Clothing for Preemies and Tiny Infants

Jacqui's Preemie Pride
Any woman who has given birth prematurely will know that the arrival of your tiny infant is an emotional time. The extra medical care and attention that your little one needs can often mean that mom is unable to hold, bathe, dress and nurse her baby freely.

Not only that, when it does come to dressing your infant, it can be difficult to find stylish, comfortable clothing that is soft enough to be against your precious preemie's skin. 

That is why we love Jacqui's Preemie Pride, a U.S-born and bred business that utilizes local talent to create the most darling range of clothing for preemies. 

The Range

Located in Smithsburg, Maryland Jacqui's Preemi Pride really is making a huge difference in the lives of premature and hospitalized infants and their families.  

The clothes! We love them. I have never seen such gorgeous color combinations for preemies. Finally, someone gets that its not always about pastels! My favourite piece from the collection is defintely the luscious red bonnet pictured above. I also love the Tutti-frutti colors and tuxedo options. Just stunning.

Jacqui's Preemie Pride really have thought of everything. The clothing is not only supersoft, it is also easy to put on and remove, ensuring that your precious preemie can be dressed in a stylish, beautiful way that requires minimal contact while your bub rests and grows stronger.

Founded on Faith

The founders of this business,  Suzanne and Ralph Regan have created their preemie clothing range based on their own experience of having a tiny infant. Their precious preemie, Jacqui was born two months premature. Mom and bub were both fighting for life at the time of Jacqui's birth. However, with faith and love, Jacqui grew up healthy and strong and was recently a stunning bride :)

Sacred Candle of Fatima


Do you know someone who is ill and in need of potent prayer?
Maybe someone you know is going through hard times and needs blessings from heaven?

There is a beautiful prayer service now available for purchase online. No matter where you are in the world, you can have a candle lit at the shrine of Fatima in Portugal.

A short prayer will also be recited. The fee for this service is only $10.

 Once the project gains some momentum the people who are organizing it plan to begin the building of a mission to assist poor and orphaned children. Visit Fatima Candle for more info or to place your order.

 Its a fantastic gift idea for a christening- have the candle lit and prayer recited in honour of your precious bub. You can pay online with paypal and the checkout system is quick and easy.

My personal favourite is the God's Little Miracle Onezie. Just soooo precious and perfect as a christening gift. The beauty of these suits is that they are absolutely customized by YOU! Choose your font, your bling color, your onezie color and all for less than $20~

Christening Photography

 Not being a big fan of posed studio photography I was really pleased to come across these gorgeous photos taken by central New Jersey photographer Sherman Charles Weddings

So full of color (even the black and white one!), life and joy, these photos reflect for me everything that the modern christening is- a celebration of timeless faith that is as relevant today as it ever was.

I love the pure white gown, something of a tradition and this lovely little girl looks so happy with herself. The flounce and fullness of the dress is definitely a must-have and the modern head-piece really brings the look into the 21st century.

Its been a while since I photographed little ones in christening gear, but I clearly remember the challenge of capturing the white gown and the skin tones of the child. If the background is too dark it can create too much contrast and throw off the white.

The lovely peachy tones and plush red in the background of this shoot really bring a lot of warmth.
