Hi. I'm Sarah. He's Kevin. The little ones are Hannah and Hudson. We're a family, blessed with our children via international adoption. Hannah Claire and Hudson Ray were lovingly cared for in Taiwan, placed into our arms on 12.29.08 and 6.13.12, and things haven't been quite the same since. Hallelujah!
"By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary. They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." - Author unknown
We have a Canon EOS 7D. The lenses I work with include a 24-70mm f/2.8L, 85mm f/1.8, and 50mm f/1.8.
There's been a little button at the top of my blog's sizebar for a little while now. My friend Rebecca is having a HUGE FUNDRAISER to help bring home their son Owen (aka Bing-Bing) from China. This fundraiser is a giveaway with a suggested $10 donation per entry. The prize list is HUGE and contains so much that you're just going to have to go to the "To China for Owen" site to check it out. The first prize is a "mamarazzi dream package" with valued over $2,550.00 that includes a Canon Rebel XSI camera. Once again, the prize list is just HUGE, so be sure to check out the site.
As a way to encourage donations, I've pledged to make a custom glass tile pendant for everyone who donates $50 or more. I am making the pendants with decorative Japanese papers and photos. The drawing is Saturday, November 22nd, so you've got one week left to make your donations for your entries. I started making pendants this weekend, and you can take look at that they look like. These are not for sale... only available as my gift to you as a thank you.
Oh my GOODNESS Sarah! They are the most beautiful pendants I've ever seen, SERIOUSLY! The Koi one has my name on it... can I donate to myself and get it??? :) You are such an artiste! Wow.
