I had the great privilege of photographing my first adoption session last week. It was all I expected and more. (Much more for this pregnant, hormonal woman!) Talk about the tears flowing amidst great excitement. In a word, it was SWEET.
As the flight was unloading, the immediate family came closer to the doors. I thought it was very considerate and wise for the friends to stand back a bit. This new family member is already going through so many changes as she's adopted into this family. I was fully prepared for her to be in hysterics with the overwhelming task of coming into this new country, new home, new family. She was able to meet the family first and she did so great.
She stayed close to mom, a wonderful sign to me! The rest of the kiddos were so glad to have mom and dad back, especially the youngest!
Here he is meeting his new sister...
What a wonderful experience...for me! I can only imagine how this new family must feeling, bursting with love and joy. Congrats!!
Very sweet Ashley. As a part of the church family of the Fixes, thank you for sharing the wonderful photographs. I can't wait to see more. You did a great job!
