baby Sophia {by kristie}

February 3rd, 2012

Welcome baby Sophia! Born January 11, 2012.
She is a lucky little girl with some awesome parents. We had a long afternoon of shooting, as little Sophia at 11-days-old decided she wanted to stay awake for as long as she possibly could ; ) I am glad I had very patient parents with me, as sometimes it really does take a few hours of waiting for a baby to fall asleep in a cute little bundle. (When newborns are awake, they don’t lie still. You don’t realize this until you are watching their every move close-up through a camera lens). But, I went with her flow for a while and took some awake photos… but we eventually won and she fell asleep. Sweet, sweet baby…

SUZANNE + JASON {by kate}

February 2nd, 2012

So, this is weird…so weird in fact, that it is almost unbelievable to me. Suzanne and I discovered at our initial consultation meeting (as we were chatting about not being from St. Louis) that we both grew up in Albany, GA and went to the same teensy tiny little Catholic grade school. What are the chances?!? Funny small world sometimes! Suzanne and Jason are a matched set… both a little quirky with big smiles and a great sense of humor…. they kept each other cracking up all day when they weren’t busy casting secret adoring glances at one another. I love a bold shoe, so I am going to start off with the super cute candy apple red Kate Spade flats that Suzanne wore…. aaaand we’re off!

a little ‘something blue’

there’s Jason!

Off to Epiphany of Our Lord Church

Dad, you look a little nervous!

newlywed bowling challenge….

Suzanne is the vastly superior bowler…or Jason’s tux shoes were throwing off his game… you decide.

Kendra + Amanda {by liz}

January 31st, 2012

There are so many things I love about this wedding day that I am quite unsure where to begin. It could not have been a better day for a fall wedding at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. The food by Catering St. Louis was scrumptious, the bridal bouquets by Lucky You Floral Design were rich and vibrant, Amanda’s shoes were my shiniest of the year, the talented Michelle Ross from Under Grace Photography was shooting with me, but most importantly, Kendra and Amanda were so obviously in love with each other. The support shown by friends and family was incredibly touching. The day was marked by an overwhelming number of hugs, tears and laughter. I could not have been more honored to be there to experience it. I think the photos will speak for themselves so let’s dive right in!

See? Shiniest shoes!

So shiny that I feel the need to post two.

Actually, in this case I got to shoot double the shiny shoes, jewelry and dresses. Fun! I was glad I had Michelle Ross there to help though because I didn’t allow quite enough time for double the pretty details.
