Baby Feet - Two Hours Old

This week we adopted a beautiful baby girl named Eden Joy (our tenth child, sixth adopted). She is absolutely precious (and all those other mushy words). Eden’s birth mother said after her birth, “Today I am going to give the greatest gift I could ever give”.  We agree — Eden is truly a great gift from God and a great responsibility which God will help us fulfill. “Every good and perfect gift is from above…”, James 1:17.

No real “photography” stuff in this post.  The pictures aren’t contrived or posed.  I paid (a little) attention to composition, reflections in the nursery window,  and what aperture I used but otherwise was just caught up in the excitement of the day.  Post-processing was minimal with white balance being the most necessary adjustment.  I did re-learn a lesson about shooting in fluorescent lighting but more on that some other time.  Some random pictures below…
