Cute little boy Owens’ mom contacted me to do some family pictures for them…But not just any family pictures! Nope… these were going to be used in an adoption portfolio to be presented to a birth mom. These would play a role in persuading that birth mom to choose Owens’s family to provide a future for her child. Essentially these pictures would partly determine whether little Owen gets a baby sibling or not…
NO pressure on me or anything, right?!!
Turns out I need not have worried. Mom and dad are super nurturing --and it shows. Any child would be blessed to be treasured and loved by them- as Owen is. It was an easy capture.
My trusty, psychedelic orange sofa was a part of the shoot too! (I was so glad when mom requested it). In a unique way it helped this family express a little more of who they are: different, FUN for sure….a little brave maybe, ultimately just happy.
And so, barely two months after our shoot little Owens’ baby brother was brought home to live with them forever. I choose to believe that my pictures played a small part in making this happen; it makes me smile just thinking about it.
OH…how I LOVE happy endings!
Oh Carina that gives me the chills! How wonderfully happy!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a sweet post, and THANK YOU for helping our family on this amazing journey. Our new little guy, Noah, is beyond perfect—we are so blessed! We used the first picture you posted as the cover of our adoption profile. Noah's birthmother said that as soon as she saw that picture she could tell we were a family full of love and fun. Thanks for helping us capture and tell the story of our family! Can't wait for you to see (and photograph!) our new miracle!
