Nikitas, A miracle baby!

A miracle baby, that is the only way to put it! Little Nikitas was born a preemie at just 1 pound 15 ounces. I can only imagine how terrifying this must have been for his family. But this little man, against the odds, is now a healthy and strong baby and was a joy to photograph.

It was such a strange thing for me to wrap my head around; to be photographing a baby that was technically a few months old but was only about 10 pounds in weight. He was the size of an average 2-4 week old baby, but so alert and connected, it was amazing, I loved it! And his parents…I really can’t say enough about them, with Mama almost losing her life in Nikitas’ delivery. It was so clear to me, as her husband looked at her when we were shooting, how much he appreciated all she went through, how much they went through as a couple, and how much he loved her and their new little boy.  They were both so attentive and loving and so clearly appreciate of every second they spend with him and as a family. I can’t thank you both enough for allowing me to come and photograph your miracle baby. He is so lucky to have you and I can’t wait to see your joy as he hits all of the wonderful milestones ahead. Enjoy!
