“Frozen in Time: Capturing Heartwarming NICU Moments of Joy in Pensacola, Florida Through Photography.”

Several weeks ago I got a message from our local Ronald McDonald House asking if I’d be interested in helping with one of their annual campaigns. Having worked on the same project with them last year, I was honored to be asked back to do it again!

These little guys….these FOUR little guys {Peyton, Knox, Landry, and Noah} were born just before the New Year at 29 weeks gestation and had spent nearly 6 weeks in the NICU when I got to see them, and all were doing FANTASTIC! Mom and Dad were literally BEAMING with pride at their baby boys. I have to talk a little bit more about Mom because although I only met her for maybe an hour, I could immediately tell what kind of an incredible woman she was….so lively and cheerful and always smiling! I’m pretty sure there’s no way she was just carrying four babies she looked so great!

I worked my way around to each baby and we did some family shots and after we wrapped up in the NICU it was time to meet big brother Landon! Now Landon wasn’t too into me taking his picture but who could blame him, he’s got a lot on his plate taking in four new baby brothers, but I know he will be a great big brother to them.

It’s so special to be a volunteer photographer to the Ronald McDonald House and also Capturing Hopes Photography, which is an organization of volunteer photographers that provide complimentary sessions to babies in the NICU. It was truly a pleasure to meet this sweet family of 7 and I hope mom and dad cherish these photos forever <3
