Celebrate Adoption Portraits

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share our Celebrate Adoption pics with everyone. I'm trying to decide which ones to order. It's so hard to pick! Help me choose - let me know which ones you like. The link is Cherished Portraits. Enter the site and click on "clients" at the bottom. Password is anderson. Thanks!
