As some of you guys may know, our little family (Mike, myself and our daughters Sophia and Isabelle) are big fans of adoption. Our beautiful baby girls are adopted and its something that our family holds very dear.

So we were pretty excited when we got the chance to photograph our friends and their gorgeous new daughter in the first weeks of welcoming her into their home. This little one is already so attached to her mama and daddy, you can see it in the way she snuggles right in when they hold her. I remember the early stages of both my adoptions well - the wonder, the love and the fear of the unknown. But also, the incredible beauty of a little heart who is getting to know their new place in the world and getting to know their new parents. It's truly a miracle the way everyone's paths are meant to cross eachother! 

Mike went over to Jodi & Corey's home to capture their new family. We just love doing in-home family sessions, everyone is comfortable and this is the place where the best memories are made. Their baby girl is so beautiful, don't her eyes just draw you right in? And I always love a girl who loves books as much as I do!
