Hi, I'm Neyssa

As a Seattle family photographer, I knew I had to fit this family in for a session when I heard their story. However, I didn’t know how much I needed this session. After two years in the foster care system, I was adopted at 10 years old. You can say I have a special place in my heart for families who adopt. Of course, I really have a special place in my heart for those who want adoption family photos.

A Heartwarming Adoption Journey

Their story is one that pulls at your heartstrings. Mom traveled to China to meet and find her child. She went with the idea they would adopt a baby or toddler. But then she saw her and knew—a 10-year-old girl with muscular dystrophy was her daughter. This July, the family gets to bring their daughter home.

Why Adoption Family Photos Matter

The day of their session, my own children were insane. I felt drained from the day, yet I picked up my camera and headed to their session. As I got to know them and as I clicked my shutter, my creative spirit was ignited; I was filled. Their excitement and joy were so contagious. Their love for their two daughters was overflowing. I was reminded exactly why I do this, why photography matters. Their girls will be able to look back at their photos and see how loved they are, how much they were wanted and adored.
