Russ and Janna belonged to a church that really influenced them and their faith. They dived into Bible studies and hosted multiple long term groups in their home. They studied a variety of topics and their faith flourished.  

 

In 2016 they started praying for God to speak to them and asked for Him to reveal His will for their lives. 

 

Janna began working as a Guardian ad Litem in 2017. She was an advocate for children in foster care. Shortly after she began she was assigned to a case with three children ages 2,3 and 5 that were all separated and in different foster homes. 

 

Janna continued praying fervently for Gods direction in the couples life.   

 

In 2018 the couple began the paperwork to become foster parents. They were willing to help out any children, but really wanted to get these three kids from her case to be able to live together. 

 

They were approved to foster and on August 31, 2019 these three beautiful babies moved in and they all became an instant family!!

After years of ups and downs, lots of waiting on the legal system and even more praying for Gods will over the situation….God blessed them on May 5, 2023. The adoption was official!

 

They truly became a family on August 31st, 2019 when the kids moved in and the adoption date made it final through the legal system. God is good and they are super blessed family. They prayed consistently, were still and waited patiently for Gods timing, and were obedient to Gods plan. It wasn’t an easy journey, but it’s the journey that God wanted them to be on.

Aren’t they gorgeous? I’m so happy to share this adoption story with you.

Celebrating Baby Cameron's Second Birthday: A Joyous Milestone for the Bowers Family

 

As a photographer, there are moments that truly touch your heart and become cherished memories. Capturing the growth and milestones of a family is such a privilege. Recently, I had the pleasure of celebrating baby Cameron's second birthday with Bowers Family Portraits.

Baby Cameron, the youngest member of the Bowers clan has an infectious laugh and radiant smile with the cutest little dimples. As I have done for all his siblings, I documented and captured his birthday milestone through my lens.

 

Turning two is a significant milestone in a child's life, marking a time of exploration, growth, and curiosity. As I clicked away, capturing Cameron's infectious giggles and playful antics, I couldn't help but reflect on the beauty of these fleeting moments. Time passes quickly, but photographs have the incredible power to freeze these memories in time, allowing us to relive them over and over again.

To the Bowers family, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family journey, capturing the growth and milestones of your beautiful children. Baby Big Boy Cameron, may your life be filled with endless wonder, love, and joy. Happy second birthday, little one!

I truly enjoy having played a small part in preserving the magic of The Bowers Family. Here's to many more years of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories!
