Baby Gabriel Best Thing Ever: An Adoption Story and Newborn Photos | Seattle Newborn Photography

This is one of the most meaningful newborn sessions I have ever had the privilege to photograph, but let me back up. Katie and I went to college together in Switzerland. It turns out we were actually next door neighbors in our first dorms, but we weren’t close at school. We had friends in common and our school was microscopic, so we knew each other, but it wasn’t until years after that we really connected. Katie started blogging in the early days of fashion and interior blogs and then started Matchbook Magazine with another college friend and through blogging, a love of design and antiques, and both being more than slightly neurotic we became long distance friends.
