The families I photographed on Monday were refugees. Some were from Burma, some from Burundi, some from Congo. Although our languages were different, I could see their story in their eyes. Such beautiful colors God has made - such beautiful spirits!!! I really loved shooting this session. It was a challenge because of mismatched clothing, children with dirt still on their faces and the language barrier, but it was a session that I would gladly do again. It was such a wonderful experience.
Here are some of my favorite shots from that evening.

This series of work you are doing for St. Al's are absolutely incredible!
Wow melt my heart Cyndee! I'm in love with these photos. Hey, when in doubt of the babies wardrobe? Eh-take the clothes off lol. I wonder if they thought, why are you taking our good clothes we just got-what are these American's all about?
I adore each and every picture-what an emotional shoot.
Thank you, Paige!!! I appreciate the comment!
