The love of a family is usually tough to capture on camera. This is an exception.
Kate T. Parker, who works as a photographer, was able to capture the scenes that will define her newly expanded extended family. She chronicled all the candid and intimate moments in a photo series called "Blended" following the adoption of her new nephew, Sam. He was adopted in Georgia, where the family also lives.
"We are so in love with this amazing little man who has brought such joy into our lives," Parker told My Modern Met. "There are so many wonderful and interesting things I am documenting, the power of love, the agonizing wait (and then elation) of adoption, the welcoming of another life into our clan, and what it means to be a biracial family."
