This is a very special sneak~peek for a very special family and cause. I first photographed these sweet girls in the NICU after they had lived there nearly 3 months, and the second time at their home,at 5 months old at their official newborn session.
It is my pleasure to get to photograph these little miracle babies for their one year birthday!
The sweet mommy of these twin girls is walking in the March of Dimes March of Babies wal on April 18th.
Please take the time to visit their page and make a donation to their team.
a message from their mommy…
” As we approach an anniversary that at one time was unimaginable, we again realize how blessed we have been. Fortunately, God is not limited by our imaginations. Our daughters, Berkley and Emory, will celebrate their FIRST BIRTHDAY on April 14, 2009. Their lives are testimonies to God′s mercy, the power of prayer and the wonders of modern medicine.
As most of you know, Berkley and Emory came into this world as a big surprise. They were born 15 weeks premature – Berkley weighed only 1 lb. 5 oz., and Emory weighed just 1 lb. 3 oz. Despite their size, they have taught us so much and have given us a new perspective on life. Among the many things we have learned, our little girls have especially taught us that it really is the small things in life that matter most. Big things only happen once in a very long while. And the big things are often just a bunch of little things grouped together. Life is too short to only savor the big moments. For us, it′s the little things like: Berkley′s first cry, the day Emory opened her eyes, installing a car seat, a bedtime story, the song we heard on the way home after both girls had been discharged from the hospital (after 123 long days), a toothless grin or a short walk down the hall just to watch the girls sleep.
So many of you are a part of our year of memories. Your prayers and support saved Berkley and Emory, and we consider you a part of our extended family. In some cases, we may have never met you, but we want you to know that we know you′re there and you have impacted our lives in ways you could not imagine.
We are so blessed to have a story to tell, and we also have a responsibility to tell it. Because you are also a part of our story, we would like to invite you to be a part of a special day for Berkley and Emory – the annual March of DImes.
For those of you who are not familiar with The March of Dimes, it is an organization that helped us through the uncharted waters of the NICU. This charitable foundation is behind so much of what is done in the NICU. We would like for you to join us in this worthy cause, whether you can do so by walking with us or by donating funds.
Your donation to the March of Dimes and/or your participation in the walk is one of those little things, but we assure you that it makes a big difference.

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.”
This sweet boy and his big sis were so good for me at every session – thanks again for a fantastic year!
