The Elliotts at Home

Hello All!

Our adoption process is inching along... getting the little things done on the dossier paperwork while we wait for the FBI to get our most recent round of background checks done (this is the third and final set).

One of the items that needed to be prepared was a set of photos showing our home life. One of our dear friends - who is a very accomplished professional photographer - came and snapped and clicked away and captured our life so beautifully.

Here is a picture of us!

Yes, this is the first picture that our child will see of his or her new mommy and daddy! (Well, if the orphanages even do that... I get mixed stories about if these photo are just for the officials or for introducing us to our kid.) But, yes, that is what we look like.

She took photos of us doing all the things we love... reading, playing board games, baking. We were photographed preparing our new kiddo's room and in every room of our apartment, hanging out on our balcony, even walking by the lake. In the end, I think that who ever sees these photos will have a pretty comprehensive view of our life at home.

(By the way, if you are interested in her services, our friend does photo shoots all over the DC metro area. Just let me know and I will connect you with her. We highly recommend her! )

I can't wait to have her come and do another photo shoot of our new addition to the family... once the dust settles, that is!
