Washington DC Adoption Photographer

Time… It’s too fast. I’m 35 and we still haven’t started a family. Each birthday is a blessing but a reminder that we are a year older. Another year without YOU. It’s too slow. WE files another piece of paperwork and still wait. I told my friends I wanted to capture what a “paper pregnancy” […]

Time and Our Adoption Journey

We are getting so close to finalized our adoption. It feels surreal when you wait for something so long (10 years) and it’s close to reality.

Kelsie -An Adoption Story

I have waited for this session for years and it couldn’t have been a more perfect evening! We never know how our lives will play out, or the turns it can take. Even when we are sure of our calling, when enough time passes we can start to doubt and the waiting gets really hard. […]

Adoption.

October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. My thoughts have felt like a jumbled puzzle and it took me until the last day to finally sit down and write out a few things I’ve learnt over the years and felt the last few months.
