Carter's photo session was taken and donated by
Preemie Prints volunteer photographer, Brian C. Parks.

A Note From Brian:

Carter did a great job for his first big photo shoot! The weather was great, as well–clear skies and warm. Though a little reluctant at first, Carter brightened up once he discovered the multiple water features at the A&M Gardens. He had a ball splashing in the water (though it may have been smarter to save that activity until the end!).
