Giving Back — Celebrating Adoption Session
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010Wow the summer is truly flying by this year. I am not sure where it is going, but do know we are having fun, but at the same time I long for the structure school starting will bring to our days.
Yesterday was one of those “fall” like days, that reminds us the heat of summer will soon be leaving us for a while, and I the pleasure of meeting Mr. S and his family for a Celebrating Adoption session. These are free sessions that I donate to families that have recently adopted a child (well technically the session should happen in the first year after adoption).
Mr. S was like every almost two year old I know — busy and on the go. I love that age because the smiles are so genuine (when they happen) and they are so clearly curious about life. In fact Mr. S loves the water so much we had to focus our session at Lake Nokomis in areas where the water was hidden from his view. I do not often get to go down into “the cities” and had forgotten the wonderful charm that Lake Nokomis and the area around it has. The old buildings are still up at the main beach and are a beautiful reminder of our cities history. The lush trees and paths around the park are the perfect spot for family photo sessions. In fact I plan to take my tribe down there soon, just to explore the area and have a mini session of our own.
I truly enjoyed photographing and playing soccer/football with him. He has such an lovely smile and was so quick — almost too quick for even me and my camera. However, don’t worry Mom and Dad I got so many different expressions from fun and silly to an outright laugh, I hope you like your sneak peak!~
