After 5 years of trying to have a baby this family was blessed with 4 healthy, beautiful babies! Read about their story and I how I created a session both of timeless images and a creative photo that sets each baby as their own individual.

After they made it out the NICU, their story may have calmed quite a bit. But rarely does a nursing journey go without any bumps. 

Not all journeys begin the way we have planned. This mamas story definitely didn't. Read about the fight she and her son went through when he was born to breastfeed through their NICU stay.
