You can’t tell by looking at these pictures, but six years ago this adorable family faced the toughest mountain anyone could climb.

There were only three of them then…mommy, daddy, and sweet little Annabelle Joy. Heartbreakingly they had to say goodbye to their first sweet little baby, when they found out she was born with a very rare genetic disorder called SCID (or severe combined immunodeficiency disorder), also know as “Bubble Boy Disease.”

It was a dark time without a whole lot of light. This type of heartbreaking reality can destroy a family, and their story was almost no different.

And then?

Faith.

Despite all of the odds this couple came together in their belief that God had a plan for there lives. A plan for their story. Instead of falling apart, they fell together into the arms of their beloved father! In spite of the odds (1 in 4), Audrey and Kyle went on to have two completely healthy children! first precious little Noah, and then lastly…another little girl, Victoria.

Named for the way this family defines themselves now; Victorious! Overcoming what the enemy meant for harm, just like their savior did so many years ago.

God continues to bless this family, returning what has been lost to them 10 fold in this life, and even more in the life to come. (Luke 18:30)

It was my absolute honor to capture the pure joy that is this inspirational family.
