What an absolutely *perfect* day.  I'm still floating on cloud 9, and not entirely sure it wasn't all a dream ;-)

I'll be sure to write a bit more once I've come back down to earth (and caught up on some stuff for my clients)!  In the meantime, you can see a little sneak peek here - enjoy!

I can't thank all our friends, family, and fabulous vendors enough - you are all amazing!!! 

xoxo, abby (+ tom!)

Next we have Taylor and Rebecca, who are the first eshoot of my 2011 couples - yay!!  These guys are just adorable and you'd never know from looking at these beautiful images that it was **sweltering** hot during our shoot.  Like, seriously, felt-like-we-were-in-a-sauna-hot.  They were champs though ;-)

i'll blog some more of those later on....but for now, I'm signing off - as it's now MY wedding week!!  I'll be back soon as an old married lady.  Keep your fingers crossed for good weather this Saturday ;-)

I seem to be posting on my facebook page a bit more frequently than the blog these days - so, if you haven't yet, become a fan!  You'll probably see some of OUR wedding pics up there first....

xoxo

I LOVE me some baby bumps!!!

Carrie runs the Ann Arbor Pure Barre studio, where I've been regularly getting my butt kicked in preparation for the big day this month (eeek!  I can't even say "next moth" anymore!).  Anyhow - I was thrilled when her and Corey approached me about some maternity and newborn photos. 

They are the sweetest couple - so in-love, and so excited to be parents!  And Carrie has got to be one of the loveliest pregnant women I've ever seen - she makes it look so beautiful and effortless.

Here's some favorites from our recent shoot:
