Emma + Maddie [St. Louis Children's Photographer]

I'm sure you're all used to seeing these two plaster my blog, but their mom likes to get their pictures taken and so does their aunt...which is me! And now that they live closer, I get the chance to photograph everything!

This particular weekend was actually for Emma's 18 month session and we snuck in Maddie because she had a cute outfit too!

I just love this series! I'm seriously this funny...I just want you all to know that! (Or so a 3-year-old thinks!)

At the end of our shoot, Grammy let us pick apples off of the apple tree. And while this is just a quick, casual shot I wanted for myself, I just love the way it turned out and captured the moment!

Miss Kaylee [St. Louis Newborn Photographer]

A full head of hair and oh-so-cute, Kaylee did perfectly for her newborn session and was so laid back. She seriously let us do anything we needed to to get her to pose and made it way to easy on us! Happy Friday everyone!

Sneak Peek: Introducing Karly [St. Louis Newborn Photographer]

"A wee bit of heaven drifted down from above, a handful of happiness, a heart full of love."
-Helen Steiner Rice

I made a very special trip back home today to visit one of my favorite families and to meet the newest addition--Miss Karly! She's perfect from her head to her toes and I can't imagine any family loving her as much as she is loved now!

Heather, Don, Jacob, Kirby + Kelly--congratulations on such a beautiful and heaven-sent little girl! I can't wait to watch her grow with you as part of your family...you are so truly blessed! Enjoy your sneak peek of Karly...much more to come!

Engaged: Maureen + Ben [St. Louis Wedding Photographer]

I've been waiting for this moment...to capture these pictures...for quite some time! And I couldn't be happier for Maureen + Ben! There's something about capturing such wonderful people in a natural state...and that's what the evening held for us in late August! Beautiful light, sweet love + life truly captured just as it was.

Introducing AJ [St. Louis Newborn Photographer]

This little guy captured my heart and was as perfect as perfect gets for his session. He was so relaxed (as you can see from a few of the pictures!) and tolerant of us being in his world for a few hours! Thanks for making this look easy AJ!
