Parents Magazine Editorial Shoot
August 18, 2008
Have you seen this on the newstands?

Notice the line about “The Joy of Adoption?” Well I got a taste of that when I was chosen by Parents magazine to photograph the Anhalt family. Adoption to many is shrouded in mystery and assumptions. What happens once your heart decides that adoption is the right choice for you? Parents does a great job highlighting several families in their quest.
Here are some of the photos from the session we conducted. These photos were not chosen to be in the magazine, but they deserve to be shared.
Photo with specs for Parents, lessons in how to keep a “good” girl down, laps are good…

But only contain for a short amount of time, then the fun of running on white paper barefoot amused us all for a bit…

Finally freedom to lead us on a glorious jaunt around the Vinson property…



Finally, all relaxed, I captured this lovely shot of this sweetpea who has brought so much joy into her parents lives.
To read more on their roller coaster ride with a happy ending go to Adoption Stories on the Parents website.

Trista, these are so beautiful
. I’m adopted myself, so these stories have special meaning to me. I loved the images in the article but am so glad you shared these additional ones. That last one is so stunning!
