FOTOS4FOSTERS

A community-service project by Summer Stone

Every childhood deserves to be remembered.

Free photography for children and families touched by foster care.

Heart Led

Born from my lived experience and my desire to give other children the memories I never had.

Community Driven

A simple local service in South Baldwin County built to support children and families touched by foster care.

Brighter Tomorrows

Because photographs can become part of a child’s story, identity, and sense of belonging.

Why Fotos4Fosters began

Hi, it's me, Summer!Behind the camera, with the best seat in the house!

I was in the foster care system until I was 11 years old, and I don’t have any photos of myself from birth through age 11.

Because I don’t have those memories to look back on, I started Fotos4Fosters—to help other foster children and families preserve the moments, faces, and stages of life that deserve to be remembered.

Every child deserves a story in pictures.

Who we serve

Free photography for families touched by foster care in South Baldwin County — for residents & visitors

Sessions are available for children currently in foster care, children who were previously in foster care, adoptive families, and others whose lives have been shaped by the foster-care journey.

Childhood Memories

The little things can become the biggest memories. We want children to have photographs to look back on someday.

Milestone Photos

Senior portraits and meaningful life moments that deserve a place in the family story.

How it works

Simple. Private. Completely free.

Each session is free and includes a private online gallery of professionally edited digital images. Families can download their photographs and print them anywhere they choose.

For children currently in foster care, we always respect privacy and permission requirements, and we never share photographs publicly without proper authorization.

More than a photograph

Memories can become part of a child’s story.

Fotos4Fosters exists to make sure more children have something real to look back on someday—the faces, the laughter, the milestones, and the people who were there.

Kind words from the families behind the memories

What People are Saying

"Summer took our Foster Daughter's senior photos. It was a fun experience for her and we loved the images so much that we printed them to mail to friends and family instead of the formal invitations"

Hello!

Whether you’re ready to request a free session or simply have a question, I’d love to hear from you.

About the free session

Sessions are 15 minutes and are intended for the immediate family fostering or adopting a child. I’ll photograph everyone together and also make individual portraits of the foster/adoptive child.

How can I help?
Are you a current or former foster parent? *

A gentle reminder: these complimentary sessions are for the immediate family fostering or adopting a child. During the 15-minute session, I’ll make group photos of everyone together plus individual photos of the foster/adoptive child.
