“This was our first family photo shoot with the girls together. Isabelle was so proud to be a big sister. She helped pick out the dresses and was very protective of Maddy throughout. That day was incredibly fulfilling for my husband and myself—to finally have both girls home, and to see that our family was complete.”—Aubrey
