mini-session photography fundraiser

on saturday, august 11, we held our first of three photography fundraisers!  ashley carved out three half-hour portrait sessions and all four were filled quickly.  unfortunately, one family had to back out due to unforeseen business travel.  but you know what?  that precious family sent us a donation anyway AND rescheduled to take their portraits at a later, more convenient date!  praise God!

the two families that came really braved the heat.  it had been hovering around 105 all day.  even though we were shooting in the shade later in the day, it was still in the upper nineties.  whew!  both families were such good sports and came prepared with joyful hearts and ready smiles.  it.  was.  a.  blast!

the first family is a jolly bunch that my husband has known since he was little.  i had the priviledge of shooting their four girls two years ago and it was so fun to see how much they have grown up!  they are each so unique - it really showed up in their portraits, i think.

 

the second family was a new client!  they have been following ashley's photography for awhile now and took the opportunity to join our adoption journey with the mini-session fundraiser.  it is always fun to meet new people and capture their "joyful togetherness" with a camera.  this family is so sweet with two BEAUTIFUL children!  we'll excited to get them know when even better since they have already scheduled another session in october for Christmas present portraits!  

 

a HUGE thank you to all the clients that joined us for the fundraiser.  it was a JOY to spend time with each of you!  thank you for helping us inch closer to bringing our ghana baby home.
