The Best Things Come in Threes! [St. Louis Children's Photographer]

So excited to post these finals from my fun session last week with this exciting trio! Great light on a very hot afternoon--but I think the kids enjoyed it as much as I did!

Beautiful setting and great colors for Elizabeth to be in!


Ben is quite the gentleman and very adventurous on this evening!




A little timid of the camera on this night, we managed to get some really great ones of Micah!


The best way to capture kids...playing!










Thanks Ben, Elizabeth & Micah for a great evening! We'll have to do it again soon!

I Heart Faces--Pets!

I'm a sucker for a subject with big beautiful eyes--they draw me down for a visit everytime I go home!

Welcome Back Mom & Dad Sneak Peek {St. Louis Children's Photographer}

I had the pleasure of hanging out with these three great kids last week while their parents took a little trip for their anniversary! Thanks to their Aunt Maureen for coordinating and letting me have a blast on a very hot evening with Ben, Elizabeth & Micah! What a great crew to work with and such cuties to-boot! Here's the first of many to come of this triumphant trio! Hope you had a great time Debbie and Robert and thanks!

We had a little fun and played the night away!

I Heart Faces-Babies [Emma Claire]

I was so excited to see that this week's challenge at I Heart Faces was babies! So many to choose from and it was hard to narrow down, but I have to say this is one of my favorites!

Life in a Small Town [Illinois]

I'm so glad I was able to convince both Jenny & Beth to take a few photos on our relaxing day down in Southern Illinois! This town brings back so many memories--of college, fun, friendship and just all-around good times!

And a special thank you to Jenny's parents for their hospitality and wealth of food that day! We haven't seen that much food since...well...since college probably!

The beautiful water feature which is also known as the fourth child! But check this thing out...it's pretty amazing.






Lazy afternoon's are so needed!




Jenny...her allergies were so bad that day, but I really don't think you can tell! Gorgeous....


Beth...love the hair and the look!

More of Mike & Patty's Beautiful Day [25th Anniversary]

I am just finishing up the shots from Mike & Patty's beautiful day and am so happy to share these! Who doesn't love a little sun flare!









How gorgeous!





Gotta be a favorite!

The Rest of Jessie's Shower [Bridal Shower]

Here are the rest of Jessie's photos! What a wonderful afternoon with these ladies! So happy with how these turned out. Thanks for having me Meggie & Jessie!

The pretty faces of the day!

Patty & Mike's 25th Anniversary Sneak Peek [Anniversary Party]

Last weekend I had the pleasure of spending the evening with this wonderful family! And what a night it was! Their two daughters planned a wonderful evening full of fun, family and surprise! I promised I'd throw up just a few for the family before Patty & Mike got back from their big trip! Enjoy just a few of the many great shots!

The happy couple at the beautiful town square in Highland. And bonus--I finally got my sun-flare!


Turns out that 25 years ago, Patty & Mike took some of their wedding pictures here!


Probably one of my favorites of the day...because if you know this family, you know this is soooo them! And it's just beautiful! And yes for all of those out there wondering...you should recognize Miss Amanda who I shot in an engagement session back in April! And that's her pretty sister Breanna!




Seriously...they don't really take a bad picture.


Hello sunset shimmer! I need some more of that! It was just gorgeous on Saturday night!


More to come soon! Stay tuned! Thanks to the very warm-welcome I received on Saturday night! I love it when I feel like part of the family!
