Some families come together at birth. Some families through other circumstances find each other later in life. Either way, it's always an honor to be asked to be the first one to officially document a new family with their first family photos. It's my goal to try an capture who a family is, what their personalities are, and who they become when they're together. These two ladies made that easy.

Crystal and I started planning this session months ago, but we had to put it on hold for a while...we were waiting for Z.Z. Crystal was in the process of adopting Z.Z. when we started and as adoption often goes, the process took longer than Crystal had hoped. Z.Z. finally came home 3 weeks ago, and just by witnessing the amount of love between this mother and daughter I would venture to say that it was worth the wait.

Congratulations to both Crystal and Z.Z. on their adoption and yay for families whenever and however they are made!
