Giving Back :: Celebrating Adoption {Fall 2010}

Hello again! No, I did not drop off the face of the earth, but blogging has taken a back seat to portrait sessions, editing, ordering and family life the past month. I had no idea what I was in store for this fall! But I loved every minute. Some days I feel a little like I went back to college (I LOVED college!) ~ the late, late nights, lots of coffee to keep going, lots of work interspersed with fun times with family & friends over the holidays. Now I am SOOO ready for a winter break, but can start to resume posting some of the fabulous sessions from the fall.

The first one up is the adorable Miss A~ this was a giving back/baby portrait session to celebrate her recent adoption. I always love finding out the stories of families who are created through adoption~ her mommy & daddy, Lisa and James, were thrilled to find out they were going to be parents as they received a call saying a baby girl had been matched with them~ and she had not only arrived, but was waiting for them at the hospital! I can't imagine the scramble to get everything needed for a newborn and literally transform a room into a nursery overnight. This little sweetheart has been a blessing and a little lovebug for her family, with a smile that is so endearing. We met at a local park on a beautiful fall morning~ here are a few from her session! Enjoy!
