Hello All! Yesterday we went to Lake Michigan and had our family photo taken by Amy Carroll. Amy is an amazing photographer from Grand Rapids, MI. I found her online as I searched the Celebrating Adoption website. Below is the description of a "Celebrating Adoption" photo session taken from there own website. What a blessing to us who have adopted, professional photography can be expensive (especially after commonly spending thousands upon thousands to adopt). I have always wanted a family photo taken on Lake Michigan with all "The Bunch". Yesterday my dream was realized, thank you Amy!!!!!!! Amy is gifted and her photography is absolutely amazing, swing by and check out more of her work on her blog. Sometime soon our Bunch's photos should appear on her blog. I will let you know when so I can brag about my cute kids : ) To all adoptive families out in the Blogosphere Celebrating Adoption is nationwide, so go by and check it out.
**** Update ~Here is the Permalink to Amy's blog post with our photos in it. She just posted it on her blog today. I love the photos : ) Yeah!!!!!! Thanks again, Amy!!
What is a Celebrating Adoption session?
If you are an adoptive family and have adopted your child within the last year, you qualify for a Celebrating Adoption session.
You will receive a complimentary "parent & child" portrait session (session fee is waived) and a small set of proofs. The size and quantity of proofs, as well as whether proofs will be loose or bound into a proof book, has been left to the discretion of each photographer. Each photographer sets his or her own policies. Travel fees and additional subject fees may still apply.
***Our volunteers give 100% of their time, talent and goods to do this work. Please do not abuse the organization by scheduling more than one photographer per child or adoption. Please due not abuse the generosity of CA photographers.
***Due to the requirement of the adoption having taken place within the past twelve months and the charitable contribution of the photographers, you may be asked to show proof of the adoption date.
