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...

shel and james. baby belly... preview...

sunday i had the pleasure of shooting shel and james' baby belly session... here's a preview...

shel and james. happy 11!!!

so while blog stalking today i went over to shel's and realized i had forgotten to post on their 11 month anniversary... opps... sorry shel... and because i have posted almost all the photos i have from that wedding i went with one i took of another picture... this is shel and i's photobooth spread ( sorry james - i'll get you in one mext month) ... the last one has a great story... happy 11 you two - i cannot wait to see you guy IN TWO DAYS for your shower and your baby belly session!!!

i heart faces contest.

so i heard about this contest on a blog i check daily (only like 3 times a day and i am not just saying that because the blogger happens to be the guest judge - she is rocking the world of photography over on the west coast ...)

called:

and i thought - why not?

check it out here if you want to enter

here's what i choose ...just for fun:

jon and joe - two of my favorites. the ones who cuddle with me. give me kisses. and make me laugh until it hurts.

ashley and zach.

this past weekend two friends from college got married... and it was beautiful and silly all at the same time... from ashley's dad's heartful tears as he handed her to zach (but not before handcuffing her to himself - then asking zach to unlock him!!!), zach's word's saying "i love you more today then yesterday, but less than tomorrow", and ashley singing to her groom "i'm not lonley anymore"... these two truly reflect God's love through their love for eachother... i am confident they are going to do amazing things in this world...congrats ashley and zach!!!

so i was not their photographer and i decided that i would leave my camera gear at home - but i could not resist getting some shots with my point and shoot as they walked into married life in a sea of bubbles...
