I joined this family on a foggy and cold Super Bowl Sunday morning.
They had a beautiful home with a lot of natural light and amazing decor.
I walked in and little Reagan was having waffles while baby Victoria was sleeping in her bassinet.
I also met Ron and Michael for the first time.
They told me their amazing stories about adopting their two precious daughters.
What a gift, to be able to adopt a child… raise them… love on them… give them a beautiful life – with a sibling too!
I am so honored to photograph all baby stories, but this one was extra special.
We addressed the session as the kiddos let us.
This was definitely more lifestyle and I love how this session turned out.
R, M, R and Baby V,
What a lovely time I had with you guys.
Thank you so much for opening up your home to me.
I am so grateful I had the opportunity to document you all as a family of FOUR!
Congrats on your newest addition and I hope you are getting sleep! π
Many blessings!
.love.

Arden,
I’ve always been a fan, but am loving all these lifestyle sessions. My fave one here is the one where they are all reading and the oldest girl has one hand on each of their faces. Beautiful work!! <3
ardenprucha says
Thank you Allyson. I have really been enjoying these LS sessions too. It’s work, but not as exhausting as the posed sessions. I am SO GLAD I have changed the way I do NBs!
