Penny :: 6 months [St. Louis Family Photographer]

This sweet pea put up with the heat for her 6-month session. Penny was on the move for her session already crawling! Can't wait to see her again in just a few months for her 9-month session.

Introducing Elizabeth (Ellie) Kate :: Part 2 [St. Louis Newborn Photographer]

More from Ellie's newborn session along with cameos by her big sisters!









Can anyone guess what Mama's favorite color is?


Another special prop from my Papa's store. This was an old potato basket and it just makes my heart smile.

Introducing Elizabeth (Ellie) Kate :: Part 1 [St. Louis Newborn Photographer]

I'm blessed in so many ways with my job. One of the greatest gifts, is the ability to capture these moments for my family. I couldn't have be happier to finally have my sister close enough to home for me to get there with all of my stuff in tow to meet the newest edition, sweet Ellie!

I decided to split this post into two because I had so many favorites and didn't think it was right to only show a few! So more to come tomorrow!

And a special thank you to Jill who traveled the 4 hours with me and put up with my family for 48 straight hours. And to her husband Jason who so graciously gave up a vacation day at work to watch the kids to allow Jill to travel with me! I couldn't have done it without her...some of the great smiles you see is because of our dynamic slapstick comedy routine geared towards toddlers...ha!













I love using props with special meaning! The box that Ellie is laying in happens to be from my Papa's old grocery store. I know he's smiling down seeing her sweet face in it.




I can't beleive we actually got this shot...and many, many more! So grateful that these girls were so good for us!




Absolutely love these sweet rompers we had them in! I think they like them too!

Sneak Peek:: J.B., Anna + Kate :: Cousins [St. Louis Family Photographer]

I spent a wonderful evening with J.B., Anna + Kate who were all in town visiting one another and their extended family! We had a perfect evening as the heat finally broke for a day and their Grandpa just happens to have the most beautiful backyard ever!

More to come of this super cute and sweet trio!

How sweet is Anna's face? She was such a doll and loved the camera!




J.B. was most at home at the Tiki Bar!


Kate and her beautiful eyes!

Introducing Noelle [St. Louis Newborn Photographer]

Noelle was simply perfect for her session. This sweet beauty gave us just enough time to do both asleep and awake shots! Love when things work out perfectly!

Sneak Peek: The G. Family [St. Louis Family Photographer}

I'm so glad that I was able to get together with this family again this weekend. Jill and I did Lilly's newborn session earlier in the week and we wanted to make sure to get some family photos with everyone home!

Just a quick sneak peek of this beautiful family! Thanks Christine, Bart, Callan + Lilly for braving the humidity!





Such a sweet big brother!

The H. Family [St. Louis Family Photographer]

I caught up with the H. family just after Lucas' graduation to grab a few pictures since everyone was in town. It was one of the very first HOT days we had and I'm so glad we were in the shade! They made this look easy and barely broke a sweat!
