I have been taking pictures for our foster families. We were on a mission to get all families within our foster agency photographed with their families before Christmas. We succeeded. I shot 35 total I believe. Some of us may not have any friends left or maybe even children that don't remember our names, but by golly we got to bless all the foster families with free portraits. Even Wal-Mart stepped up and printed free 8X10's for each of our families from the photo shoots. Our precious foster families have been blessed indeed!
It is hard to share with you some of the shoots I have been doing b.c we cannot post pictures of our foster children (in any family) but last Saturday I shot a family that I am friends with and a few weekends before that I shot another friend and her siblings. I am super excited and am having so much fun learning new techniques.
This first few are of my sweet friend Abigail. She wanted some pictures taken of her and her siblings for her parents for Christmas. I obliged. She is way too photogenic!! :) Such a cutie!
The second family (and the fun find part of my post) are the end result of my friend Candy's shoot with her two PRECIOUS kiddos! I mean I could no better hand pick such GREAT kids! They are so very polite, generous and very helpful. They are amazing and model after their amazing mother truly! I love this dear family.
(you see this fun green chair... It was sitting behind this "abandoned" building downtown and I asked the guy in charge of leasing the building 'because he just so happened to be there that day' if we could buy it from them. He said we could just have it!!! Thank you Jesus... so we used it for some fun RR track pictures!)
My sister and I also decided to shoot some pictures for our Mom and Dad(s) as well as our grandmothers.
Sorry for neglecting you all and hopefully now for a while I will have a bit of a time where I can share with you more and jump into blogging.
I do have 2 more families coming up this Saturday so hopefully after that I will have a bit of some down time to enjoy the Christmas season and all that entails for a little while before jumping into 2010.

Great pics, Bri! My fave is the first one... awesome! And I love the Christmas blog header.
What new camera did you get? I'm saving up my Sony points to get a new one. I love what I have now, but I really want a back up camera in case one decides to die on an important shoot.
Really what I want is another new lens, but the one I have my eye on is crazy expensive ($1200 ACK!). I figure I'll get it sometime next year and write it off on my taxes as a business expense.
Anyhoo, glad to see your business is growing!
As always teh pics are amazing! That is a great the green chair :) you always have such amazing finds!
Bri, these picture are incredible!!!!!! LOVE the green chair!
