Butler Family Adoption Session

To capture this session was truly an honor. I've been photographing sweet, smiling Maddie for a couple of years now and she melts my heart every time. This time, my heart was already melted before the session even started.

 Maddie is being adopted by her grandparents and can you believe it?? They chose me to document this special growth of their family.
 I mean, wow. I'm so humbled that I get to capture so many special moments in my client's lives and this was absolutely one of those times.

 
There's a lot of love going on in this family. What a brave young man, to let his daughter have some special gifts that he may not have been able to otherwise provide. What a selfless sacrifice, for Patrick and Rachel to commit to raising and loving another child.
 
 
So. Much. Love.


 
Thank you, Butler family, for letting me have this small part (which was huge to me!) and letting me see, first hand, how much love is in adoption, and thank you to all of my clients for all the warm-fuzzy-heart-melting you so generously share.
