Family Session Share: An Adoption Story in Victoria BC

Professional Family Photographer | Victoria, BC (Vancouver Island) Family Portrait Photographer

I’m so excited to share this beautiful family’s session on the blog today! Where to begin? Perhaps I should rewind a bit to first share how I met Ally!

When I was brand new to Vancouver Island in 2018, I was super keen to meet new people and connect with other photographers. So when I learned about a local event for photographers, I did not hesitate to sign up. Ally is a photographer and happened to be at the same photography meet up I attended so I was able to learn more about her as we walked around downtown with our cameras!

After the photography walk, I started following Ally on Instagram where I learned that she and her family were on an adoption journey with their sweet little lady. So as soon as I received the good news that I was an official volunteer photographer with Found Families (a wonderful organization that provides free family photography sessions, through a national network of volunteer photographers to families who have recently adopted a child), I didn’t hesitate to reach out to Ally to let her know about this option being available to her family!

I met up with Ally and her family for their photo session at Esquimalt Lagoon because it’s one of their favourite beaches to visit as a family. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed meeting up with Ally and her family on that late afternoon in March that was FILLED with sunshine!

It was such a delight to get to know their sweet family better during their session and capture the incredible love they have for each other.

Thank you Ally and family for allowing me to capture your story!
