Ava's 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. 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 MOM
"Ava was born at home, after the hospital sent me home. She was 28 weeks gestation weighing 2 pounds 10 ounces. She is the most amazing, strong, little person I have ever met and I can't believe she is all mine."




Ava’s photo session was taken and donated by Preemie Prints volunteer photographer, Jenny Parson Owen.

A Note From Jenny:
“Ava is so precious! She was asleep the entire time except for a seconds when she opened her eyes, as if to check to see if we were done taking her picture, then off to dreamland she returned. This family is so loving, kind, and sweet. I'm so glad they were able to tough it out on such a hot and humid day to capture these memories for their family. Ava seemed to enjoy laying in my superhero basket. It was so fitting for her session as she's a tiny superhero in her own rights. Not only does she have a mom and dad who love her so very much, she is also blessed with a big sister and big brother whose love for her is apparent. It was a pleasure photographing little Miss Ava and her beautiful family! I look forward to working with them again in the future.”

Preemie Prints currently has over 100 volunteers nationwide. We are always looking for more volunteers to share in our mission! If you are interested, please email sherri@preemieprints.org and visit our website at www.preemieprints.org. To date Preemie Prints and our volunteers have gifted over 400 NICU family sessions.
