I was so excited to be given the opportunity to photograph the fresh 48 for the Patrick family. My husband and Trey work together, so I have been following their story for a while.

The Patricks have been through years of fertility problems, foster parenting, almost adoptions and now, the birth of their baby girl Sloane.

I was able to photograph biological mom, dad and their families as well as the Patrick family and the moments before their adoption became finalized.
