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...

Onesie themed shower party for my friend Sarah!

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 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

Janelle and Shane are incredible! They can take the most commonplace setting and make it magical. They capture your deepest emotions in a picture that you can cherish forever. They find creative angles for every part of life that we experience. They are definitely our photographers for life!
