Meet beautiful baby Nile who was born at just 26 weeks and weighed 1 pound, 9 ounces! By the time I captured her newborn portraits though, little Nile was close to her original due date, so healthy and perfect in every way!

Since my son was also born premature, I’ve always held a special place in my heart for all the mamas of early birds babies! There is nothing quite like the roller coaster ride of giving birth several weeks too soon and the stress of watching your baby fight to grow in the NICU for weeks on end. Congrats to this beautiful new family of 3 and it was an honor to capture your beautiful baby daughter after such a long journey!
