first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes . . .

just over a year ago now,
i had the joy of shooting my cousin's wedding {see the pics here}

a couple weeks ago i had the new joy of
shooting them expecting their first baby boy together!

what a beautiful mama!

a simple, quick spur of the moment shoot in my aunt's backyard.

i gave the little one this print, as it is true: every good & perfect gift does come from above.

lots more to share down the pipe. i have been having a great summer with the kids & taking lots of photos. i am also working on new art ideas as well as designing my own website. the balance of work & play has proven to be a struggle lately in my heart, but i am choosing play since they will only be little once & here in illinois, we only have so many days of sunshine!

ok, should be sleeping... just wanted to get these pics up before she pops & has the baby!

grace & peace,
julie

Julie-you are just going to get me in more trouble...Lauren is not a gushy-mushy--and I already can't help myself from carryin' on about how pretty and how beautiful she is everytime I see her. I love the Mom that she already is to Mia and I love observing how she leads her, teaches her and loves her--(I can wait but it feels like...) I can't wait to watch her with our little boy (and you know the JOY we feel thinking about our Josh with this little life->YIKES!) These photos go straight to my heart...and I know they will stand the test of time...becoming most memorable and cherished. Bless and Love you - so. Kiss Kiss, Aunt Kelly
