Bella : Tulsa Newborn Photographer
For those of you that do not know, late last year I became involved with an amazing ministry here in Tulsa, Crisis Pregnancy Outreach, to provide my services free of charge to newborns placed for adoption. What a blessing this organization is! I photographed my 3rd adoption blessing on Tuesday and it was so very special. I was greeted at the elevator by Bella’s adoptive mother and birth mother. How incredible it was to witness the bond between these two extraordinary women. They both sat quietly behind me as I posed sweet Bella, marveling at the sight of their daughter. As the session was coming to an end I asked if they would be up for some photos with Bella and they both happily agreed. I started with Bella’s adoptive mother and Bella alone and then moved Bella in the arms of her birth mother. I then asked Lacey to come in and wrap her arms around them and it was the most beautiful thing to be a part of.
I then posted that image to Facebook and I am completely blown away by the response. My heart is so full reading all of the comments. I can tell that this image has affected so many people in a positive way and that is what photography is all about and I’m so blessed to be able to capture these moments for my clients.
Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to stop by and comment, I know it means so much to so many.
This is beautiful. I don’t have other words for it. It brought tears to my eyes. You are truly using your talent to be a blessing to others. This is precious. God has blessed you 🙂
Kristen this is such a beautiful story. I was adopted before I was born and have never met my birth mother. I have letters from her expressing her love for me and that she loved me so much she wanted me to have an amazing family that loved me just as much as she did. These pictures are something that will be cherished by that sweet little girl her whole life. You are so lucky to get to be a part of that!
Most beautiful thing ever, I just can’t put it into words!! The strength of these two amazing women, forever united with one adorable little girl!!! Such a blessing you are for what you have given them!!
Love love love this! I have pictures together with our son’s birth mom around 6 months, but these newborn pictures are just extraordinarily striking! So much love. Thank you for sharing!
Omg! Beautiful!! You got so many amazing poses! Did she sleep the entire time???
Kristen!!! This session is absolutely amazing and so incredibly touching!!! I love every single image!!! Gorgeous images girlie!!! Fabulous jobs!!! 🙂
What an amazing thing to do! These photos are breathtaking and the story behind them makes it truly inspirational. I am an adopted child and this truly touches my heart. As a photographer, I would be honored to do the same one day. I’ll tell everyone that you sent me…..

Absolutely breathtaking & beautiful. What amazing people you all are! Birth Mum, Adoptive Mum & Photographer! Plus one divine Baby Girl, congratulations to you all!
This has brought tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart we have recently sent in our application to CPO. This is an image that will stay with me forever hoping that one day our birth mother would be willing to bless me with a photo of this maganitude….because without her we would never have the opporunity to experience the birth of a second child.. May God truly bless you and your business…
Thank you for sharing your talent this way. I love how you have captured the beauty of open adoption. We were privileged to adopt our son from cpo last year. He just turned 1.
What an amazing gift you have given to each of Bella’s moms and to Bella. And she is such a beautiful baby … you captured her so perfectly!
BEAUTIFUL! Kristen, your talent blows me away!
