Baci Ceremony

Saturday, Nathan and I got the opportunity to run down to Fort Smith and shoot the reception for a traditional Laos Baci Ceremony.  If you have never heard of one of these ceremonies, it is a way that the Laotian community welcomes a member back after recovering from an illness, or overcoming some sort of obstacle.  Our great friend, Christina, invited us down to celebrate in her mother's recovery from Cancer.  What a sweet and precious family they have!  The people are all so very giving and welcoming and I think everyone had a great time!  At the end, all the ladies did this really cool traditional dance all together in sync!  Take a look.  Thanks so much for welcoming us to share in this special occasion!  Here is your picture preview.  To view the entire gallery click here. (should be up by Wednesday!)
