FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY+ADOPTION AND FOSTERING WITH LOVE

Something that is so near to my heart and lays heavy with so many others that I know. Something that is His will for some of us.  This something has always been heavy on my heart and often in my mind.  It isn't something you can just ignore, it's something you are called to do and something that will impact your life and others in such a way that wont ever be able to be forgotten.  This something... Adoption. 

This family that is so close to my heart is in the process of adopting two precious little boys to add to their already beautiful family of five.  Stay at home mom and homeschool fanatic Britta is always looking for some new way to serve, some new way to brighten someones day, week, or life in general.  She's become a dear friend to me over the last two years and a light in my life.  Here is a little of the A-team's (Britta's ever growing family) Testimony.

Scott + Britta met in February 1994 and were married seven months later.  Soon after, they welcomed a wild, red headed baby girl onto their team and named her Bailey. Five years later a blonde haired son was born and he was named Simon. Quickly the A-Team was growing because only 21 months later another son, this time with brown hair, joined the family. He was named Silas. Such sweet times…They had Strawberry, Vanilla, & Chocolate and the family felt complete. The A-Team started homeschooling in 2006. This began a journey of discovery for everyone. Also, around this same time a small seed was planted in Britta’s heart for adoption. It took five years for that seed to grow and eventually bloom. At the beginning of 2011 the A-Team started a new adventure; they became licensed for foster adoption. At 1 day old a baby boy joined the A-Team, they named him Solomon. Then only 14 months later another baby boy, this time at 2 days old. They named him Samuel. By the end of 2013 these brothers will become permanent members of the A-Team. This family of 7 also enjoys serving together at their church, camping, bike rides, going to the beach, and just being together. Their story isn’t finished yet…there is much more to come…so stay tuned!!
The A-Team…

I had the honor to photograph this amazing family back in the fall. Go A-Team!
