A daughter comes home | Central KY photographer

I won't share the whole story that goes with these pictures, but basically our friends fell in love with this little girl while they were on a mission trip at a orphanage in Hatti. It was obvious by talking to our friends that they were crazy about her! Then came the horrible quake. And our friends started looking into bringing this sweet little girl home.

Another couple from the same church got to bring home a different little girl from the same orphanage a few weeks ago, but our friends were not able to bring heir own sweet girl back, instead her new Daddy had to come back home empty handed. I can only imagine how hard that must have been, not only on our friends, but on Kesna.

Well, another trip, a few weeks, and many many prayers later, they were able to bring her to her new home! I was so glad to be able to be at their homecoming party at their church, and to have the opportunity to capture this special time for them!

How precious these two little girls are! How lucky they are to have such wonderful and loving parents, and how blessed those parents are to have them!!

It warmed my heart to read this on the new, proud Momma's facebook tonight "when we got home she was so excited to see HER room and HER clothes. She rolled around in the bed and contiued to say in Creole "Praise the Lord!!" then she sat down on the couch and said "Kesna American!"

I agree Kesna! Praise the Lord, and welcome to America!

Enjoy the photos!
