Earlier this month I had the honor of doing a photo session with Taly, who is the newly adopted daughter of my friend (and former boss) Deirdre. Taly is 5 years old and came home with Deirdre from Ecuador in February. Deirdre also brought back this beautiful outfit - traditional dress of Ecuador - for Taly to wear in the shoot. Taly is a fun, active, happy little girl who will be keeping Deirdre very busy! :) We look forward to seeing more of her, as she is very close in age to my daughter. Here are a couple of my favorite pix from the shoot.
Fyi, Deirdre is an artist who owns her own jewelry design business, Deirdre Handcrafted Jewelry (which I used to work for!). You can check out her really cool stuff at
www.deirdreandcompany.com. If you're looking for an original gift or just something fresh and new for yourself, her stuff is perfect. And if you know anyone who has adopted overseas, she has a new line for adopted children and families, which make very special gifts. Check it out!
