This posts makes no sense unless you know that we recently adopted our 3 year old son, Zane, from Eastern Europe.  We’ve had him 3 weeks now, and 1 of those weeks was overseas.  He has esophageal atresia, which means his esophagus doesn’t connect to his stomach (he’ll have surgery to correct that) and is […]

Meet Chris… she’s the reason we found our son.  She saw his face and knew right away he needed to be adopted.  First, she tried to add him to her family.  She was already in process to adopt from the same country, so it made sense, but she hit permanent roadblocks.  Then she contacted everyone she […]

We’re happy to announce that our whole little family is finally on the same continent!  Today was affectionately referred to as Gotcha Day.  The day we were united with our son forever– and we never have to let him go!  It was also the first time our kids met.  Both were incredible, and it was […]

A year ago today we found our son.  366 days since we first laid eyes on a picture of that beautiful wide eyed boy.  The one with the wild hair and his lips pursed just so.  Those chubby cheeks and button nose.  It’s been a crazy year and I want to take a look back […]

Monday, January 4, 2016 I sat down in a Starbucks determined to edit an entire wedding in one day.  I succeeded!  While I was exporting some photos I took a quick break and saw the cutest little boy on Facebook.  My friend posted this alongside the picture: I have lots of friends who share posts […]

Can I wave my proud mama flag for a minute?  Hazel has taken over my old point and shoot camera.  She carries it around and takes pictures of things when she finds inspiration and it’s adorable.  Every time I leave for a wedding or session she begs to come with me and help out.  She’s […]

This little boy– he’s been on this earth for 3 years and we only found him 8 months ago.  During those three years, he’s had 4 major surgeries and countless doctor appointments.  $19,000 into this process, we finally got to meet him last week and it was nothing short of amazing.  In a few more months, […]

I didn’t know it that day, but that’s the day a seed was planted for Fowler Studios.  I was in Brunswick, GA on a business trip when my mom called and told me my nieces had been born… three months early.  One passed away shortly after birth and the other was tiny, but a fighter.  Kyah […]

Back in January we shared some really big news… we fell in love with a sweet little boy and within hours started the adoption process.  You can read about it and watch our announcement video here. We haven’t updated a ton because, well, it’s pretty standard.  Tons of paperwork and so far we haven’t had any updates […]

I wasn’t nervous as I stood in the back of the church that day.  I was so excited I started jumping up and down, big white dress and all.  My white flip flops from David’s Bridal were flopping up and down, so I decided to take them off before I walked down the aisle.  No […]
