so one night in indiana erin and i got bored... here is the result... more about erin and pictures of that night to come...

dubay girls preview...

picking a favorite is basically impossible... but here are a few i like lots...

omi's ring...

from what i was told my grandmother bought this ring for herself... appartently her husband my step-grandfather thought it was too much money... i smile when i hear how she got it... and it is now one of my most treasured possessions from her and while on the bachelor party shoot i used an old barn to capture it...

michael and kathleen.

he saw her... pursued her... won her...

little jon writing a welcome
the altar.

my sister-in-law danced...it was beautiful

beautiful

please notice how she looks at him...
love.
they laugh... a lot...

shel and james...baby belly take 3

here's a couple more from the shoot... please take note of the firts picture's right bottom ... that's how james made it through...

shel and james. baby belly... take 2.

okay... so maybe i should apologize... because some people have been waiting to see more of this shoot... i am sorry, but i was super busy the last 2 weeks on a mission trip with kids (we spread some Jesus in sin city)... however, i am now back home and should be posting more within the week... here's a couple ... oh and side note... the grass shots are not my best, for some reason i am just not that great at them, but shel really wanted them so i could nto say no... more to come!

i am so surprised by this picture... james was beyond done snapping shots and i was sure this one would not turn out... but now its one of my favs...

shel and james. baby belly...

okay... so this post is big... but i could not choose... and to be honest there will be more tomorrow... these two are just too beautiful to stop clicking...

i have known shel for years and am so proud to call her my friend...her shower was sunday and what you are about to see is my gift to her...

shel and james - i am so excited to meet little miss bean... thank you for letting me capture these moments before she makes her debute in this world ...

shel's sweet little niece emma joined in the fun

can you tell how much fun james is having?

please note i got james to smile with his TEETH - he's not so into pictures like shel and i are... so this was hard

love.

always remembering sweet angel baby who watches from above.

more coming tomorrow... including james' secret to surviving a photo shoot and grass shots...
