I had an amazing session today with a huge family!! Big families are not something that I'm used to photographing, but I'm so glad that I took this session! I got to meet and get to know these awesome people today and they made me feel right at home! Each family was color matched, which i thought was awesome and it helped me remember who was who :) The Orange family were the ones that booked the session at their home on over 200 acres of land, complete with a pet pig, (i believe her name was Rosie) chickens and more! Their home is a 105 year old farm house and I loved every second of being there! The Red family - well, I feel very blessed to have met them. As we got to talking I found out that they are missionaries in Uganda and have been for 6 years! The mommy even gave birth to their daughter there! Their story made me cry and it was a nice reminder that no matter how crazy things seem to be in this world that there are still people that are listening God and spreading his word! The Brown family do not live in WV either! They live like 800 miles away. They have 3 older children and a set of 7 month old TRIPLETS! The babies were so good and patient,even in the hot, blazing sun! Overall - I had an awesome afternoon with this big ol family!! Thank you for having me!! Have 10 friends/family members comment on your sneak peek and leave their names and get a free 5X7 of your choice :)
On another note - visit http://www.newhopeuganda.org/ and http://www.orphanheart.blogspot.com/ there's no doubt it will open your eyes and pull at your heart! Also, please keep the McFarland family (the ones in red) in your prayers as they continue Gods work in Uganda!
Hey Heather,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say that I think it is amazing that you have found your calling so early in life (doesn't seem like that long ago when we were all working at Bob's together and wishing we would hurry up and graduate). Anyway, I don't know if this counts but almost all of last year I drove the school bus for the orange family kids. I had to transfer back to Elkview to be closer to home. It was a very hard decision. All the kids (especially J and his brother and sisters) were the most amazing kids, the area was beautiful and all the people I met around there were wonderful. I hope this comment can help them. :-)
Beautiful families and beautiful pictures once again.
