Photographer Kate T. Parker is one proud aunty.
Her sister and brother-in-law adopted her 5-month-old nephew, Sam, in February 2014 and she knew she wanted to celebrate the newest member in a special way.
"Throughout their entire adoption process, I knew I wanted to document whatever lucky baby we would welcome into our family"
In a photo series which she calls "Blended," the photographer captures Sam's first moments with his family. She explained that the project also documents "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."
