An Adoption Journey Begins

I'd like to introduce you to our baby's birth mom, the lovely Petra. Petra came to us several months ago and asked if we would be willing to adopt her yet unborn child. Our answer was a resounding, "Yes!" After seven years of waiting, it seems we will finally know what it is like to have a newborn baby! There are simply no words to adequately describe what an amazing gift Petra is giving us by choosing us to adopt her child.

We are documenting this adoption process through our photos. Recently, we did a mini photo shoot with Petra, and we had a blast. It is amazing how much you can love a little life you have never even met. We can't wait to meet this baby! We are down to the last month before the due date.

Thank you, Petra, for being willing and for being so amazingly selfless throughout this process; we love you. :)

Heather and Kevin: Maternity

I recently got to do a fun maternity shoot with soon-to-be-parents Heather and Kevin. They are expecting their first child, a boy, next month. The miracle of pregnancy never ceases to amaze me! It was wonderful to see their mutual love for their baby boy.

Heather and Kevin, I look forward to meeting this little bundle of joy ex-utero and snuggling him thoroughly! Enjoy your pictures.
