This is a lovely story.  My friends after years of waiting have welcomed a baby girl into the world and their lives through adoption.   How exciting it is that they asked me to photograph Chloe while she was still tiny, only nine days old.  She was so alert and think she is going to be really smart.  Look out mom and dad!!   I have known Brad and Chantelle for years.  I photographed their wedding at Craigfont in Gallatin and worked with Brad.   They have been parents to several sweet four legged children including Tululah who has amazing eyes and Jasmine, the bengal cat who is smart as a whip.   Being a birth mom myself, I know the struggles and heart break of letting a child go.  It is painful and stays with you for your entire life.  You can only hope and pray that the people who are now your child’s parents will love your child as much or more than you could.  I know B & C are going to be incredible parents with more love for Chloe than anyone else in this world!!

I love this image... just perfect. B & C painted the tree on the nursery wall. Chloe's birth parent's names are painted on the truck along with B & C in a heart.
