Hazel's 1 Year Old NICU Graduate Session!

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 HAZEL'S FAMILY

We spent 147 days in the NICU after Hazel was born at 1 lb. 1 oz! She is a micro preemie, a princess warrior, and a miracle baby. She has defied all odds and is thriving.

Hazel's photo session was taken and donated by 
Preemie Prints volunteer photographer, 
Rita Davis

A Note From Rita: 

This was a “1 year old” Nicu graduation for the beautiful Hazel! Always smiling and flirting with my camera, this tiny girl has a huge personality! A fighter, nothing in life will stop little Hazel from being the best she can be! Congratulations on such a beautiful family! I am very thankful for having had the pleasure to photograph this fire-cracker.

Photos belong to our volunteer photographers, families, and organization – please do not use for any purpose.
