Emily and Brooklyn. Illuminating Family, Reframing Teen Parenthood. May 3 2018

Say hello to the cutest mom and kiddo, ever! The first time I met this beautiful duo was at the Teen Parent Services celebration of the seniors graduating. Brooklyn mesmerized me! She is absolutely the most adorable child. After that initial meeting, Emily and I arranged a day and time for me to come to their house to do their photo shoot. Emily and Brooklyn live with Emily's mom. Her mom is a huge source of comfort and support.

I love that shy smile.

This session was a great example of how the families that I collaborated with welcomed me into their homes and their lives with open hearts. I was so grateful and inspired by how warm, honest and open both Emily and her mom were. I feel so fortunate that Emily trusted me with her photos and her story.

You will meet this fabulous family at the show! Brooklyn is now 4 years old, so big! I hope I recognize her.

See you at the Paragon Gallery on May 17th! 4:00-7:00 PM. 815 N Killingsworth St. There will be food and drinks. Bring your kids, mine will be there!

Love, Eden
