Holland's Preemie Prints NICU Grad Photo Shoot!

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. Preemie Prints support programs include NICU photography and NICU graduate photography (the gift of photography at no charge for a NICU family), the gift of handmade items, group events and meetings, information, and prayer support. Our mission is to connect parents and let them know they are not alone. 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 remember how strong 
they were in overcoming their NICU journey together.

A NICU STORY | THOUGHTS FROM MOM
"I found out we were expecting at four weeks. During week 5, I began battling hyperemesis gravidarum which led to multiple hospitalizations and a picc line for a zofran pump and iv fluids 24/7. As the hyperemesis began to lift in week 18, my blood pressure began to creep up gradually which led to preeclampsia.  My daughter, Holland, was born January 15th at 25 weeks exactly weighing 1 pound 6 ounces.  On April 14th, one day shy of her 3 month birthday, we brought our girl home!"

A note from Jessica:

 “What amazing parents!  You can feel the love when you walk into their home.  I was welcomed with open arms and friendly smiles.  Baby Holland is a DOLL!  And has such a great little personality already!  She was very attentive while awake, watching us as we moved around and changed her outfits.  After a short time she fell asleep where I was able to capture some adorable memories for the loving parents.  I wish them the best and hope to be able to stay in contact over the years to see how Holland grows.  I am so happy that I was allowed to join Preemie Prints, to give families, like the Townes, photographs they can cherish for a lifetime.”
