I recently had the honor of photographing a sweet teen in search of her family forever. I know belong to a group of photographers that give their time and talent to The Heart Gallery of Oregon. Check out their site, it's beautiful and touching.

Here they are! Aren't they cute! It's so hard to take a picture and have them all look at you but I tell ya, my Sully pez dispenser on my camera works every time!
