Ogden Utah Photographer | Emily + Mario Hoping to Adopt

They leaned in. Noses brushed against each other. And the tears started to flow. It was one of the most sacred and tender moments I’ve ever seen as an Ogden Utah Photographer. I had asked them to lean in and think about how they’ve supported each other through hard things they’ve been through. They later told me the gorgeous necklace with rainbows symbolized their beautiful babies in heaven. These two have been through so much and I’m so amazed by their love and strength.

When Emily and Mario asked me to take these photos I was so touched. They were in my church group in college and I literally can say nothing but good about them. ❤️ Whenever I’m with them I can just feel their goodness. They are so genuine, hardworking, and so HAPPY.

They are hoping to grow their family through ADOPTION! 👏🏼 Any child would be so blessed to be with them. ❤️

P.S. They need your help to connect them with their birth mama and family ⭐️ If you can help, head to @em.ily.ruiz and get in touch. Even just sharing their story will be helpful for connecting them.

Baby Ruiz will be so blessed. ❤️❤️❤️

XO,

Lauren
