welcome home, saxon • babies

This was by far one of the coolest things I’ve ever photographed. I got to capture this sweet family of three …

… becoming a family of four.

This was such a blessing to be a part of. Kathy and Tim (fellow photographers from the Boston area) contacted me early last week to tell me that they just learned their son would be arriving from Korea on Friday in Detroit and they wondered if I could photograph the arrival for them. I was so thrilled that they called. We have known people who have adopted from Korea, Vietnam and Russia, but we’ve never been there when the babies arrived. So it was really interesting as well as one of the most special events I’ve photographed thus far. Here are a few pictures:

waiting patiently

getting anxious

Finally, the much anticipated moment. Baby Saxon arrives. I love the pure joy on their faces as they see their new son face to face for the first time. Such incredible love.

first kiss 🙂

daddy’s turn

and, of course, big brother wants to hold him

One of the coolest things about this is that he really is Saxon’s big brother. They have the same birth mother, which is so special and unique. To be able to adopt one child and then adopt his brother three years later. Very cool.

LOVE his chubby cheeks 🙂

Congratulations, you guys! It was such an honor to share this moment with you. God Bless your sweet family. 🙂
