what it’s like to have your photographer for life
Adoption is complicated. So let’s make it easy to get the images of your story on your walls and in your child’s hands.
Because we know firsthand the complications that come with adoption, we make the process for getting it photographed as simple and smooth as possible.
more than a photographer
You do the hard because your child is worth it.
I have served foster and adoptive families throughout Indiana and Central Illinois, documenting their big days and their ordinary days, but I’m not just a photographer. Some have called me an adoptive mentor and even a doula for adoptions.
As an adoptive mom, I have been in your shoes and I have photographed many more that have also been in your shoes. After taking part in so many adoptions, I am more knowledgeable to the process than traditional photographers. While adoption itself is monumental, it is heartbreaking at the same time.
