Beyond Thrilled with our Celebrating Adoptions Photo Shoot

We had our Celebrating Adoptions photo session yesterday. I gotta tell you it wasn't an easy task trying to wrangle up all four kids to take a group picture. We worked with our photographer and she had the patience of an angel. I think I lost about 10 lbs in the Florida heat with these kids yesterday but it was well worth it. She already called me so we could view the first few shots she liked. She'll be posting more tomorrow. She took some awesome ones of my girls with tu-tus having a tea party outside that I'm dying to see.

You can view them by going to Broward County - Ft. Lauderdale Family, Child and Maternity Photographer - Lori Barrett

We are beyond excited to have these.
