A circus….I must admit our lives the last few months or nine really, have felt at times to be just that….. a three ring circus. It’s been an interesting year continuing to juggle the demands of a new and growing business, being pregnant for the first time, continuing to learn to work better together, preparing…
I think we may have mentioned it before that it seems like a lot of our couples get pregnant soon after we are there for wedding day. But I’ll be honest this year— it seems like everyone is pregnant, from bridesmaids, to friends, to photog buddies, to cousins, and well— us! We were so excited…

We were so excited when one of our friends asked us to join a small group with our church— for those of you who don’t attend church or your church doesn’t have small groups let me explain, essentially it’s a group that meets usually once a week, the purpose of which is to live life…

Ok, that first picture is amazing! Are you sure you didn’t pose that one after the birth? 
Everyone’s expressions are perfect; I love Sarah’s!
Your photos portray the true essence of each moment soo well, what a gift! baby Charis is absolutely beautiful (just like her mama)! What a blessing for the Hooleys, (:
Breath-taking!
OMG, Janelle and Shane!!! What gorgeous photos! The one of Charis, just looking around….beautiful! Oh, how I wish I could go back in time and have you there for the birth of our boys (even Adam)! BTW…Laura is a nurse at Parkview North in the maternity ward!
I’ll be honest I love to plan parties. I think it goes back to college when my roommates and I loved to throw parties or actually now that I really think of it, we only planned one real party– but it was a winter gala complete with sparkly silver and blue paper, mini quiches and…

Everything came out so great! I’m so glad to see you didn’t fulfill my prophecy of you sweating it out to pipe the onesies. BTW, Sarah just might be the cutest ever pregnant lady. She really does look like she just has a basketball under her shirt.
Oh my goodness! I love, love, love all of it. The next person I know that has a baby is getting a shower just like this. So creative:)
ha ha! So True Anna! I think Sarah’s a pretty cute pregnant lady too! I love that she’s always in some fab little dress with boots!
Oh Janelle…so adorable! I love all of the onesies AND the hanging onesie cookies. Do you mind if I post some of your pics (your links included, of course) on my blog? It’s too adorable not to feature!!
oh my word Janelle, you should be a party planner, too! I love it all! I wish I was having a baby shower or some kind of party!!
Hey Janelle,
We know the Hooley’s, all the “Merrell” girls, Erica etc!!! Such a cute, cute shower!!! I may need to talk with you about your great ideas!!! Looks like such a fun time!
I love the photo-booth area idea…
When you did your raindrop strings, how long were the strings?
How many strings do you think you had?
I love this idea and I am putting on a shower for my daughter in January.
Thanks
I did about 2 dozen strings of raindrops maybe more. They hung from the ceiling to the floor, so maybe about 10 feet?
So this must be the month for little ones. We have 3 sessions for little ones celebrating their first year of life. Naomi’s family is one of our personal favorites. We shot Danielle and Brad’s wedding, Naomi at week 2, 6 months and one year. And now Brad and Danielle are expecting a son! LOVE…

Oh Janelle, these are beautiful! And Shane, you did a heck of a job moving furniture, backdrops, dogs, etc. We cannot begin to thank you enough for capturing this (along with our others) milestone for us. You’d never know that Naomi was being a grump that day; you caught her TRUE personality. We’ll see you back here in a few months to for Adler’s first photo session
Cheers,
The Kellams
Thanks Danielle! We’re so glad you like them. Can’t wait to see you again and meet baby Adler in person!
NO! i missed naomi! HOW CUTE IS SHE?!?!?!!?!
