Loved loved loved this shoot. I always love adoption shoots, but not all of them are equally fun. There’s nothing like the energy and excitement of a room full of semi decently behaved children. Too well behaved and they’re boring; not behaved enough and their obnoxious. But these three kids, all adopted from Korea, had just the right mix of excitement, goofiness, and mischievousness. I had a lot of fun playing with them. And their parents are obviously wonderful people. This was their 4th adopted child from Korea.
We started the day off meeting the foster parents for several of the older kids. Frankly it’s much a chore to the kids, but a very exciting experience for the foster parents. As a photographer that just sees the babies for an hour or so I’m often curious how they’ll be in several years. So I can imagine that feeling multiplied by several million by a mix of motherly instinct and 1-2 years time spent together. We then all jumped into the gotcha room and chaos exploded. Two years of patience and excitement blew up volcano-style when the two parents and three siblings met their new brother.
Congrats guys. Best of luck.
