Adorable Olivia's NICU Grad Photo Session


Please enjoy our inspirational photos and consider supporting our mission to share hope with families who have a baby born prematurely or critically ill. Our programs include an online support group, the gift of photography, group events and meetings, information, and email support. Our mission is to connect parents and let them know they are not alone. We thank our supporters, volunteers, and donors for allowing us to touch the lives of NICU, preemie, and angel families. 

We pray these special memories will help the parents to remember how strong they were in overcoming a crisis situation.


A note from Mom:
"Olivia was born at 33 weeks, 3 pounds 9 ounces due to Pre-eclampsia. I received the steroid injections before hand and she stayed in the NICU only 2 1/2 short weeks leaving the NICU at 4 pounds even with no tubing or complications what-so-ever. Today she is somewhere around 17 pounds (I'm sure we'll go to the doctor soon and find out a precise weight) and 7 months old (5 1/2 adjusted) and is catching up quickly with her development."

A note from Ashley:
"I'm a bit biased on how amazed I am by this family. Mom, Sarah, is one of the most incredible people I have every met. After giving birth to 2 1/2 year old, Jillian, as a micro preemie due to Pre-eclampsia, Jillian ended up with cerebral palsy, general blindness, endures lots of therapy, and must still be fed through a port. From the same condition that spurred her first early birth, Olivia was also born early and spent her share of time in the NICU as well. Now Sarah and dad, Jesse, are planning a November wedding with their 2 beautiful little flower girls. Could this little ball of cheeks be any more adorable?!"
