Meet Our Volunteers
Thank You, volunteers! Your impact is felt far beyond the walls of the NICU. Families carry your kindness with them long after they leave, often sharing stories of how a volunteer's smile or supportive words helped them through their most challenging days.

--------------------
Deneen is the Founder and Executive Director of Capturing Hopes Photography, bringing over 12 years of heartfelt leadership to her mission. With a personal story deeply rooted in pediatric intensive care, Deneen was a NICU mom for just 8 days but a PICU mom for nearly six months, a journey that profoundly shaped her passion for photographing NICU babies and families navigating medical challenges. Outside of her work, Deneen finds joy in walking her two dogs, playing the piano, and seizing every opportunity to travel. She and her husband will celebrate 30 years of marriage this June. Together, they have raised seven children and are now anticipating the arrival of their third grandchild.
