Giving Is Awesome!

Back in December, I participated in the Giving Is Awesome Project. People nominated families to receive the gift of custom portraits from Lifestyle Images. The Foriest family received one of these gifts. Their story was on our local news when it happened--their house burned down and they lost everything. Mom and all ten kids were in the house at the time the fire started, but miraculously escaped unharmed.

This was a big challenge for me, since I don't do a lot of big families. But it was fun, and the kids were great! Kudos to mom and dad for raising such well-behaved children! Anytime you take ten kids ranging in age from 13 down to 8 months out in public, it's got to be a challenge, right?



Here's a sneak preview from the session last night. Enjoy!

That baby is the funniest part of it all!! He is looking at them like they are crazy in the first one (which I LOVE!!) and then passed out by the end. Great work!

LOL, the photos are actually posted in reverse order--he was passed out cold in the car when they arrived. He was getting passed around from person to person and never blinked and eye for the first 30 minutes. I was beginning to think he wasn't going to wake up at all!
