Heart Gallery of Broward County | Ft. Lauderdale Family Photographer

I first met “K” back in January 2009 during a Heart Gallery shoot.   “K” was in the foster care system.  Her portrait was going to hang in the Heart Gallery.  During our quick 15-20 minute session she asked me, “Do you know when I’m going to find my forever family?”  I had to look her right in the eye and honestly say, “I don’t know.”

This past summer, “K” was adopted!  I had the honor and privilege of being able to attend her official adoption proceedings.  (See images from that day here!)

And now, almost two years since “K” and I first met, I was able to photograph and capture her first family portrait session.
