On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing true miracle babies—Norah and Noelle.  Weighing in at 1 lb. 3 oz and 15 oz. when they were born on September 5, 2008 (at 24 weeks!), these girls have mystified and fascinated all of us who watched their amazing journey.  Now, at 9 months of age, Norah is over 15 lbs and Noelle is over 12 lbs.  These magnificent babies are thriving due to the love and devotion of their parents, Sharon and Stafford.  They are the true testament to the power of exceptional medical care, love, courage, strength, encouragement, hope, hard work, and lots of prayer.  Their journey has a beautiful and happy ending…They now eat oatmeal, peas, and squash, have their ears pierced, sleep through the night, attend daycare, and share a wardrobe of matching outfits.  No doubt Norah and Noelle will continue to fascinate all of us as we watch them grow, share a bond, and nurture a sisterhood like no other.  I look forward to documenting their childhood as they become beautiful young ladies.

A beautiful family!
