NICU discharge day is filled with mixed emotions. One moment you’re celebrating, and the next you’re wondering if you’re ready to do it all on your own.

The truth is that most NICU parents feel a combination of excitement, relief, gratitude, fear, and uncertainty. That’s completely normal.

Whether your discharge day is approaching or already behind you, know that you’re not alone in the emotions that come with bringing your baby home. 💜

When your baby arrives prematurely, it can be emotional realizing that all the tiny newborn outfits you carefully picked out suddenly look so big. Finding preemie clothes that are soft, reliable, affordable, and actually fit can feel overwhelming during an already difficult time.

Here are some stores that Brave Beginnings personally trusts and has used firsthand!

Meet baby Blaze! I got to photograph him the morning of his discharge day. It was so sweet to witness the joy and excitement his parents were feeling! Leaving the NICU can come with many emotions and moments of “OMG” but Blaze’s parents were so ready to bring him home 🩵
Congrats!

Your baby’s care in the NICU is a team effort. From neonatologists and nurse practitioners to nurses, respiratory therapists, therapists, and social workers - each member plays a special role in keeping your baby safe, healthy, and supported.

Every team member works together and with you, because parents are an essential part of the team too.

On Friday I was given the amazing opportunity to photograph not just one, but TWO sweet baby boys—Aiden and Emmett. Their wonderful parents, Lauren and Ian, were absolutely lovely and the perfect subjects for my very first twin session!

Around 60% of twins are born before 37 weeks, and about 10% are born before 32 weeks.

I spend a lot of time documenting fragile beginnings in the NICU.
Outside of that space, I photograph what feels like home — my son, dogs, and the landscapes around us.

Thank you for being here and letting me share both sides of my work.

In addition to taking NICU photos, I also create a content video for each family.
As an example, here is the video I made for Olivia’s family!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Allyssa, Matt, and their precious baby girl, Olivia. The name Olivia represents peace and victory—both of which beautifully reflect her calm demeanor and incredible fighting spirit 🦋.

Thank you to this wonderful family for allowing me into their world.
