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 ARTHUR, BAILEY, AND CLAYTON'S FAMILY
We were surprised by an early arrival of our triplet boys. Luckily they were born healthy at 32 weeks and the NICU team was wonderful at calming us down and easing our fears of having three premature babies. My best advice for moms and dads who are going through the NICU journey is to definitely ask your doctors and nurses questions and the clarification of anything that you don't understand. They're more than willing to help you and sometimes the acronyms get a little confusing and overwhelming but, they're your babies. Ask if you don't understand what's going on. At the end of the day, everyone wants what's best for your babies.
Arthur, Bailey, and Clayton's photo session was taken and donated by Preemie Prints volunteer photographer, Jennifer Sternal-Johnson.
A Note From Jen:
When these little guys visited my studio, I expected absolute chaos--instead, we got 3 babies who slept through most of the session! So lucky!

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 form 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 1000 NICU family sessions.
This was a Preemie Prints NICU graduate session that took place near Rochester NY.
We're thankful to the family for sharing their story & memories in support of other NICU families.
