Service Area: Spokane
Hospitals: Deaconess Hospita




About Lauren:
"I am passionate about capturing the beauty and diversity of the world around me and particularly about telling the stories of the people I encounter. I am recently retired from over 40 years of nursing, much of which was as a NICU nurse and most recently (20 years) as a Certified Nurse Midwife serving a broad practice of patients. I believe in the importance of providing professional quality photographs for these families that may not otherwise receive them because of the circumstances of their child's early life experience."

Brantley'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
“Brantley was only in the NICU for 4 days, but the nurses that interacted with him and us were amazing. They genuinely cared for each of these tiny babies. They explained everything to us and didn't mind all of the questions we had. I'm grateful that we didn't have to stay long and were able to bring our baby boy home sooner rather than later.”





Brantley’s photo session was taken and donated by Preemie Prints volunteer photographer, Katie Schneider.

A Note From Katie:
“The 2 month portrait session for the Weiner family took place at a gorgeous local park with gardens in Cincinnati, OH. We got lucky with a break in between storms and were blessed with gorgeous background for their newborn and family portraits. The older kids were so in love with their baby brother and I really enjoyed taking photographs of them holding their baby brother. Brantley has the most beautiful big blue eyes and a sweet round face. The family was a pleasure to photograph and you can really see that they are so grateful for their little baby boy.”
