Our 2nd - first family picture


Let me explain. I wanted to have our family's picture made just after we returned home from Ukraine. Probably not the best idea since our new kiddos are not too familiar with a camera. Macey is still wandering why I'm chasing her around with this black box. Anyway, it just so happens that our church is finishing up with a new church directory. A company comes to the church to take professional pictures to then make into a directory. This doesn't happen very often so we were glad to be home with Marcus and Macey in time to be included. We were only home 4 days before our appointment. We shopped for clothes for the picture and Easter Sunday, they had a dual purpose. So far everything was going good. We all looked great, matching outfits, our appointment was after nap time, all was good. Except for the fact that our new kids are not too photogenic just yet. Poor Macey looked scared to death under all those lights with someone hollering behind a black box (in the dark) telling her to say, cheese. She wasn't having it. Needless to say, we received our free 8x10 for participating but didn't order one to put over the fireplace. I was disappointed but not discouraged.
I received an e-mail from a dear friend of mine who is launching her own professional photography business: www.angiesteedman.com (It's about time girl) I immediately called her and asked if she was up for the challenge of shooting the NEW Dickinson family. She was excited about the opportunity. We met at a local park, dressed casually and just had a good time. My purpose was to have them made so we could document what Marcus and Macey looked like when we got home but also to make a THANK YOU card for all of those who have supported and continue to support our adoption. We are so blessed to have become Marcus and Macey's Forever Family, we want to share them with you.
Mission accomplished!

Family and friends please feel free to visit Angie's website to order your prints of the NEW Dickinson family. Enter your e-mail and Dickinson423 for the password. Let me know if you have any questions. They will only be available for purchase for one month. So order quickly! Thank You for your adoption support and the support of Angie's new business. I would encourage you to contact her to book your next event. You'll be glad you did.
P.S. She has a booking special for the month of May.

Blessings,
Meghan
