pictures (one picture of each day that he spent in the NICU). What was missing in this album was their family portrait, which we accomplished during this session. Congratulations on such a beautiful family! I am very thankful for having had the pleasure to photograph your family."

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 600 NICU family sessions.
This was a Preemie Prints NICU graduate photography session that took place near Houston, TX.
We're thankful to the family for sharing their story & memories in support of other NICU families.
