We’re very excited to announce that we’ve joined a fabulous organization, Celebrating Adoption. Here’s more about it from the web site and the founder, Jenifer Samaha.

‘CA is an organization of photographers dedicated to promoting adoption. Our participating photographers are very different: some shoot with natural light while others use studio light; some prefer posing the subject while others prefer the spontaneity of lifestyle photography; but we all have one thing in common, the desire to celebrate your adoption with you!

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 portrait session (session fee is waived) and a set of proofs.

***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.

How do I schedule a session?

Please contact a participating photographer in your area to discuss scheduling and locations. Each photographer schedules his or her own portrait sessions. Because of the free nature of these sessions, many photographers will need to limit their Celebrating Adoption sessions per month, so call early to plan for your session.’

Due to RWP schedule we can only offer a limited number of sessions. However, we will work to accommodate you whenever possible. If you’d like to schedule a session with us, just drop us a line or give us a call. Also, to learn more about the organization, please visit the web site by clicking the CA image below.

Also, don’t forget we’re also a member of Operation: Love Reunited. You can read more about that fantastic organization here.

It’s such an honor for us to be a member of these organizations. If you’re not in our area, be sure to check out each of the orgs’ web sites to find a participating photographer in your area!

RWP has a brand new, sleek site now, coupled with an even better splash page.

I’ve been wanting a new splash page for months now, something me, something different, but couldn’t figure out what I wanted (not to mention I’m not nearly that talented in designing things like this), but it finally all came together!

You’ll have to visit the site to see the new look, but here’s an idea of how awesome it is– the new splash page, designed by my ever so talented and generous friend, Anja (thanks soooooo much, Anja, I absolutely LOVE it!!!):

Though, to get the full effect you really MUST see it large. Just click on the image to be taken there!

In other very exciting news, I am glaucoma free. Not to say I ever had it, I haven’t. But found out today that I don’t, so something to celebrate!

More at six and ten.

It’s truly odd to google something and find your images in the first few returns in the search.  This is only one of several searches that returned similar results.  Whoda thunk it?  Although, I guess all the same it’s not that amusing.  Who knows where my images end up.  Nature of the beast, I guess.  A reminder– please don’t steal.
