Another family session on the blog! What a sweet family! I took the Lingua’s wedding photos a few years ago and now they have a darling little girl name Mazzie and their two other super cool kiddos. We met at the Rau Garden, which is a really pretty park in St. Charles. I think the family photos turned out pretty good considering Mazzie wasn’t too into smiling, but she loved sticking out her little tongue! So funny!
Michael is One Year Old!!
I took newborn photos of this little dude and now I have taken photos of him as a one year old! Time flew by because I just can’t believe it has been a year already! We did a really fun session in Lafayette Park with even a cake smash!! Boy did he love it! He definitely got the hang of the cake SMASH part! Such a cutie!
Kelly + Sadie
Another mommy and me session is on the blog, but this time it was taken at an apple orchard! Kelly and Sadie picked some apples at a cute orchard out in St. Charles, called Herman’s Farm Orchard. We had so much fun this morning and I think the photos turned out so cute!
The Koeman Family
Excited to share a sneak peek of my cousin Cassie’s family with all their little ones! I just love all the individual shots of their kiddos with their own little personalities. We only had a short time to do the shoot, but I think we got some good ones! It was so fun to get see them all even just for a short time!
The Alsum Family
One of my favorite families is on the blog! My husband and I took a trip to see this family and meet my best friend's little girl. It was the first time we met Ava and we had the best time all together! We decided to do a fun shoot at a secluded little park off Lake Michigan - it was so natural and beautiful! Might be a bit biased but I had the best time taking their photos and at such a cool location!
Corey + Aimee
Corey and Aimee just got married yesterday! I had the privilege of photographing one of my dearest friend's weddings. It was a gorgeous day for this amazing couple and I am so excited to share the photos from their special day. We took photos at an abandoned church and a few other fun spots. Their venue for their ceremony and reception is a new venue in St. Louis called Anew. Their rooftop ceremony was beautiful. Couldn't have been a better day! Congratulations to Corey + Aimee!
Jackson
This little man was just born Aug. 4th, 2018! We have been impatiently waiting for his arrival and now that he is here, safe and sound his parents and friends and family could not be any more thrilled! This rainbow baby made his debut and we say hello handsome! I have had the privilege to take photos for this couple for their engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity photos and now for the arrival of their first baby!
Adam + Katie's Wedding
Adam and Katie are such a fun and laid back couple. Even though it was a hot July wedding, we braved the heat and took some super cool photos by the Gateway Arch!
Stacie + Bria
These pretty ladies wore the cutest matching dresses for their fun summer mommy + me session in Tower Grove park and Tower Grove Creamery! We had so much fun playing airplane, running and discovering new flowers. It reminded me how precious and fleeting these times are with littles and summer.
Bryant + Cara
A sunny gorgeous wedding in July! Bryant and Cara tied the knot at Neo on Locust. Such a beautiful venue complete with a rooftop view! The couple also got ready and had their first look at the Chase Park Plaza hotel which was on a rooftop too! Rooftops were definitely a theme for this modern and chic wedding. With a fun purple paper flower backdrop at the ceremony to twinkly romantic lights at the reception, this wedding was full of loveliness. Bryant and Cara danced the night away after celebrating with close friends and family and I wish them a lifetime of happiness.
Jenny + Maggie
Another mommy and me session at the sunflower fields! Maggie just turned eight and Jenny wanted to do a fun photo shoot to celebrate!
Mommy and Me Session in the Sunflower fields!
We did a little mommy and me session of these two pretty ladies! Kristy wanted to bring her wedding dress too so we incorporated that into the session for Emerson to try on. If you can believe we did all these photos plus more in just 30 minutes! I can't even post all of them, just love how these turned out!
The Christman Family
Such a beautiful family with a beautiful home! If you can believe it, this was their backyard! We had a lot of fun! However, Lincoln was pretty shy sometimes and didn't want to take photos. With a few tactics like playing in the water, ring around the rosie and throwing him up in the air, we got a few smiles! I think they all turned out great!
Josh + Melissa are expecting!
My two dear friends are expecting their first baby! Baby Jackson should arrive very soon! We are all so excited for them and starting their family. Big brother and big sister pups are excited too and had to be in the photos too!
Taylor and Lisa
This wedding was one of the most quaint and beautiful spring weddings! Taylor and Lisa were so wonderful to work with. Their families were so sweet and great to work with as well. This was a traditional Catholic mass and a more traditional wedding over all. They had their reception at the Chatillon-DeMenil Mansion. We faced some rain and had to do the first look and wedding photos at the Jewel Box, but it turned out beautifully!
Miles
Sunset family session in the park! This little guys blue eyes will melt your heart, what a sweetie pie! Loved the shots we got from this session! Sarah, Miles mom, made the crocheted blanket for Miles and wanted to get some photos holding her baby boy.
Baby Drew
This new baby boy is already rocking a mohawk! Such a handsome little man just a week after being born. Just love taking photos of brand new babies and their families. Drew has an older brother who is just as sweet! Loved taking photos for this wonderful family!
Dorian + Monique
Such a beautiful and quaint wedding at the Whitmore House! They had one of the smallest weddings I have photographed, but boy could their wedding guests party! They had the best dance moves and just enjoyed themselves. Such a great day and evening with Dorian and Monique. Congrats to these two!
Bryant + Cara
We went downtown to do more a city-like engagement session. I think we nailed it! Bryant and Cara gave me creative freedom with this session and I think their photos turned out great! Their wedding is just around the corner! Can't wait to photograph their wedding in July!
Miguel + Marissa's Engagement Session
Such a beautiful evening in Lafayette park for this engagement session! This couple was so fun, they said they had to have a few drinks to get relaxed for the session because they were a bit nervous. Nothing to be nervous about because they did great! So many nice images, it was hard to choose which to post! Can't wait to photograph their wedding in September!!
