jacob at home

this little man is a real life miracle. 

i read a book almost two years ago on a plane headed for atlanta. i was going to photograph my cousins with their newly adopted son. their road had been very hard. met with a lot of resistance. 
there were so many themes in the book that have changed the way i view a life.  

the idea of a story. living a life as if it were a story being told. and the idea that a good story is not an easy story. the more hardship, the bigger the struggle, the sacrifice-all these things make the story unforgettable and more meaningful. 

this family already has a very full story and i was fortunate to be able to capture a few moments of them all together. at home :)
