Some people have asked me, "Why blog?" or "What's a blog?" The simplest way to describe it is a personal journal that everyone can see and leave comments on. But really it's more than that. When I started this blog, I wanted to let friends and family know about our adoption journey to China to get Nate. Ever since I've started blogging, the blog has connected us with many people who we might never have met, and re-connected us with friends we have not seen or lost touch with many years ago.
Just last week, a friend of ours who we had not seen in 10 years, came across our blog. She and her sister were actually teens in our youth group when Don was a youth pastor in the late 90's. Now, she is a professional photographer and is absolutely AWESOME. Her specialty is babies, children and families and I wish we lived in Arkansas because I would love to have her photograph Nate.
The photos on this post are ones that she's taken. Check out her website at: Amy Kelton Photography. The photo of the baby in the bowl is her nephew. She loves going to people's homes to photograph their kids, which I think is awesome because the children are more comfortable in their own homes, especially adopted children who are just learning to develop trust and trying to bond with their parents.
I emailed her about photographing adoptive families and she was very excited about that! So if you live in or around Arkansas, give her a buzz. She has a passion about her work and they make very special memories for families.

hey denise, there is a group of photographers that have gotten together and formed a group called celebrating adoption. she may want to join that group. they promote adoption and then it would also promote her own business. the link is http://www.celebratingadoption.org/
check it out when you have time and if you like, fwd it to her! i would love to get into photography. i love pretending with my kids...its fun; can't wait to get a real photo-editing program!
BTW, I'm glad you're a blogger! I feel like God can use this as just another way to connect his kids...you're a fun person to keep up with and are very encouraging!
