Last weekend I had the honor of capturing some #grandparentstories. They stole my heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I thought about what it would be like to watch a story unfold with Emerson and my mom, if she were healthy. I've had Emerson documented with mom her entire life but Emerson has only known my mom with #dementia. These stories were good for my soul. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When was the last time your kiddos (or even yourself) was documented with the grandparents? Never? I'd love to help remedy that for you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #indianapolisfamilyphotographer #familyphotography #familyphotographer #familystory #joyfulexposuresphotography #joyfulexposures #joyfulfam #westfieldfamilyphotographer #carmelfamilyphotographer #broadripplefamilyphotographer #documentyourdays #sincerestoryteller #tellyourstory #indyfamilyphotography #indianafamilyphotographer #familymatters #momentsmatter #dementiacaregiver #endalz #dementiaawareness

She was brave and strong and broken all at once. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm learning this. That you can be both strong and vulnerable at the same time. That you can be brave and nervous. That sharing out brokenness actually brings healing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A lot of what I'm learning has come from my work around the #enneagram. What do you find interesting about the enneagram? What do you want to know? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #worththewait #adoptiveparents #birthfamiliesmatter #indianaadoption #adoptionindiana #openadoption #joyfulfam #joyfulexposuresphotography #adoptionjourney #adoptionbuiltus #unitedmotherhood #familystory #seniorstory

There were lots of years I didn't want to be a mom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I had dreams & ambitions. Truthfully, I saw a child getting in the way of the plans I had. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thankfully, God changed my heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was wrong about a child getting in the way. Life in general will get in the way (no matter what you do). What I didn't expect is all that she would add to my life. Oh how my dreams and ambitions have become richer because of her. Because of Momma S to place her in our family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm forever grateful for Momma S. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wish she knew the impact she has had (and will continue to have) on my heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who has impacted your momma heart? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #indianapolisadoptionphotographer #adoptionstory #webelongtogether #lovemakesafamily #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #adoptionday #tellyourstory #indianapolisfamilyphotographer #familyphotography #courtroomsession #adoptionislove #adoptionrocks #adoptionphotographer #adoptionphotography #fostercare #takesavillage #worththewait #adoptiveparents #birthfamiliesmatter #indianaadoption #adoptionindiana #openadoption #joyfulfam #joyfulexposuresphotography #adoptionjourney #adoptionbuiltus #unitedmotherhood
