Our Services

Complete Adoption Profile
Your adoption profile starts with a free introductory consultation. We discuss your personal style and the type of profile you would like to create. From that initial interview you will receive a packet with several design possibilities to choose from and a template to complete with your text. We can scan your photos or you can send them on CD or through a digital sharing site like Flickr. We will be happy to walk you through this process. After we receive your text and photos it will take 7-14 business days to create your one-of-a-kind profile. Your design will never be used for another family. You will get an opportunity to proof the design before the initial printing and submit any edits you have for us. Once you meet with your social worker we offer an additional edit in case there are any corrections or additions we have missed. Most profiles are 12 pages long and are in 8.5 x 11 format. You will receive one proof printout and one full copy of your completed profile on premium photo paper as well as a CD of your profile in .pdf and PhotoShop format to bring to the printer of your choice; we can offer assistance helping you select one. This is your story and your introduction to the birth mother; it's our hope that we can help you tell it. We want your profile to reflect who you are as a family.

Photography Services and Portraits
As you start on this journey to adopt, many parents realize that their collection of family photos does not convey their story well to the birth mother. I know many of my photos have myself, my spouse or my children in them but few have us all together. Even fewer really show us as we are together, having fun and truly enjoying life and each other's company. For those of you with piles of standard photos and none that really show you at your best light, we offer this service. Our photographer will consult with you about what type of images you would like to have. She will meet with you on location for a 1.5 hr - 2 hr session and you will receive a CD of ALL the photos taken that day. Our designer will also get a copy of these photos and along with your family photographs we will build your profile.
