My kid is cool.
Oh, and so is my new fisheye lens.
These guys have been in Singapore for the last three (??) years. And they are now back home in the great state of Texas. They are good friends of our good friends, which pretty much makes them friends too. And they are expecting their third son. I have a feeling the new little guy will have beautiful eyes, quirky expressions, and lovely eyelashes. Just a hunch. What do you think?
A couple of months back, I asked for adoptive families to submit me their family story and a photo. I selected a few families to gift a session and images to. Adoption is close to our heart and I just strongly wanted to give back to some families who have given so much of themselves.
These folks have raised four biological children and they have 12 grandchildren. They began to foster through The Arrow Project several years ago and they have since fostered 33 children!! During the time of fostering, they felt led to adopt these three precious little boys! They decided if Abraham and Sarah could raise a small child later in life, then they could do it too! I fell in love with these boys too, especially the oldest, Robert. I wanted to take him home with me. He has such a calm spirit. His eyes seem so wise to me.
Is God calling YOU to do something remarkable like this family? Could you open your home to beautiful little ones who aren't yours biologically?
I met up with this family a few weeks back. They wanted to get together to get some pictures for G-ma. This ended up being a rather chilly morning for our area, but the kids were troopers and we got some great stuff. Because of the kids' ages, there are some funny "outtakes." You just never know what's going to happen when you're working with kiddos. :-)
There are many more from this session that I really love and want to post, but this is all I can post tonight. These guys are so cute and they are so much fun to hang out with! I'm looking forward to getting to know these guys more as our kids grow up. There are more family members from this session that I'll post just as soon as I can. You know who you are. ;-)
So I'm skipping ahead with these guys. I'm kind of tired of my blog being so terribly behind! I'll go back and post some older stuff as I can find time. I've got several weddings I need to blog. Anyway... I met up with these guys last weekend. They were so much fun and the lighting was just beautiful at one of our local parks. I hope their love shines through in these photos!
Here is a photo of our family. We are made up of two parents, "the biological," "the middles," and "the little one." The "three littles" are adopted!
Adoption is very close to our heart and because of that, I'd like to bless some adoptive families. I'm going to choose about 3-5 adoptive families to receive a free session and edited images on CD ($600 value). There are no strings. There will be no cost whatsoever for those families. All I'm asking is that you send me an email with your adoption story and a snapshot of your family. You can send it to jhintze@jhintze.com. On or around February 13th, I will choose the families that I want to shoot. :-)
These guys came back home for a visit back in July and I was so excited to get to see them and take their photos. They have the sweetest and most well mannered kids! Oh how I wish...
Check out the little one's face. So funny. She was (is) quite a ham as you can tell!
My goal is to spend the next several hours catching up on this darn blog. My guess is that I will go to bed still painfully behind, but at least I can chip away at it. And this is one of my favorite sessions!! This beautiful lady is a photographer friend of mine and her cutey pie boys. You can check out her stuff at Amanda Reich Photography. She's had "the pleasure" of photographing our crazy family and I assure you, hers is much easier to work with. BTW...I've already done another session with these guys since I took these back in APRIL!!
Okay, I know I should be posting client photos that I still haven't posted. I will, promise. But in light of our girls' recent adoption and dedication at church, I'm going to put up just a few more of my kids. Please forgive me!
I used to think that only crazy people have four (plus) kids. And I still pretty much think that. It's just that now we're among the crazy. So anyway, these crazy friends of ours have four awesome and precious kids. These guys are so much fun to hang out with. And I just truly respect the parents of this crew, even if they are crazy.
These are so crazy cute! I finally ordered these 3X3 mini albums of our family photos and I just love them. These come in packs of 3 and are $30 per album, so $90 for all three. They are totally custom per client and can include up to 12 images, including the front and back covers. They also have a nifty magnetic closure. Great for your purse or for grandparents.
Book your session by the end of August, and receive 50 free 5X7 holiday cards. ($50 value) LOTS of designs to choose from. These are just a few examples.
