were a beautiful family of 5.\u00c2\u00a0 God had certainly already blessed them beyond measure with three amazing and beautiful daughters.\u00c2\u00a0 But their story had another chapter to be written&#8230; knowing that God&#8217;s plan for their family involved bringing home children who needed a forever home prompted them to start another journey &#8211; adoption.\u00c2\u00a0 What a beautiful thing it is to see people give so much in order to bring joy and life to those who desperately need it.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 With two new amazing (&amp; irresistable) little smiles joining them, they have begun their journey as a family of 7.<\/p>\n<p>We are blessed to know them, minister beside them and call them friends (and I so enjoyed tromping through the weeds with them)!\u00c2\u00a0 Here are a few sweet moments from our evening shoot together!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone
