Cooper's Preemie Journey

The 2018 wedding season is in full swing and I’ve been busier than normal lately! If you didn’t already know, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in January! Cooper was born 6 weeks early after I developed severe preeclampsia. It was a difficult, exhausting road for all of us, but we made it through! We spent 16 long days in the NICU until our preemie was healthy and big enough to come home.
 
Fast-forward to June. Our tiny 3lb newborn has transformed into a chubby 13lb baby in the blink of an eye! After everything the two of us had been through, we're now completely healthy. As a first time Mom and photographer, I had to do my best to document his amazing journey–To capture these precious memories with our little guy. Here's a post with some of my favorite pictures of our strong, adorable preemie!
 
"Hold him a little longer,
Rock him a little more.
Tell him another story,
{You've only told him four}.
Let him sleep on your shoulder,
Rejoice in his happy smile.
He's only a little boy,
For such a little while."
❤️Mommy & Daddy love you so much Coop!
