The 2012 Preemie Prints Calendar features 12 NICU/NICU graduate Preemie Prints photo shoots from 2011 along with a special October honoring tiny angels! The calendar is a way for us to enjoy the beautiful pictures taken by our volunteers and raise money for our organization, so that we can continue our work raising awareness and developing more outreach programs for NICU, preemie, and angel families.
In addition to supporting our mission, you also get to enjoy amazing photography of some precious preemies, who had a very rough start to life! Preemie Prints, and our wonderful network of volunteers, gives this gift of photography to current NICU families because we want to share hope and inspire them to keep on going. We want to bring a smile to their face when they reflect on their time in the NICU through our pictures. We want them to know how strong they are, even when they feel defeated. Each day they wake up, return to the NICU, and sit by the side of their little fighter whispering loving words, cuddling, and taking care of them. Those difficult days in the hospital and early days at home are filled with an odd beauty and grace that is unexplainable, but pictures do a great job of trying.
As you look into the eyes of these tiny faces, you are staring at some of the strongest little fighters, I have been so blessed to know through Preemie Prints. They are amazing miracles, and when I look at them they are humbling and bring tears to my eyes. Some beat incredible odds and dismal diagnoses, but through the grace of God overcame and triumphed. Others spent a very short time on this earth, but I have already been witness to the many lives they have touched, and through their spirit continue to touch daily. Their parents spent days by their side rallying and cheering them on. Even when fatigue, emotion, shock, and fear were overtaking them, they still sat by their side with an intense and pure love for their child. We are here supporting those families...past or present, no matter the circumstance or the outcome, we are here, so we ask that you please support what we are
doing by ordering a calendar.
