Baby Hayden Is Officially Adopted!

What a beautiful moment to celebrate—Baby Hayden is officially adopted! This year has been full of big, happy milestones for this amazing family, and I’ve been incredibly lucky to be the one behind the camera for so many of them. If you follow along with my work, you’ll be seeing a lot of their smiling faces in my feed—and I am not mad about it!

We all met at the Madison County Courthouse to witness this quick but incredibly meaningful moment in their lives. It was short and sweet, but the joy in that room was absolutely overflowing.

Mandy

If you haven’t seen Mandy in my posts before, let me fill you in. She’s been a dear friend of mine for quite a while. She was actually in my wedding. And I’ve had the honor of watching her family grow and thrive over the years. Mandy is the kind of woman who takes on hard things with grace and grit—and somehow still makes it all look effortless. She truly is a rock star in every sense of the word.

This week, she officially adopted sweet baby Hayden, who has been with her since he was a newborn. He is so loved, and it shows in every little smile, giggle, and cuddle. His big brother absolutely adores him, and the two of them together in court were nothing short of heart-melting. I have never seen a baby smile so much outside of snack time or peek-a-boo! He may not have understood exactly what was happening, but from the joy on his face, you’d think he did.

Their smiles were contagious—his, his big brother’s, Mandy’s, and the whole family’s. And just a little spoiler: you’ll be seeing even more of this sweet crew very soon after their upcoming wedding!!
