Shon & Lura
A few times a year I visit my 2nd favorite state, South Dakota. I love visiting my sister and her family and it’s always a bonus to be able to photograph a few sessions out there too.
Lura and my sister, Annie, are dear friends. They met in college at South Dakota State University and remain close today. Infact, they are a part of a very tight group of gals that I was always a tad bit jealous of. Close girlfriends who have always been there for each other during academics, engagements, marriages, births, deaths, and all of life’s many ups and downs… Lura is one of the kindest, most positive, most cheerful people on earth. She and Shon will be fabulous parents…and I can’t wait to find out if January will bring them a little son or a little daughter!

Awww!!! Cute, cute, cute. Well done, Chels. Lura, you look so beautiful! I love them! And Chels, you can be an honorary member of the group. You’re that cool


OMG…whereever did she get those fantastic cowboy boots! I love, love, love! Great job on the pics, Chelsie, that last one with the water is incredible!
