How do you accurately describe or truly capture the moment when your family is finally united? We started the process to Amon in August of 2010. We made our way through paperwork and our homestudy and our dossier and were placed on the wait list in November 2010. And there we stayed for the next almost 18 months before we saw his sweet face. This process was crazy difficult. The wait was long and life was happening all around us. Life changed dramatically while in the wait with the passing of my Mom. Life got hard…still is so very hard without her. I knew our homecoming was going to be so emotional and wonderful and sad all wrapped into one…I knew I wanted someone at that airport specifically to document this moment…the moment when all 6 of us Kelleys were finally together.
I was elated when Cheyenne of Shots by Cheyenne said she would be there!!! Cheyenne is this crazy talented lady who is beyond sweet as well. Cheyenne and her partner Laci of Barefoot Photography captured this incredibly priceless moment beyond well…they conquered it…and fiercely. And for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you so much Cheyenne and Laci. You are both completely stellar. Show them some love as well. Head over and “like” their pages. You will truly not be disappointed. They are so very good at what they do!
And that is exactly how you capture the moment when your family is finally united.
Happy Thursday!

Precious moments captured perfectly. I am praising God with you for this wonderful miracle. As one who is adopted, I can tell you that you are giving that sweet child a priceless gift.
The greatest gift from God came in the form of a baby. God bless.
The one of Amon and just your and your husband’s arms is amazing. They captured all of the emotions so well!
