Our New Addition

It's amazing how quickly time passes...but this time I have a great excuse! Mike and I have spent the last 10 days traveling to Ethiopia via 2 days in Rome to meet OUR SON for the first time! We were there to meet him, love on him, and appear in court as a part of our adoption proceedings. It was an AMAZING trip and one that we have written a lot about here. We are home now but are hopeful to be returning within the next 4-8 weeks to bring our boy home. Now we just wait for the US Embassy to clear our file and confirm an embassy appointment that will make him an official US citizen. We covet your thoughts and prayers as we wait!

I hate to do a post without a pictures so here's one of me and my son! I'm in love! (We can't post pictures of his face until we travel to bring him home)

Twin Blessings {Paducah Maternity Photographer}

This sweet momma scheduled with me weeks ago to make sure we got this session in before she got too far along since she is having TWINS! I was so excited and looking forward to our appointment and two weeks before our scheduled session she was put on bedrest. I just assumed we would have to cancel but she persevered! She was able to get privileges to get up for about an hour a day so we rearranged our plans and set up in their dining room so she would only have to be out of the recliner for minimal amount of time. They are expecting twin girls and their big brother was excited to tell me all about the babies! I loved being with him and seeing him express his love to his little sisters!


Isn't momma just radiant? These little girls have been prayed about for years and are the answers to the desires of their heart to add more children to their family.


A quiet moment....I don't think there will be too many of those to come in the next few months.


Isn't she gorgeous?!?! She was such a natural in front of the camera and the morning was such a blessing to me. I can't wait to hold those little girls after they are done "cooking" for SEVERAL more weeks!




Some other exciting news for Darling by Design Photography.....

Come On Spring....

The snow we have experienced has been beautiful but I'm ready to be done with it. I even went out to play in the snow and enjoyed taking all kinds of fun pictures. I meant to post them here but I have been enjoying my down time a little too much. I did post them on our adoption blog so if you would like to see them, you can find them here.

Tonight though I am excited for Spring to come so we can get back outdoors and start taking beautiful pictures again. Here is a little reminiscing of Spring images from last year.








I'm so ready for the color and warm temps. I'm ready to blog again with some of the great sessions that I already have lined up.

If you are interested in a session get in touch with me soon....Also, be on the lookout for some changes that will be coming soon!
