Sneak Peek: Ayva + Cayden [St. Louis Children's Photographer]

Luckily we were able to sneak in Ayva + Cayden's session in Forest Park before they went to the zoo and before the big storms hit on Saturday! I can't believe how big these guys are getting! They look so grown-up!

Sneak Peek: The S.Family [St. Louis Family Photographer]

I'm usually not nervous before a shoot, but this one was different. I wanted to it perfect...just right for fellow photographer and good friend Jill! We had the perfect night, the perfect light, and everyone in town! It doesn't get much better than that!

Thanks to Buddy, Karen, Jill, Jason, Lauren, Bryan, Aubrey, Jack + Joey for making me feel just like one of the family! I can't wait to share more from this great session!

Sneak Peek: Reid::6 months [St. Louis Family Photographer]

I can't believe Reid is already 6 months old! We had the perfect weather last night (except for a little wind) to capture a combination of his 6 month and family pictures! Thanks Laura, Mark, Ryan and Reid for a wonderful evening full of fun and laughter! More to come from this session a little later! But for now...here's just enough to hopefully hold you over!

Big brother Ryan was practicing his poses just for me! He pretty much nailed it!

Sneak Peek: Gustavo is 2! [St. Louis Children's Photographer]

I'm pretty sure Gustavo walked around the Transportation Museum most of the morning in a state of pure bliss! There's no better place to go for a 2-year-old birthday shoot when you LOVE trains!

Here's a quick sneak peek of this handsome guy! Happy Birthday Gustavo!







He's very serious about trains and this picture captures that perfectly!

Sneak Peek: Jake:: 3 months [St. Louis Family Photographer]

I was so excited to see Jake again! He's almost 3 months old and growing so big already!

I can't wait to share more of this handsome fellow!

Sneak Peek: Maddie + Emma [St. Louis Family Photographer]

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you had as great of a weekend as I did! Lots of family time and fun!

I also had the chance to capture my nieces who recently turned 4 + 2! I can't believe how big they are getting and how GREAT they were at posing (or not posing) for me! By far one of my best shoots with them and they were totally into it! It can't get much better than that and I know it made their mama (and their aunt) very happy!

More to come of Maddie + Emma! And a huge thank you to my friends Michelle + Jessie who clued me in on how to find the great backdrop of the blue wall!

I will tell knock-knock jokes all day long if these are the kind of smiles I get!




This turkey is the funniest 2-year-old I know! Hands down! She loves to laugh and make you laugh and her smile is infectious!


And just in case you didn't know, this is how Tinkerbell stands! They learned from the real deal so I hear.

Sneak Peek: The R. Family [St. Louis Family Photographer]

Seriously one of my favorite families and one of the most perfect evenings...even if it was a tad bit chilly! This family gave Nana a gift certificate for her birthday last year and they finally were able to use it!

Thanks to Liz, Gordon, Ellie, Livvy, Caroline, Melissa, Zachary, Linda and Gordon for coordinating schedules to make this happen and having a fun evening with us!

Happy Good Friday everyone and I hope you all have a blessed Easter weekend!

Kenzie Turns 1! [St. Louis Family Photographer]

Makenzie turned 1 last month and so to celebrate, we got a cake...which she wanted absolutely nothing to do with. I think she was just trying to be lady-like and not get her pretty outfit so messy!

We had a blast and it's so hard to believe this sweet pea is already 1! Happy birthday Makenzie! I know your mommy and daddy can't wait to watch you grow...neither can I!

Sneak Peek: Expecting Baby M.::Angela + Tim [St. Louis Newborn Photographer]

I was so excited when Angela contacted me about a maternity session! In a long, round about way, I've known Angela + Tim for the last several years through extended family. I was so happy to hear that they were expecting a little girl and loved sharing in this special moment. You can't go wrong with beautiful light and beautiful people!

More to come soon! Thanks for a wonderful evening Angela + Tim!
