Grand Rapids Family Photographer // Emerson’s adoption!

It was quite apparent that Jared, Hilary and Emerson were already a family, but it was made official on Monday!  I love creating beautiful images, but being able to witness and freeze moments like this in time for my clients is what makes me the happiest.  Emerson is such a sweet and happy little man.   He must know that his mommy and daddy love him to pieces!  Adoptions seem to hold such a special place in my heart.  All children are perfect and deserve wonderful parents just like this….what a happy day!

The judge was so sweet.  He even gave Emerson a little book with a personal message inside!
