I loved everything about this wedding day at Le Belle Coeur in St. Charles, MO. It was impossible to narrow down a few favorite images from this special day. Megan & Logan were so much fun to work with over this past year, and I enjoyed getting to know all of their friends and family throughout the wedding day. Enjoy a peek and check out the amazing vendors!

Congratulations to Anne & Garrett! I had a really hard time picking a few favorites to share from this amazing day. I just loved everything about their wedding day at Pebble Creek Farms in Ste. Genevieve, MO. Anne & Garrett were so easy-going and fun to work with over the past several months. Getting to know all of their family made the day even more special. Enjoy a peek!

Kelli and Kevin were married April 17, 2021! It was a gorgeous day surrounded by amazing family and friends. Over the past 8 months I have loved getting to know this sweet couple. Although things were still a little bit different, they embraced the changes and enjoyed every minute of their smaller, intimate reception at Olive and Oak. They were surrounded by so much love on their special day.

This year was quite a rollercoaster ride! I can not believe today is the last day of this crazy year. January started with in-home lifestyle newborn sessions, documenting a 50th bday party and an investiture for judicial appointment…everything abruptly changed in March with a total shutdown. There was a lot of fear and uncertainty, and so many hard things this year.

Looking back at all of these images is overwhelming. The front porch and front yard sessions, high school seniors that missed the end of high school and graduation, all of the little milestones and family documented during 2020.

THANK YOU to each and every one of you for supporting my small business during a pandemic. Creating images of your family brought so much joy for me this year when everything else seemed completely out of control.

Cheers to a healthy and happy 2021! I hope to see all of you in front of my lens next year!

Cutest family on the blog today. We worked in their front yard/front porch for this quick mini session. These kids are absolutely adorable. Front porch sessions have been the perfect way to document this year. Most families have spent the majority of their time at home. Enjoy a peek!

I have so much to share from this wonderful crazy season of shooting. So many beautiful families in 2020! The weather has held out this year, and I still have a few more sessions to complete this weekend and next.

This beautiful family gallery just went out this morning. Loving the winter light in December right now. Quick winter mini sessions are perfect for the holiday cards and updating prints around the home. We met at Drace Park for this session. Enjoy a peek…

It was so good to meet this sweet family. They are off to new adventures in Wisconsin, but we got this session in just before the move on a gorgeous afternoon in St. Louis. Three toddlers = lots of running during this family session! Enjoy a peek of this beautiful family…

Ahhhh….cutest family! Just 9 months ago we shot a lifestyle newborn session in their home. Now look at their sweet girl, so big and laughing with her 3 big brothers. It is so wonderful to see repeat clients, and watch these cute kiddos grow up so fast. Enjoy a peek of their gorgeous evening session at Larson Park in Webster Groves!

The cutest brothers! Four boys between the ages of 5 and 10…I am sure their house is always full of fun. Mom wanted to capture a few family portraits and these sweet boys having fun together.

It was so nice to meet you [A] Family! I hope you enjoy all of these images of your sweet family…

Oh how I love this family! We have worked together for many years, and I have loved watching these kids grow. They are so sweet and fun! We met at Blackburn Park in Webster Groves for the perfect fall afternoon shoot.

During every family photo session I try to capture a few simple portraits for the holiday cards, and also all the candid in between moments. Those candid moments are always my favorite images. Enjoy a peek…
