LIAM'S ADOPTION STORY // PART 1 // THE FIRST MEET


Ashley and Kurt are a force of love with which to reckon. They journeyed from Missouri to adopt their precious boy, Liam, accompanied by Ashley's father, Pastor Mark, while gramma watched their daughter, Evy, back at home. It was the culmination of over a year of paperwork and prayers, of waiting and wishing.

The photos here are from the first time that the Lancasters came face-to-face with Liam and his incredible foster family. They were matched by DJ at Holt International in March, and have been in close contact ever since.

This was truly a watermark moment for me personally and professionally. I felt humbled in the presence of such unconditional love. I feel lucky to have been a witness and to have helped them tell their story.
