Snowed In

So what does one do when they are snowed in for a better part of a week with a 17 month old?  Well, when you are a photographer you grab your camera and work on some photography skills.  I am not sure if Alea was happy about being a subject especially when I kept trying to keep her in certain light however she was a pretty good sport about it.  I am always trying to challenge my skills especially when understanding light.  I took the opportunity to enjoy the amazing light the snow was casting into the window.

My Own

I am often asked about my own sweet little girl.  I have to admit her photographs are often the last on the list to get completed.  I gave myself the goal of having her one year session complete before she turns 14 months old.  I made it by a few days.  This past year has gone by so fast, and she has grown so much.  I hope you enjoy viewing photos of my baby girl as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Adoption

Adoption is something I believe very strongly in.  I think it’s an amazing thing.  It’s a wonder how a child who needs a family finds a loving family to take them in.  An adoption is taking place in our family.  My brother and sister in law are anxiously awaiting the news about their little one or little ones in Rwanda.  I had the opportunity to raise money toward their adoption a few weeks ago.  I did 8 sessions in 2 days.  All the session fees went toward their adoption which will likely pay for the plane trip home.  I wanted to thank each of the families that participated.  We had amazing weather and a each session went so well. Check back in the next two weeks for sneak peaks from the awesome sessions we had.
