Black and White Wednesday - Another Photo Shoot.

Since I'm on a roll these days - I thought I'd post some shots from a Christmas card shoot I did recently.

This is sweet Miss Sonia, whom we have known since she landed on Canadian soil with her new mama and papa - some lovely friends of ours - over two years ago now.
It was such fun to watch her monkey it up in front of my camera. This was her choice of outfit - her mama picks her battles - this was not one of them. Her mom and I thought she made a perfect princess - especially with marker on her hands.
(What....not every princess uses markers? Check the manual!)

I love how kids are just natural "hams". They really do have beans in their heads.

What a cutie! You really have taken your photography to the next level. Love these! Can I bring my kids up for a photo shoot? I bet they would behave a lot better than they do with their mommy! You should have seen my xmas card shoot. What a joke! I even had my hubby there to help....need I say more? Let's just say he couldn't read my mind on what he was suppose to do. Imagine that! ;-)

Happy Wednesday Wanda! Keep warm...

Hugs,
Grace

She is so adorable...I would have to say that the b&w's are by far my favorite but sometimes I find I am partial to those;) I love the marker...that would be my Kya! And that wink just made me crack up!

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!) We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home. This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God. My (growing) family. Hangin' out with my girlies. My wonderful friends (you know who you are!). To laugh (out loud and a lot!). Music. Painting. Hugs. Long chats with my buds. My garden. To read (ha...when I can!). Sunshine. Spring, Spring and more Spring. Building things. Cooking. Decorating. Parties (ahem). The internet. Life. Movies. A.I. Dancing with the stars. So you think you can dance. Travel. Umm..did I say laughing my head off. Oh Gee...everything actually!!
