We pulled it off! A huge high five to Mom for finding all ways here, there, and in between to keep these boys going on this freezing C.O.L.D day. Between my (bad) jokes, bribery, and the trains, we captured some amazing shots for very last minute holiday cards (ahem!) as well as a rockin’ wall collage that is already up in Mom’s new place! Thankfully Dad was able to join us before hopping a train back to the city.
This family is near and dear to me in so many ways. Mom is an incredibly talented artist and the kind of friend that is with you for life … no matter what. Her boys came to her in one of the most inspiring adoption stories I’ve heard (and trust me, I’ve heard many). Dad is a well respected physical therapist in the area who worked long nights right from the beginning so that he could live his dream of being a stay-at-home Dad. Mom and Dad’s marriage dissolved a few years ago, but to look at this family of four (yes, they still consider themselves a family), you’d never know it. They remain the best of friends whose commitment to co-parenting their children is unending. The happiness that each of them has found separately has without a doubt breathed new life into this family. I have so much admiration for them all and how lucky I am to be able to capture these moments in time for them.
