Oh there are so many things I could say about this beautiful family & session. I could write a novel about the story of how they became wonderful parents to little Mareto – who they adopted months ago from Ethiopia. Due to how much I could write about how amazing they are, I think the BEST way to see for yourselves is to head on over to Lauren’s blog! Make sure you watch the video on Mareto’s adoption, (oh and make sure you have tissues near!) The family portrait session couldn’t have been any more perfect. Really. It was a beautiful afternoon, gorgeous light, and a quiet park & empty beach front as our background and play space. We had so much fun chatting, playing in the park, and splashing in the ocean! Not only is this family picture perfect, but the pure LOVE that pours out of their hearts and souls is such a beautiful beautiful blessing. I’m not gonna lie, I got into my car after our session was over and started to cry. They have such a respect and Godly LOVE for one another as a couple & family, I felt SO incredibly blessed that I was able to spend the afternoon with them & capture such special memories. I’m constantly reminded by my wonderful clients just how blessed I am to be able to do something with my life I feel so passionately about – to be able to give people the gift of memories and moments to cherish forever. Adopting Mareto was SUCH a process for them (seriously, read her blog), and now they are a family, a precious boy to call their son. Oh – and what’s better? Lauren just announced they are adopting again. My heart bursts with complete joy for them. Here are just a few of my favorites – Enjoy <3
