Table for 12…

What does love look like?

I think it looks an awful lot like this family.  This family has TEN. KIDS.

10.

Aren’t they beautiful?

The two oldest are biological, and the 8 youngest are adopted from the foster care system.  Their home is filled with laughter, joy, patience, and an overall sense of love.  I have a feeling there is rarely a dull moment in this family :)

And what do you think a family of 12 uses to get around?   What my husband calls The Jon and Kate plus 8 van.

Abby, Alex + Coleman…

Today we officially had our last Adoption Sunday session of the year. We waited until this little guy was ready for pictures, and today was the day!  I think his Mommies just wanted to get a good night’s sleep first. I can’t imagine why! ;)

Abby and Alex are adopted from Russia and Guatemala, and their little brother Coleman has quite the duo to look up to in the years to come.  They absolutely ADORE him, and it was not hard getting them to love on this little man.

Katie and Faith…

Yesterday was our session with  this dynamic duo and their cute Mommy.  We first met this family last year, and their session was so meaningful. This year we had the chance to celebrate another year stronger, and the addition of their Mommy’s fiancee.

Of course, the girls are just as charismatic and spunky as ever!

Especially Faith…she really needs to work on coming out of her box and being less shy. ;)

Beautiful Katie just takes my breath away.

Campbell…


We had Campbell’s second session as part of her baby plan this morning, and I have to give her mad props for being SUCH an incredible trooper.  First of all, Miss Thang has her first cold.  Second, the exact time that our session started was also her usual naptime (and even though she slept late that morning, babies somehow know when they should be sleeping and NOT having their picture taken by some lady with a big black box in front of her face). And third? Baby Campbell tumped over and thumped her head right in the middle of our session.

But did any of those result in the loss of a happy baby? Well, we sure had to work a little harder than usual. But the results? Well, see for yourself.

(Can you believe this was AFTER she bumped her head? What a hoss!)

(I love, love, LOVE this single little tear. Love. It’s easy to edit out, but she just looks so dainty in her tutu and that tear just kills me!)

Adoption Sunday (our last one!)…

Okay, so I said this before.  And I know we have one more family waiting in the wings, so this may not be THE last, but it’s the last one on my books for a long while.  Holiday season has officially hit, and we are swamped!

Meet Rose.  She was adopted domestically at a few weeks old, and is the little sister of a dear friend of mine.  Her adoption is closed, though I know she’s been thinking about trying to find her birthmother lately.  She’s one VERY cool person, one that I’ve loved getting to know, and one that I hope will think *I’m* cool enough to be friends with in the future.

Plus, look at her daughter’s hair.  I am going to need all the tips and tricks she can spare so our baby girl has hair as pretty as Cora’s.

Of course, we had to snap a quick photo with GaGa (and 2 of her 3 grandkids…the other one decided he was finished at about this point. But we’ll torture him photograph him again later.)

Love the different shades of brown in this photograph…Love comes in every shape, size, and color!
