WAITING FOR YOU! - A STORY ABOUT ADOPTING {TAMPA AREA PHOTOGRAPHER}

Okay so initially I was going to do this as a sneak peek but decided it would be a sweet short post that really

deserved a little more then just a sneak peek.

 

I had a woman contact me and she wanted to do a photo shoot. 

As we discussed this she informs me that they

needed photos of themselves as they were starting their adoption process. 

This couple tried for many years to have a baby but it just wasn't happening.

So they decided to start an adoption journey.  I love that she refers to as a 'journey'.  

They needed photos for their portfolio to help match them with a birth mom

and they wanted some good family pics.  

"That' she says "is where I come in!"  

I have had other clients who are either foster parents or have adopted and

I know how much time, money and

heart go into this process. 

So I always admire people who decide to take this journey.

 

We talked and came up with some ideas about what she wanted.. she gave me an idea and I took one of her ideas and made it my own little version..

 they were so thrilled and thus the photo that you see was born.

 

Braddock (the one with the sign) and Moe are part of their family.. so we had to include them in this shoot.  They were so good and so patient and it was pretty hot this morning even though we started out pretty early.  But we did it and although the rest of the photos won't be ready for a little bit..

I had to immediately share this with everyone.  

As most of you know .. I have this heart for dogs and animals of all types.  I try to advocate animal safety and rights.  So I am especially thrilled when families want to include ALL the family members..  it shows me that they truly respect them and want them in their lives as part of the family and not just some object. 

And what better way to show prospective birth moms the type of love they will have for a child when they go to the trouble of loving and sharing their spotlight with their current 'babies'.

 

THOSE ARE MY KIND OF PARENTS RIGHT THERE. 

 

So good luck to you two. I will keep you in my prayers while you are on your journey. Anyone would be lucky to have you as parents and have 'brothers' such as Braddock and Moe. 

I can't wait to be part of this growing family in the future. 

hugs!!!
