Woke up early to the sound of my blackberry alarm blaring downstairs. Thought I’d go back to bed, but decided to stay up since I am so productive in the early mornings. Then I thought of this family whose session I haven’t blogged yet.
They have so many reasons to be thankful this year. Not long ago, they were hoping to add to their family of three. A few short years later, they are a family of six, with a caring and generous big brother, a fun and friendly 5 1/2 year old, and two precious, beautiful little girls.
Mom won a mini session with me this fall and it happened to be during the week that their son’s adoption was finalized. I was honored to be a small part of the celebration. Unfortunately, Dad was away that weekend, and I had to cut our shoot a little bit short when I got a call from Paul that he and Xander were on the way to the hospital. (Xander had his first bicycle accident and needed stitches on his chin. He was so brave and is all better now!)
Mom was completely understanding and texted me later to make sure everything was okay. She’s one of those people you could just talk to all day and who so obviously adores her family and is absolutely wonderful to every member.
Here are some of the pictures from our time together…
Last Thanksgiving we enjoyed a quiet day at home catered by Whole Foods. Today we’re looking forward to a relaxing, sweatpants-wearing day with family and new friends. Have a happy day, everyone! I’m so thankful to you for reading my blog!
