Ayme & Ellie: A Year of Love and Growth


Aymee & Ellie: A Year of Love and Growth

Some people come into your life and leave a lasting mark—not just for who they are but for the love they so generously give. Aymee is one of those people. She has been a foster mama to sweet Ellie for over a year, and their bond is truly something special.


Aymee first reached out to me when Ellie was just a few months old. I remember those early days vividly—Ellie, so tiny and full of wonder, with Aymee lovingly cradling her in her arms. It was clear from that very first session that Aymee’s heart was all in. Capturing their connection felt like photographing the purest kind of love: selfless, joyful, and unwavering.


Fast forward to today, and here we are a year later, celebrating their journey together with another beautiful session. Ellie has grown into a curious, lively little girl with the brightest eyes and the sweetest laugh. And Aymee? She’s still Ellie’s rock, her comfort, and her biggest cheerleader.

To honor Ellie’s privacy as a foster child, you’ll notice that her face is hidden or turned away in these photographs. This small adjustment doesn’t take away from the story of their bond—instead, it focuses on the little details that matter so much: Ellie holding Aymee’s hand, the way she snuggles in close, and the genuine connection they share.


The photos from this session speak volumes about their bond. Ellie’s playful giggles, Aymee’s warm embrace, the way they look at each other—it’s pure magic. These photos aren’t just about marking time—they’re a celebration of love, growth, and the incredible impact one person can have on another’s life.

Aymee’s journey as Ellie’s foster mama is a testament to how love can bloom in the most unexpected ways and change lives forever.


Thank you, Aymee, for trusting me to capture these memories. Watching Ellie grow and documenting the two of you together has been a joy and an honor. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for both of you!
