Yesterday was one of *those* days. One of those icky days where everything seems to go wrong and everything tests your patience. I don’t speak too much about my personal life here on the blog, but yesterday was stinky. I was actually headed to this session in tears after the last straw broke right before I had to leave, and it sent me over the edge. I was trying so hard to get it together, knowing I had a very important session in front of me. And, the moment I laid eyes upon Mom and Dad’s smile from their car window, my bad day got better. Then – I walked up to their car and was greeted with squeals, and hugs, and pictures drawn for me by 3 of their 4 girls. And THEN – THEN!!! – I was able to meet and hold and love on the newest member of this family – Clayton.
There is no way I can do this adoption story justice, so please go read Mom’s blog. She is such an amazing woman. I have followed this adoption story since the beginning, cheering on this family in all of the hurdles they overcame, praying for them every step of the way, and shedding tears of joy when I finally heard the news that they were bringing this sweet boy home.
Yesterday I was blessed to be reminded of how lucky I am to capture these moments. Yesterday I was blessed by the experience of documenting this wonderful family. Yesterday I was blessed. Thank you for erasing my bad day and making it one that I will remember fondly for a very, very long time. I simply adore you all and am beyond elated when I look at these images and was beyond elated to capture them!! So much {love} to you all.
