Family Beginnings

   Jake and Jessi Schwertfeger have been close friends of my husband and mine for quite a few years now. Doug (my husband) and Jake started their friendship in high school, and continued to be close through out their years away at college and now the beginnings of married life! For the past couple of years Jake and Jessi have been located in Zambia, Africa following their passion of reaching out to those who have not heard the good news of Christ. While living in Zambia, Jake and Jessi fell in love with an orphaned baby girl named Sunda. After loving her back to health, they made the decision to make Sunda a permanent part of their family and adopted her as their own daughter. This past fall Jake, Jessi, and Sunda came back to the states to spend the holidays with family and friends, and to show off Jessi's baby bump! While visiting with the Schwertfeger's I had the wonderful opportunity of spending some time with Jessi, photographing her with Sunda and Jake. They are such a beautiful family, and this past Saturday they welcomed little baby Kya as their new addition! Soo, these are a little late coming but I guess its always better late then never!

Congrats and God Bless!!
