Refuge House

Refuge House is an organization that brings foster care and adoption to children that are in need of parents to love them. The staff threw a modest party for the families and I was hired to shoot santa and family pictures.

How fortunate I felt to have met the parents in that room! They are truly walking saints. Some were individual couples with a few children, some were small 'homes' where handfuls of children live together. Some children were adopted and some were in a foster situation. Whatever the circumstances were, these children laughed and bounced VERY high in the bounce houses without a care in the world! The happiness in the room was because of the individuals who put the needs of the children first. And it all started with Refuge House.

I wish I could show you every one of the families I met, but there isn't enough blog space. So here is just a small glimpse of my afternoon until I am able to edit and upload all of the pictures.

I love the innocence in these eyes! They were more than willing to stop jumping to take a picture...but only for a second!
