Happy New Years Ladies! My husband and I are in the process of adopting our second child and need to have pictures of the two of us doing "activities" together. The problem is finding things to do (while arranging to have another adult there to take pictures). I was wondering if anyone had any fun, creative ideas of what we can do together. I am just out of ideas. Thanks!

What can I do next?

hmm...that's kind of a tough one. How are you suppose to get pictures of the two of you if there's no one else there?HAHA! Funny. Do both of you have to be in the same picture? You could always get a tripod and set it up to take some photos. Playing in the snow would be a great activity, board games, cards, playing ball...all that kind of stuff.If you decide to do the activities all in one day, make sure you change your clothes. You don't want it to look like you took them all in the same day ;) Do you scrapbook or do any crafts? That would be something good too.

I'm not sure you can really plan much and still look natural and lighthearted for your photos. The only idea that I came up with is- Why don't you have a get together? Family and maybe a few close friends. Have dinner. Potluck style usually goes over well. Set up some games like tables for cards, board games, any other games you might enjoy together. Ask a few people to bring their cameras and snap off photos every so often as they see fit. Then ask for double prints. I would offer to pay some of the cost of film and developing and such. I'm sorry that's the best I can really come up with. Good luck with your adoption. We are actually trying to go through the same thing right now with my nephew. I'll say a prayer tonight for us both. Maybe 2008 will be our year! Shannon G.

A friend of mine is going through the adoption process as well. She made a video of her home and family and such. I thought it was very creative!
