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
“This is the second late
term preemie I've had. My son was born at 34 weeks 6 days gestation and now my
daughter was born at 34 weeks 5 days gestation. Both weighed 5 lbs 7 oz and
were 20 inches long. Both have been on the NICU. As of now my daughter is still
in. Don't be discouraged if you have a preemie. The NICU is an amazing place to
be. Although it is hard, it is nice knowing that your baby is being taken care
of and will be in the best place to thrive when going home.”
A Note From Angela:
“I think this session went
pretty well. Mom expected the baby to be sleeping but she had other plans for a
little while. She ate a little and was in and out of sleep but we still got
some really cute shots out of it. I enjoyed photographing this sweet little
girl. She is just the most precious angel. The parents were very friendly. They
were very warm and inviting and that made my nervousness disappear. I wished I
could have gotten more shots, cuter poses but I think what we have are pretty
good. They have a little boy and he was the cutest thing, and obviously loved
his new baby sister.”

Preemie Prints is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization sharing hope with NICU families through a variety of support programs. One of those programs is the gift of NICU photography and preemie photography. NICU families from across the US can request a no-charge photography session by a Preemie Prints volunteer. The family request from can be found on the right side of our website. These sessions are free of charge and for any NICU family, regardless of time spent in the NICU. The NICU photo shoot can take place inside the NICU or after baby is discharged and at home until their 1st birthday. Facing time in a NICU with a premature or critically ill baby is an extremely difficult time for families. Preemie Prints has a mission to share hope by letting families know they are not alone. 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.
This was a Preemie Prints NICU graduate photography session that took place near St. Louis, MO.
We're thankful to the family for sharing their story & memories in support of other NICU families.
