神所賜福的家庭
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.

Happy 4th to you! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day to your family, as well. Wow... 4 steps! Go lace up your running shoes. It won't be long before you're chasing her all over God's creation.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fourth to you too!! Big girl, Hannah!! You go, girl :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Fourth to your little Miss Independent! Enjoy the holiday weekend... and chasing after your new walker.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th!
ReplyDeleteTHat picture is just adorable. You can tell how proud she is of herself!
Too cute!! What kind of shoes does she have on? (Maybe a closeup??!)
ReplyDeleteHannah's wearing Victoria Black/Silver Pedipeds. Used from Ebay at half price! She's growing out of 6-12 month Pedipeds and moving into 12-18 months. Yay for growing little feet! But... the tank top my little quirt has on today is 3-6 months.
ReplyDeleteOh! Here's a link for the shoes so you can see what they look like. I think they're pretty rock in roll! http://www.pediped.com/Product/ProductInfo.aspx?id=131
ReplyDeleteCute shoes! Thanks for the link --but they don't match perfectly!! What's up with that? ;)
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteHAppy 4th!
xoxo,
A
Anon, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly would tell us that black and silver are neutrals and they're not supposed to match. :P
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always so great. Do you take tons of pictures and pick the best or are you just good? I am always impressed.
ReplyDeleteI love following your journey. We have been waiting 20 months now with St. Lucys JOH pogram.
Your daughter is an angel. Victoria

Victoria, Thanks! That's so sweet. I take tons of photos when we do a little session. Like tonight for the "American Girl" series... I took about 80 photos only posted 7 of them.... and only posted them after adjusting the white balance, boosting the color, cropping, sharpening the eyes, and making them a little softer. I would say that the most important thing is to take lots and put the focus point on the eyes. Sometimes having a "rapid fire" feature is really helpful to just let the camera click click click click rapidly over 20 seconds or so. Toddlers move so fast! Hannah RARELY looks at the camera, so I think of it as a blessing if I ever get a shot where she's looking right at me and I can see my reflection in her eyes.
