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

I absolutely love reconnecting with so many that I grew up with through photography. Megan is one of those reconnections as she and I went to the same high school; and her brother and I graduated from the same class. It's such a small world as we find ourselves living not too far from one another in the St. Louis area.

We had a great afternoon at Quail Ridge to capture some family photos and also a few very fun photos of Mattie in her rehearsal outfit. She made it through tryouts of The Nutcracker and will be performing in a few short weeks at the Peabody! How exciting!

Thanks Megan, Jason + Mattie for a wonderful afternoon!

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

I was so glad to hang out with this family on Saturday as well! Grammy was in town and she wanted pictures with each of her beautiful grandchildren. I think we met our goal!

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

Loved meeting this beautiful family at Longview on Saturday morning. They were all in town for the holiday weekend and even braved the cold for me! The kids, especially, were such troopers!

Thanks Marge, Jim, Steve, Reagan, Lauryn, Elise, Dave, Megan + Jake for making my Saturday morning perfect!

Sneak Peek: Penny is 1! [St. Louis Family Photographer]

I can't believe this baby girl is turning 1 and is my first to graduate the First Year package!  It has been such a joy and a pleasure to work with Penny's family over the past year and capture her as a newborn, 6 months, 9 months and now!

And for her 1 year session, she showed just how big her personality is!

Happy birthday sweet Penny! It's been an honor to watch you grow!

Penny as a newborn!


Penny now!

Sneak Peek: Rachel is 6! [St. Louis Family Photographer]

I've been photographing Rachel since she turned 4. And I can assure you that I rarely pose this girl. She does it all on her own and just loves the camera which makes my job pretty easy.

There was something noticeably different about Rachel this time . She has apparently kept the tooth fairy quite busy this year with her new smile!

Sneak Peek:: Jake :: 9 months [St. Louis Family Photographer]

I seriously could have posted about 20 sneak peeks from this happy guy! I can't believe Jake is already 9 months old and we're planning his 1 year session in just a few months.

Jake was perfect for his 9 month session...he's pulling himself up a bit and sitting like a pro but no crawling on this day. No--Jake waited till 2 days after to start that new trick! And this made me a very happy photographer!

This coming weekend, I get to spend some more quality time with this guy for an extended family session! I seriously can't wait.

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

The T. Family was full over energy and ready to go for their family session at Quail Ridge!

Thanks Diana, Bob, Colin + Liam for a fun evening!

Sneak Peek: Brynlee is 1! [St. Louis Family Photographer]

I was so excited to see Brynlee for her 1 year session and a splash of Christmas fun too! It was a big day as my studio finally opened and Brynlee broke it in for me!

More of this sweet girl a little later!

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

I was thrilled to get in this session before the cold weather and rain came through Sunday afternoon. We had a great morning at Faust Park and were able to capture some very special shots of everyone. And I have to say...for having four kids under the age of three, I think we can officially call this session a success!

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

This beautiful family had the perfect morning for a session! Isn't Maddie just the cutest at 4 months! Those cheeks are to die for!

I can't wait to share more with you Rachel, Denton + Maddie!
