Ok so quick truth. I 100% depend on Meredith to help me narrow down my images for blog posts. I usually give her like 200 – 250 favorites and she is SUPPOSED to be more judgemental to get it down to a reasonable number for me. Mer, I love you, but you failed on this […]

I literally caught myself smiling back at my screen while I was scrolling through this final selection of blog images. I always do that before I start typing (not the smile but the scroll). I need to make sure I chose images that truly tell the story of the day just the way I remember […]

Take two inside out gorgeous people, add on a beautiful (but warm!) sunny day in June, and then place them on the grounds of a lovely southern Illinois country club and it’s a sure recipe for amazing photos! Some of us (um, ME!) could never be this comfortable in front of the camera, so I’m […]

We’ve been so very excited about this wedding for the last, oh I don’t know…year or so?! Amy and Emily wanted their wedding to represent them both. Their favorite colors, creative natures, love of food, personal style…all of it. It was so fun to see their visions come to life at this love-filled summer wedding […]

If you’ve been to our blog before, then you may have noticed that shoot a pretty decent number of giant, extravagant, huge ballroom, over the top weddings and we love them all! However, sometimes a couple like Molly and Jake come around and pull us out into nature, well, “fancy nature”. I mean a top-notch […]

This group was just downright fun! Mer and I were discussing the guys and their morning of Macarena followed by an afternoon of literally skipping around the Missouri Botanical Garden. It is just so fun to be around happy wedding day people! So much time and energy is spent talking about the hyping the drama […]

You know what I love? I love that we are all unique. That we have our own paths in life and towards happiness. That happiness and love look and feel different for each and every one of us. What we expect from love changes with age… When I was a child I imagined finding a […]

I will definitely remember this session as one where I got to play stylist…which was so fun!! I’ve done wardrobe consults with a lot of my girls this year, but Cece was totally up for trying anything I suggested. Naturally  I love how all her styles turned out ;)  We also had the most beautiful […]

When we planned Kathryn’s session, I hadn’t been out to Queeny Park for a session in quite a  while – so it seemed like a good chance to shoot there again! I think it was a good choice, because her images turned out SO gorgeous!! I guess I’m a little biased (ha) but it’s definitely […]
