few more quick peeks! [St. Louis Family Photographer]

May 28, 2009 – 10:57 pm

Few more of this gorgeous & fun family!  I know they would love to see more before their gallery is ready.

I have a couple other galleries I need to get finished & up.  May has been a crazy month for me and ending on a bittersweet note of my oldest graduating 8th grade tomorrow.  :::gulp:::  And Baby Sophie has turned TWO!  And it’s been a while since I’ve done a Sophie photo flood, so look for that soon!  LOL

But, really, you just want to see this awesome family!

These boys utterly & completely stole my heart!  (can you even believe Mom & Dad were nervous how their littlest guy would do?)  Not only are they just too cute for words, they are sweet & kind & FUN!

Love & joy just oozes from this family!  How blessed am I to be there to capture some of those moments?  Blessed, indeed!

super excited! – [St. Louis Family Lifestyle Photographer]

May 24, 2009 – 12:09 am

Had a FABULOUS & fun family session today with a most adorable family!  Well, I guess technically it was yesterday now!  I was really just going to download them to my hard drive, back up, and call it a night.  And now I’m forcing myself to only post two that I simply HAD to peek at!  You’ll see many more of these I’m sure!  I’ll fight off the urge to blog the entire session… haha!

Thanks so much, R family.  Hope you had as much fun as I did!  Loved hanging out with you… those boys of yours stole my heart for sure!

a few more peeks for A – [St. Louis Senior Photographer]

Figured I’d post a couple from the studio shots with A…. and a few more we took downtown.  I feel so blessed to get such gorgeous subjects all the time!

“S” Family Session – [St. Louis Family Photographer]

May 19, 2009 – 12:35 pm

The S family requested a session at a place I hadn’t been before, but I quickly fell in love with.  Dad attends Concordia Seminary and knew all the gorgeous architecture and folliage would make for beautiful images, and was he ever correct!  I think I could have shot there forever (and the kids may have felt we DID!  haha!)

Here are a few peeks from the session!

Mom & Dad will celebrate 20 years of marriage this year, so had to capture some of just them!

And I think only M & I knew I took this shot.  I just couldn’t resist capturing those gorgeous eyes of hers while we waited for the others to finish changing.

2010 Senior Spokesmodel – [St. Louis Senior Photographer]

May 16, 2009 – 5:52 pm

I’ve decided to dive into the senior market and totally lucked out when A agreed to be a Senior Spokesmodel for me!  She’s a gorgeous & sweet girl with her own artistic flair so was up for exploring downtown for her session!  Thanks, A, for coming out today, even when I know you were freezing with the wind!  Here are a few I picked out as a sneak peek!

I still have some spots open for Senior Spokesmodels, so please email to inquire about this fun opportunity!

peeking in as I sneak out of town – [St. Louis Child Photographer]

May 12, 2009 – 10:18 pm

Oh neglected blog of mine!  These last few weeks have been a bit crazy and my blogging took the back burner!  Busy with clients, volunteer work, and just general life with 7 kids going different directions, but I also added in my oldest daughter having her Confirmation, getting ready for graduation, and 8th grade trip.  The 8th grade trip I’ll be chaperoning as we leave bright and early Wednesday morning (though technically, we are leaving when it’s still dark!).  I’ll be semi-available, but may not return email/calls until we get back Friday evening.  I’ll be checking email periodically on my phone (and, yes, I may be Twittering and/or Facebooking too).

Since it seems wrong not to post a photo, here is my Mother’s Day present from Jonathan:

randomness – [St. Louis Child Portrait Photographer]

Finished up sweet little one year old A’s session + cake smash.  Always end up with way too many images, but love them too much!  I often do 10×20 storyboards for the cake smash sessions, but am really liking this option to get MORE images on!  So fun!

20x201

After this session, as sometimes happens, Sophie comes in the “help” me clean up the studio and decides she’ll actually let me snap a few images of her.  Which I always love being able to catch as she’s almost 2 and not ever always cooperative.

Isn’t she just a total sweetness little angel?

HA!  Totally have you fooled!

Excited to see my friend Amy’s images from our little photo playdate today!  Must do that WAY more often!
