T and J

I enjoyed taking these mother/son photos at Tempe Beach Park. I met this family over 11 years ago when we were both attending adoption classes to adopt our children from South Korea. We quickly became friends and experienced the highs and lows of adoption as we anticipated and waited for our children to become part of our forever families. Her son came just a few weeks before our daughter, I still remember that amazing moment watching her meet her son for the first time. And they were there for us as we met our daughter for the first time. We have a special bond that will always be there. It was so great to see them again and every year that passes, our kids just keep growing! I can't believe her son and our daughter are already in 5th grade and approaching 11 years old! Here are a few cute pictures from their photo shoot, as you can see her son loves football so we integrated that into their photo session.
