Rosanna contacted me in September looking for a Seoul pre-wedding photographer to do something “not cheesy”. Rosanna and Andrew met under what they consider fairly unlikely circumstances. In a small town in Canada where neither of them had expected anything life changing to happen. An item left at a party to be returned, a second meeting, and Rosanna and Andrew never looked back. They have spent time apart, respectively pursuing their lives in England and Australia, before coming to Korea […]
It has been far too long since I blogged about the joy that is adoption and being an adoption photographer, and far too long since this amazing couple picked up their son. Now that my feet are safely back on the ground, it is time to share this incredible story from Seoul, Korea with you. This is Wade and Holly’s adoption first meeting with their son Teague. Holly and Wade travelled to Seoul to sign the final forms and collect […]
Yesterday’s amazing session had me up late thinking about this family, and how Lucy’s first night with her new kin was going. Being an adoption photographer means reliving the days events when you get home. Sorting through the photos, experiencing the joy and pain all over again. It is a wonderful job, and I could wait to complete the second chapter with Lucy and her family the next day. I met Lucy’s troupe again for their family session in Deoksugung, […]
Earlier this week, Lisa, Brian, and their biological son Jack came to Seoul to meet the newest member of their family, Lucy. A sweet, quiet, somewhat reserved baby girl, Lucy took a little while to open up to her new family. But when she did, it was smiles all around and she took her new brother by the hand to show him around. This is what makes adoption photography so special. I was thrilled to be the family photographer they chose […]
Less than 24 hours later I met this wonderful family again, and had the pleasure of capturing their bonding with their new son. Yesterday’s session was my first foray into adoption photography, but today I felt comfortable with this family and we got started straight away with capturing this special day. If yesterday we had any number of emotions in the room, this day we saw only smiles, and the strength of these two parents left a lasting impression on […]
I recently had the privilege of photographing the welcoming of a new member to Kala and Gary’s family in Seoul. This was to be my first adoption photography session, and needless to say I had almost as many butterflies in my stomach as the lovely parents-to-be that I was about to meet. The concept of adoption photography is such a new one, but days like these should be remembered. Gary and Kala are such loving parents, and you could see […]
