I’ve been working on this for awhile.  I saw my friend Kelly a couple of weeks ago.  Kelly’s daughter Mackenzie died of a brain tumor 3 short months after I photographed her.  david’s music kept Kelly’s spirit company in the many many dark nights surrounding Mackenzie’s illness.   When I saw Kelly’s face, I remembered the perfect image for the last picture of this slideshow.   It was as if Mackenzie knew, she knew it would be ok, It’s OK.  Thank you Mackenzie for your sweet gift to us. 

I’m not sure I can put a you tube video in here, you might have copy the link.

I posted one from this bridal session this summer but she wasn’t married yet and I didn’t want anyone to see her dress.   Fresh home from the honeymoon, it is safe now.

Our weather wasn’t perfect with a storm quickly approaching but since Miss B was from North Carolina, we just needed to shoot!  She was a trooper exposing her gown to the elements!

Miss B grew up in Waterloo,  lives in North Carolina, is getting married in Chicago and had her bridals done in Newton.    I was honored to be a piece of that crazy mix

Here is just one!
