The details. finally.
The Johnsons, an amazing family, have decided to adopt.
Julie has been a dear friend of mine since our college days and we have walked a lot of life together.
She and Ian have two beautiful children, Ori and Calla.
God has called them...quite strongly I might add...to expand their hearts and make room for a sweet little one from China. You can read more about their journey to adoption here, here, here, and here.

Now for you and me.
I do photography.
I used to do it a lot...
weddings, seniors, families, children, babies.
Then life got busy and I slowed down quite a bit with photography...
but in the past few years I have started it back up again.
Slowly. No advertising. All word of mouth. One or two every month.
It has been perfect for me.
But when things like this adoption come up...all i can think about is helping. somehow. Contributing. somehow. Making an impact. somehow...
and photography is the only way i know how.
So here is the deal...
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10th I will be doing an all day photo shoot at
The Mining Museum.
I am going to be doing 30 minute mini sessions for $55.
You will receive 10-12 edited photos on a CD with a copyright release for your printing pleasure.
Did you read that closely?
A mini shoot for $55!!!! That is a STEAL!
I normally charge $200 for a session...we are talking $55!!!!
And it is going to a great cause...bringing home a CHILD to a forever family.
ALL of the money I raise will go straight to the Johnson's adoption.
You get photos. The Johnson's get one step closer to bringing their little one home.
Everyone wins.
(All photos shown were taken at The Mining Museum by Laura Moffat Photography)
Love wins.
A few things to remember:
- These are mini shoots. That means you need to decide what type of photo you would most like to capture in the time slot. (example: If you are hoping to get a family picture then that is exactly what you will get! woowhoo! But I will not have time to do a family picture, kids individual pictures, siblings together, etc. Make sense? If you want more than one grouping please purchase two mini sessions)
- Remember that this a fundraiser and we are blessing another family tremedously! I won't stop you if you would like to contribute anything additionally :)
- We are going to have fun!

I am SO interested!!! But, I'll be out of town on the 10th. If the weather is bad, and you have to reschedule for any reason, please let us know. I'd love to have an updated family picture.
Your pictures are beautiful!
And congratulations to the Johnsons!
what an awesome idea, let me know if you do it again, josie is having her tonsils out the wed before and i'm guess won't be up for smiling for the camera :)
Dang!! Why are we not in Colorado for this?!?
ok, we want to sign up for two sessions back to back so we can do kid and family pictures. can we do the 1pm-2pm time slot if it's still available? I'm hoping everyone will be happy and agreeable in between naps.:) Cannot wait!
Sign us up! Morning would be good for us. Great idea!
Sign me up for pictures of the Ngo kids. Love you. Mom

Hi Laura, I just came over from Julie's blog. We live here in the Springs and would love to support this but we are out of town on the 10th. If you decide to re-schedule, do a second day of mini-shoots or anything like that, please let us know! Thanks!! Kelly
