Brian + Marisa

An outdoor wedding at Mills Apple Farm in Marine, IL. We were racing the clock with a bad storm that was on it's way to ruin the ceremony, but it stayed away until they cut the cake! It was such a beautiful and perfect wedding! It is one of my favorite locations I've shot so far for some gorgeous woodsy shots of the bride and groom.

Everyone was under the pavillion and had eaten their dinner when the storm blew threw. We pressed on and everyone pitched in to help the decor not blow away and at the end when everything settled, everyone had a great time! Loved how these turned out, such a sweet couple too!

Baby Grayson

This little guy was born about a month ago and he had his first photoshoot ever when he was about 10 days old! Baby Grayson couldn't be cuter and I was excited to take his photos in my new office/studio space! I bet he's got a modeling career ahead of him - he had the best faces!

Mike + Hannah

Had a blast shooting Mike and Hannah's wedding! The ceremony was held at the beautiful Old Stone Chapel in Historic St. Charles, MO and we even got to take photos at their rehearsal dinner spot - Hendrick's BBQ! We also walked the coblestone streets of Historic St. Charles, MO to do a few more photos and then ended the evening at their reception. Congrats to Mike and Hannah!

JP + Rachel

These two are getting married in November! We took photos at their spot in the park. You can just see how much fun they have together and how in love they are! I can't wait to photograph their wedding later this year.

DeAnna's Surprise Party!

Fun group photo shoot to surprise the birthday girl! We had some special photos to shoot, capturing the bond shared between each person and DeAnna. Gifts were given that symbolized a special meaning about each relationship with DeAnna. We also did a group shot that represented who DeAnna has as her support group and faded out each person to just DeAnna, solo. Creative and unique way to show how much they love DeAnna!

Cutest Baby Girl Winner of the Baby Kid Expo Contest!

Had a blast running around with this cutie and taking photos! She loves her minnie mouse! One of my favorite moments was when she just carried minnie mouse around with her and minnie mouse is the same size as she is! Oh how fun to be so small and precious!

Graduation for two!

I started photographing this family when I was just starting as a photographer and took their senior photos once upon a time. Now, Ben has his Master's degree and Grace graduated with a double major! How awesome! Love this family and so glad I was able to capture their special accomplishments.

Family Session in Tower Grove Park

We were running around a lot in this shoot! Much different from the first time I shot these cool chics! Mila never likes to sit still and always exploring! We had a lot of fun spinnin, picking berries, finding sticks and all the things that interest you when you're 6 years old!

Food Photography - for real

Proud and excited to share some favorites from my very first paid food photography gig! Had so much fun! I hope I get to do more soon.

Lauren + Matt

So in love and so into golf! This couple wanted to do their engagement session where they will tie the knot in October - Innsbrook Resort

Another bonus was getting to photograph their sweet ride too! We had a blast!

The Riley Family and Pancakes

I think this would officially be my very first requested documentary family session and I am so excited to share them! I got to take photos of this family last year and then they asked me to take photos again after baby Nick was born! Their two boys are adorable and I am sure you'll think so too!

Theo is One!

Happy to finally share these photos of this little dude. He is such a sweetheart and I can't believe he is one year old already! It has been so fun watching him grow since his newborn photos!

Baby Parker

Loved how this sweet family session turned out! This family came all the way from Chicago and we were able to squeeze in a quick family session during their stay!

Kevin + Ellen are Engaged!

I cannot contain my excitement for Kevin and Ellen! Kevin is my brother-in-law and when he asked me to be there when he proposed to capture the surprise proposal, I was so honored. This was such a special moment for them and I am so glad I was there to capture it all. This place is extra special because they will be building their new house on this property. It's all just so sweet! Congratulations!

Paladin Wedding - 3/25/17

What a gorgeous wedding and couple! I had a blast photographing these two and their wonderful family. Rain was in the forecast and we just missed all of it and turned out to be a beautiful day. Urban Chestnut let us grab a beer and some food and got some nice shots there! Such a fun wedding! Congrats Brian and Michelle! Venues: Ceremony - Piper Palm House, Reception - Sunset Hills Golf Course and Banquet Center Photo locations: Tower Grove Park and Urban Chestnut-The Grove

Kayla

This sweet baby was born almost a month ago now and I am finally finishing up with the photos! It's been a busy past few weeks! I've had such fun doing the newborn sessions lately and got some fun props too! Check out all the photos of this beautiful baby girl!

Bryce + Georgie

These two are expecting their very first baby and boy oh boy - it's a boy! Had such a fun time capturing these images and couldn't have asked for a better day!

Cats, Glasses and Love

These two are some awesome friends of mine and they let me into their apartment to capture the magic between them cozy and relaxed at home with their kitties. I could keep looking at these images for days. Enjoy!

Ensley

Sweet baby Ensley was just born in March. Just had to use some pretty spring flowers and some fun outfits in her very first photo shoot! 

Grown up

These headshots were taken for this aspiring young actress! We had some fun at RISE coffee shop in The Grove! Isn't she GORGEOUS?!
