Updates on my Dad

I'm finding it hard to keep all my sites updated on the progress of my Dad so I decided to open a caring site here: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/virgillewisjr I will be attempting to update it daily.
Thank you all from the bottom of this broken heart ;)

Maternity: Amber

Like I said before Amber, I hope you are having a wonderful time with your new little baby! I can't wait for that part of the Bumps and babies session!

Hot!








You know I have to have some fun at these sessions!


;)



Maybe my fav of the whole session!


stunning!

Maternity: Amber

Amber! I hope delivery went well and baby is doing good. More to follow soon.

It's been a rough week for me. My Dad had a stroke near his brain stem region and we've been with him in the hospital praying for a miracle. I'm trying to keep up with pictures but alas I'm falling terribly behind. If you read this please pray for our family and my Dad.

Don't want to post without a picture or two so here is Kendra's sweet baby girl:

Baby Urijah

Amber and Joel: Engaged

It was so nice to finally meet you Amber after months of emails. You are really a sweetheart (Joel I guess you're ok ;) lol). Can't wait for the wedding guys!!

My fave!

It was so very cold but we had a blast!




The beautiful ring!

Goldie and Alex: Sangeet

Truly a once in a lifetime experience! When I met Goldie and Alex I knew they were special people so I was super excited when they decided to have me take part in their wedding celebrations. Some readers may be wondering what a Sangeet is so check out this site and read up http://weddings.iloveindia.com/indian-weddings/pre-wedding-functions/sangeet.html . When preparing for the Sangeet I researched all I could to make sure I could understand what was going to take place, but I don't think anything could have prepared me for the splendor of what took place! Also the order for the night was all candids only please. I thought sweet! This will be perfect but I didn't realize how tuff it was going to be to not pose anyone lol. All night long I kept thinking of great shots to set up, but I talked myself out of it and stuck to the order and I think it was wonderful! It's always so awesome when I find that one shot where the couple didn't know anyone was watching (or in the room for that matter), they are just wrapped up in one another and enjoying their time together. I found more than a few of those!

This is what was waiting inside!!!!

So amazingly beautiful!

Then the women relatives gathered to play instruments and sings songs.






Goldie and her grandmother enjoying the festivities




Alex wrote and performed a song for Goldie! It was so sweet.




The women relatives again gathered and performed a dance for the Bride and Groom






Favorite shot of the whole night. Such comfort and happiness.










Look at how they look at each other!


Then some of the family put on a funny skit about Goldie and Alex


lol! I think this was the ME ALEX part ;)


They danced a Somoan dance (Alex is Soman)








Then the entire room joined in for some fun!

So much more to come from this celebration!
