I just love adoption. The very word and meaning are true and dear to my heart. The outpouring of love comes from opening up a family’s world and allowing another person or people to enter. The Johnson’s have not only opened up their home once, but seven times to children needing families. They are an amazing example to me, and came to their winning shoot full of love for each other! Between all eight of their children I saw respect, love, compassion and joy. Barb and Chris, you are amazing parents and examples. Thanks for allowing me into your crazy-fun world!




















They were all troopers as we headed outside for a few blustery April shots.
I just adored how these two little boys loved their new baby sister.







Great pictures! I love this family – so much joy!
