~ Shefy and Byran ~
I've been hoping to shoot an Indian wedding ceremony for a long time, the colors are so vivid and gorgeous! I was really excited when Shefy called and asked me to shoot both her traditional American ceremony and Indian Ceremony next year. She is going to be a beautiful bride, I can't wait!!!
A quick outfit change and we hit the roads off Main Street St Charles looking for neat places to shoot....
Bryan proposed to Shefy with his guitar and a song, so I asked Shefy to "serenade" him and she broke out into "Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat, what are they feeding you?" Which is all the more reason to love her :)

Meredith is one of my oldest friends, aside from my family I don't think anyone else has known me longer. Her, myself, and our friend Holly we're coined the "SNOB SQUAD" by some of the burnouts in Junior High :) Soccer, Softball, Cheerleading, Poms, you name it, Meredith and I have done it together. She is one of the most Loyal friends you could ever ask for. She's been through alot these last few years and I am thrilled to see her marry such an awesome guy like Ryan.
Meredith and I couldn't really decide on a location for their photos, so we just hopped in my mini-van, turned on some "New Kids on The Block" and drove around our hometown of Granite City jumping out at different corn fields, wheat fields, whatever looked pretty.
As usual we broke a few laws for some good shots...but it's okay...we went to high school with most the cops in Granite, we're good :)

First is Baby Colin, I met him a couple weeks earlier when he was still in his mama's belly.
Then he decided to come out and play :)
Isn't mom gorgeous!
Next is Baby Patrick! Look at all that hair!
Let me tell you why Monica and Pat are going to be great parents. About 10 seconds after I took the basket photo above, little "Baby Pat" decided to do a little roll and belly flop onto the ground. Now, granted that's just about a 10 inch fall...but that's a newborn baby, and they are first time parents. I flinched and waiting for the panic to set in followed by a call to the doctor or rush to the hospital.....BUT instead Monica and Pat just giggled and scooped him up, a little kiss healed it all. Whew!
Have I told anyone I am the swaddle Queen? Seriously....I'm as good as the nurses in the hospitals....look at that fine swaddle job~!
