Preemie Prints NICU Graduate Photo Shoot: Baby Hudson & Ainsley, College Station, Tx

Our organization with our volunteers, is so blessed to be able to give this amazing gift to so many families. Please enjoy these inspirational photos of two adorable NICU babies!

A note from the twins mom: 
"After years if trying to conceive, my husband and I were finally blessed to be pregnant with not one but two precious babies. A routine doctor visit at 19 weeks lead to immediate strict bedrest. Then came many scares and hospital stays. They tried to come again many times especially at 25 weeks so I was sent to St. Lukes in Hoston. After they grew some more we were able to come to St. Joseph's hospital in Bryan, TX. After leaving this hospital I was put back into the hospital at 32 weeks for several more complications. One evening my water broke and they were taken by emergency c-section after midnight at 33 weeks. We made it to 33 weeks, but Hudson was not able to breathe on his own. After 3 weeks in the NICU we were able to bring them home, together. NICU stays are difficult to say the least, but greatful for the care they were able to receive!"

Welcome New Photography Volunteers!


Melissa Latty
Bella Photography
All of DFW


I currently work as the Marketing and Public Relations Director for US Marine Corps Recruiting Station Fort Worth. It's usually a normal 9-5 job, but sometimes my schedule can get a little crazy. I also spend time working in Wichita Falls, Waco, Killeen, Sang Angelo and Abilene, but only for one or two days at time. I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2007 as a photographer and journalist. This is where my photography training came from. I don't do very much photography for the Marine Corps anymore, because my bigger mission is Marketing. This is why I decided to start Bella Photography. I named my business after my 16-month-old daughter, Isabella. Bella means beautiful in spanish so i thought it would be a nice play on words. The majority of my clients are family and friends and i believe in reflecting the personalities of the families i'm photographing in my pictures.
