One of the most beautiful things ever. Adoption. To take a child and make them your own, and love them to the moon and back. What an absolutely beautiful thing.

Look at the joy of her face! I’m not sure who has been more blessed with this adoption, her or her new family.

It’s getting darker much earlier, there is a chill in the air and I listened to some Christmas music on the drive home today. That can only mean one thing. Christmas is almost here! Now, if only I can get all my work done so the relaxation can set in.

Since so many of you are stuck indoors with the weather I thought I’d take advantage of it and tell you about an upcoming event called Orphan Care Idea Camp. Idea Camp focuses on Orphan Care and the Church. The event will cover topics such as US and International care, community development, trafficking of orphans, foster care and more. The event will be held at my church, First Baptist Church in Rogers (on Pleasant Grove Road) February 25 & 26. For more information or to register go to www.fbcrogers.org. You can also visit www.theideacamp.com.

I’ll be there. Will you?

I’ve never been very good at writing. At least, nothing interesting. I guess that’s why I’m a photographer. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I guess I’ll be posting just over 3000 words tonight.

You can’t look at this image and not know that this little man has found his home. God sure does know what he’s doing even when we can’t see it. His big brother got to journey to Ethiopia to bring him home. Wow. I can’t even begin to imagine how that trip will forever change him.

Mom says he’s very protective of his little brother. Can you tell?

And finally what’s a photo shoot without some traditional clothing? How cute are those little toes?!

Baby overload | NWA newborn,baby & adoption photographer

Momma called me when baby ‘A’ was 7 weeks old. The down side of that is they don’t like to curl up well, but the plus side is the belly button! Isn’t this the cutest belly button you’ve ever seen?! Baby ‘A’ put up with a lot. With a little patience we were able to pull off some sleepy shots as well.

This next session was for Celebrating Adoption. These new parents have the coolest adoption story! Sometimes it’s just impossible to deny God’s power.

And one more on this post. (Can you tell the rain has given me some time?) You might remember this little man’s BIRTH. Here he is 7 days fresh. Check out his lips!

Weekend Availability

mindy — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:12:47 +0000

It’s no surprise that juggling being a stay at home mother and a business owner is beyond a 24/7 job, but lately it’s wearing. I noticed the other day, to my shock, that I’ve scheduled myself in for every single weekend til June. Don’t get me wrong I’m so excited to meet everyone of these clients and am honored to photograph them, but I’m going to take this opportunity to change things for the future. I need my weekends for my family. So starting in June I will only be opening up 1/2 the weekends each month. The other half I won’t be scheduling any sessions. That being said if you are going to need a weekend spot, even as far out as fall you might want to schedule early. Right now I can only schedule a Saturday appointment in June for the 5th and 26th.

I wanted to share a few more images from a previous session.

Today I realized how old I’m getting. Chasing around 4 children up and down a steep incline would have been a piece of cake 10 years ago!

It was worth it though, don’t you think?

I saw this next one coming and had my camera ready! Priceless!

Sometimes it’s not all sunshine and rainbows…sometimes it’s just rain!
