Sadie is One!

Sadie turned one! We went to a super cute coffee shop called VB Chocolate Bar in the small town of Cottleville, MO. Kelly and Chris love this little chocolate bar/coffee shop and since it was quite cold outside - it was a perfect spot for Sadie's one year photo shoot!

Matt + Lauren

These two love animals, golf, Parks and Recreation (the tv show) and each other. This was my first time photographing a wedding at Innsbrook Resort and it was one of the most beautiful and personalized weddings! They had their own golf flag and personalized towels! Not to mention the ceremony was right by the lake - picture perfect. They even had blankets ands s'mores for their guests at the reception. Loved every detail! So happy for these two and honored to have had the opportunity to capture their special day!

The Clipperton Family

I couldn't stop smiling while editing this family session. Calvin is so stinkin cute! He was such a happy camper in the freezing cold! Thankfully, he had his awesome little hat to keep him warm. What a fun family holiday/fall session!

The Cambell Family

This family is expecting another little one to join their family! Next year they will be a family of four and this little guy will be a big brother! How exciting! Loved being part of announcing their news!

Ivan + Alana

These two are amazing! We had such a fun time at their wedding and couldn't stop taking photos all day long! They have already survived so much - the day after their wedding, everything was stolen from their vehicle in a downtown parking lot, while they visited with out-of-town guests. They were even featured on KSDK.  “It was all material things,” Alana said. “And as sad as it was, it made us realize how much we care about each other and we’re not going to let something like that affect, or ruin, the best day of our life.” See the rest of the story here.

The Pettigrew Family

It has been so fun taking photos of siblings and seeing how they interact with each other! I just met this family last year in the fall and we had another crazy fun session! These kiddos are just too cute for words! By the end, we had to convince the kiddos to go see the "magical yellow tree" so we could get the bright colors of the beautiful tree I had found! So glad they agreed! 

Jack

Remember when life was as full of possibilities, opportunities and most importantly - big dreams? This guy has all of that going on because he is a senior in high school. He made state in swimming and has college recruits looking at him for lacrosse - it is an exciting time! Wishing you many good things to come!

The Breedlove Family

These sisters were so sweet to each other! Curls curls and more curls too! So great meeting this sweet family and taking photos of these two little ladies. They were so fashionable too! Such a fun and warm fall family session!

Fiona is 3!

I photographed Fiona last year and can't believe how much she has grown in a year! Happy 3rd birthday to Fiona! We had so much fun! Her mom and dad tell her - be excited and she does the best excited face, then they tell her ok be sad and then she makes a sad face - it is amazing! Best model ever! 

#SuddenlySonora

One of my best friends asked me to shoot her wedding and I was so honored to be part of her special day! So happy she found Chris and I just love the photos of them together because their happiness and love just radiate from their smiles! See for yourself!

Michael

Michael was born just a few weeks ago! He is a handsome little guy. He was so sleepy and cozy wrapped up, which is perfect for his first photo shoot! His older brother is so happy to have a baby brother and so is the rest of his family! 

Will + Annie

Beautiful wedding in Lafayette Park in St. Louis. These two could not see each other before the ceremony so we took photos before and afterward. Will first saw Annie crossing over the bridge, which was such a neat way to make an entrance! The day was as perfect as it could be, filled with warmth, laughter and love. You can just see how in love they are just being near each other. SO happy to be part of their special day! Wishing you many years of happiness! Congratulations to Will and Annie!

Ensley - 6 months old

Couldn't help but smile the entire time while editing these photos! Ensley was such a happy girl for her photo session! She was a joy to photograph and you can just tell she is the joy of her parent's life. Love that hair too!
