The professional photographer that is assigned to your NICU session will enter the NICU as a guest of your family. We ask that your baby's nurse be informed that a photographer will be visiting to photograph your baby on the day of your photo session.

The name of your baby and your family is protected and will not be shared publicly by Capturing Hopes at any time. Our photographers have signed an agreement that includes protection of your privacy as well.
3. Social Media
We like to share sneak peeks of each of our NICU photo sessions on our social media platforms to raise more awareness of this free program and support service for families. Our social media platforms are Facebook (Capturing Hopes), Instagram (Capturing Hopes Photo), and TikTok (@TheNICUPhotographer). *Optional below
