I could not be more thrilled to be blogging these images! Not just because I absolutely love them…girl was a dream to work with! She was such a peaceful sleeper that I got to try so many fun setups with her. BUT…because six months ago I met Addie’s parents. They were starting their journey with adoption. I took photos of them with their dogs in the fall and had such a great connection with them. I honestly can’t believe a mere six months later they are now holding their baby in their arms.

Hearing their experience of the entire open adoption and bringing baby home process was  both sad and joyful at the same time. I truly believe the families on both sides here have been blessed and that this was meant to be. Addie is one lucky girl and I could not be more thrilled for her and her parents.

My favorite part of the session (besides just looking at this gorgeous girl)?  I basically hijacked Addie for three hours of rocking, feeding, snuggling, posing, and snapping with the camera.  Addie’s dad came downstairs from keeping the dogs calm and quiet when I was all done and told us he had missed her during those three hours and just wanted to hold her. I have to admit as a mom that totally makes me swoon.
