Cameron was reaching his "I'm Done" point and so Jen was talking him into just a few more shots...
Tayla is older then Charles by 11 months, she was always taking care of little brother, she still is mother hen when we get them together ...


Children change and grow so fast, we don't always think of the small details in their lives, like hands. I got them interested in the grain of the wood so that I could get a natural looking shot.

The end of anouther fabulas summer. The weather is just beginning to change.
Maybe we need a reminder to take time to watch the clouds go by....



This is called 'not sweating the small stuff'...

This is Tayla and her brother Charles (Cameron). We got them together so I could photograph them for Jared and Christie and families. We had a date scheduled and the night before Charles got hit by a toy and had a swollen lip. I had done Tay's hair in ringlets and she looked angelic. So it figures that the day we were able to take the pictures was a busy one for me and so I didn't have the time to do her hair. Oh well, I figured that she looks like the Tay I see everyday. I just love this shot! The honesty and joy in their faces say it all...

The beginning

I am now officially joining the blogging community. I have been wanting to do this for some time, but life keeps pushing it to the back of my list of "to do's." But one event in the life of my family has helped bump this to the foreground, the upcoming adoption of our beautiful Tayla. So as we venture on this milestone I want to share this, and all of the other crazy, insane and fabulas things that happen in our home with our family, and extended adoptive family. I will do my best to stay up-to-date on important and ordinary events (although life really is anything but ordinary) with all those who care to "peek in and visit" for awhile...
