A True Love Story . . . .
This is a really incredible story about a unique and diverse family, and I am honored that they chose me to record their special day.
This family began with Justin, who was adopted at the age of 8 after he lost his mother & father, he needed love and a mom. For awhile there were just the two of them, Suzette and Justin. After Bill and Suzette married, they brought two new members home to the family from across the ocean, fulfilling Justin's desire for a brother or sister. Ariana and Alexey were 17 & 19 month old crib mates at the orphanage in Russia.
Justin also has a biological grandmother, Joan, and everyone feels it is important to keep that relationship open. The family welcomed Frances into the family upon her marriage to Justin, and they are now the proud parents of a beautiful 6 month old baby boy.
This photo session was so special because the family traveled from North Carolina and New York to gather together in Tawas, Michigan, so they could all meet the newest member of the family, baby Vincent.
Tawas was a wonderful setting for their reunion, the lighting at the beach was just perfect and the backyard was beautiful with all the rocks, trees and waterfalls. I hope I have captured the love story of this wonderful family and given them a record of their very special day that will last for many years to come, and thanks Tracy Landrey for the referral. Note: baby Vincent's face is not being shown in this blog at the request of his parents, but trust me . . . he's a doll!
As Justin, a wise 8 year old told Suzette one day many years ago . . . "it's not your plan mom, but God's plan," well said, and I think he was right.
A little behind the scenes . . . .
