Echoes.

The day before the wedding.
I’ll be honest, I was a nervous, cranky wreck.
Panicky, even.

This was a BIG deal, after all.
And while I loved seeing Nicholas, I was still as shaky as I could be.
That’s why it was so awesome to get out and hang out with Abbey, Nick and the photographers.
Having to hug and cuddle and love made us giggle self-consciously, but we secretly loved every minute.

Here are a few of my favorites for your enjoyment…
I have many favorites of the photos total, so this may take a few days…

(all photos taken by Lemin Studios)

Aren't we some cool cats?

We are very awkward subjects and while Abbey can flirt with the camera with the best of them, Nick and I felt VERY odd to be the center of attention.

LOVE.

It’s okay. Abbey loved us both anyway.

Yep. They're crazy!

Abbey thought she was hot stuff with her flirtatious eyes. Nick and I liked the hanging back and pretending we like each other part, too.

Awww. My new family.

We’re a good looking bunch, aren’t we?

I love the way that photo looks against the screen. She was having so much fun – they both were. All of us were.
I’m definitely glad I chose to have a family session the day before – it relaxed us a little bit and made us all remember we like each other.

One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE pictures of my daughter.

Abbey was so loving that day. Some pictures, like this one, didn’t start out being posed at all, but simply us hugging each other like we normally do and being caught in the act.

At the end of the day, I was back to thinking Nick was a rather yummy sort of man.
And he thought I was all right too.

That’s love for you.

Don’t worry – more to come… mush included.
