Adoption

You may remember this family from previous shoots and this precious baby girl that they adopted. The mother just contacted me concerning the agency that they adopted from. Right now they have 10 African American birth mothers all due from this month to June and NONE have chosen families for their babies. The chances are good that they would be matched with a birth mother and the family will have a baby in their home in the next few months. It would be a private adoption, so it is expensive, but there is information on financing private adoptions.

I've seen very closely the wonderful benefits of adoption. I am a huge advocate of it, and that is why I have chosen to post this. If you are interested in more information about adopting, send me an email to my pelousedesign account (linked under my photography), and I will direct to you whom you need to speak with.

Let's find these sweet babies loving homes!

Wenatchee-Andertons

Two months ago, this little family welcomed these two babies into their home after years of trying for them. They are just perfect! Thank you for making my trip possible, and for letting me get caught up on the Office!







Oooh, the dimples on this spunky kid are so scrumptious!















We had all sorts of plans for these two to sleepily canoodle together. They had other plans. When one would fall asleep, the other would wake up, and then came the punching and kicking.

Anderton Family

I'm back from a WHIRLWIND trip to Washington where I did two photoshoots and managed to squeeze in some time with my older sister and family. It was a great trip despite all the driving, where I listened to CD after CD of Christmas music and got thoroughly in the Christmas spirit. (as a side note: we purchased Hotel Cafe last night and it is a MUST HAVE. Seriously, my new favorite Christmas compilation next to Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton).

And where were my children during this you might ask? With my fabulous husband who winded and dined them on a variety of sugar cereals, trips to Kangaroo Zoo, loads of Christmas crafts and ended it all with a ship-shape house. Am I the luckiest girl alive or what?

And now for the Seattle-Andertons:







Totally started raining here, but how dreamy and stormy is it?









For all the camera techies out there, this image is SOOC (straight out of camera). Absolutely nothing done it. Three cheers for the 24-70mm on a 5D.



Jade walls and lime green grass, yes please!






And now I need to go ice my camera trigger finger.

the George family

In town from MY home town in Oregon, this family is full of personality and has most gorgeous eyes you've ever seen. There's a lot of pictures here, couldn't help myself. Thank you Georges for sticking it out in the BITTER cold!

the Cromwells

Geoff's sister and her family were in town for the big wedding and I got to take some pictures of them. We love every second that we get with them. Isaac and Lucy miss their cousins!

Up the canyon

I was grateful for the opportunity to go up the canyon and enjoy the beauty of nature today with this beautiful family. It was really cold, but their baby was a trooper. Isn't she darling?

all the way from Minneapolis

And they came to see me! Ok, they might be here for Thanksgiving, but still. They're just about as sweet as they come. It was a pleasure to spend a couple hours with you guys!

the Wilsons

We're always happy when the Wilson's come through Utah. We miss our two old roommates!
