Oh, and leave a comment on the new blog to let me know you stopped by!

{this baby}

is such a gift. I really want to tell you why but I'm off to Texas for the week. BUT, I promised this mommy I'd show her something before I go. ;) This is little mj...isn't she sweet?!

{i ♥ Faces...wedding bells}

I thought I would play a little and post for the *I ♥ Faces* weekly competition. I love this photo of Nathan and Kimberly...the way he's intently looking at her eyes and her amazing smile back at him...it's just perfect.

{these girls}

are soooo cute!! this is the last of my Rockford shoots that I'm finishing up. I actually edited a whole shoot last night in one sitting, a first for me, and I'm trying to get this shoot completed all in one day as well. We'll see how the evening goes! But, I had to share a few because I just couldn't wait! We are off to Texas this week to celebrate the life of my husband's dad so I won't be around for a while...explains the crazy i.have.to get.things.done anxiety i have right now! ;)

eta: I added two more pics....I couldn't resist the shot of little R in her helmet...adorable!

{pink}

a good word to describe what's to come! another Rockford shoot...but just a few for now!

{sweet boys}

A couple weeks ago I traveled to Illinois for a bunch of shoots. Here are the first sneak peeks...aren't they adorable!? I had to include a few with texture and one with their stunning Gram!

{it's about time}

I get some kiddos back on the blog! I have a bunch to catch up on after my trip to Illinois so this is the first post of many to come!! Here are some of my favs so far from a shoot I did a few weeks ago with a special little family...

eta: I forgot to add this picture...we had some visitors up by the barn...and they were not scared of us, but, thankfully Dave had our back and was ready if the foxes thought they wanted to 'play'! ;)

{I'm not ignoring}

the blog...I'm just out of town. I'll be 'out' for the remainder of the week and possibly into next. SO, if you need to get a hold of me send me an email! And, for those of you getting ready for the mini-sessions....I'm excited to share with you what we're doing!!! There are a few more slots available if you want to get in on the fun!!

Happy June!

{the wedding, for real}

I've tried to write this post a number of times but really am at a loss. Not because there isn't anything to say but because there is so much. Their story is an amazing testimony to God's faithfulness and is such an example of how God's plan for our lives is always the best. I am honored that they asked me to document such an important part of their lives and am thankful to be a part of their journey.
I have to say, it was hard work. I was exhausted. I dislike my flash even more than I did before this wedding ;) and I should have probably used it more. But, like anything, it was a learning experience, from start to finish. I knew it would be a major learning curve but I never thought God had something in it for me as well...but He did.
So, is this the last wedding for LyndseyLew????? Who really knows. I'm just thankful for this experience and thankful to Nathan and Kimberly for trusting me with their day!
And now, here are some favorites from the day!




my favorite part of the ceremony was the worship...I love these next pictures of the groomsmen worshiping with Travis in the background





the expressions Kimberly had during the vows were priceless...here is one of her gorgeous smiles for her husband



and then we went outside. all I can say is, she. was. stunning....

{can't decide}

which pictures to show....it's fun to be able to play a little and do things I don't normally do in my processing....like texture....so, while I can't decide on which pictures to post, here is one of the 'different' looks I've been playing with....

{the wedding}

the first wedding....not decided if it's a start or an end to an expansion of LyndseyLew...we'll see how long it takes me to edit ;) I wanted to share a few of my favorites so far...it's not much...just a teaser really...I promise, I will post more in the next couple days....but, for now, here is the beautiful couple....and some beautiful eyes!

{it was early}

when my sweet friend called this morning....I jumped out of bed because i knew exactly why the phone was ringing at 5am...but, as quickly as I got to the hospital I still didn't make it....the baby was born at 5:14am...yes, she called at 5 and still wasn't to the hospital...a close call to say the least! I am just so honored that they asked me to be a part of the welcoming of their 3rd little man and so thankful for these friends! We share a lot of things and now we share in the journey of 3 boys....good friends and community are such a blessing!

Here are the first images of this new man only a few minutes old....
