Jenn and Andrew and I had a fun walk around the Demun area and then at the World’s Fair Pavilion, where their wedding reception will be held next Spring…. bonus: in between when we scheduled the session and when we shot it, they got a golden retriever puppy, so I got to play with her! […]

I’m so excited to share this session – Claire grew up next door to my parents, so I’ve known her for quite awhile. I won’t go on for too long about how lovely and grown up she is now, but really, you’re gorgeous Claire! It was a bit warm on our session day to say […]

I’m not going to lie to you wonderful people out there in the world. The weather pattern that has been swirling around over the St. Louis metropolitan area has been TOUGH on us poor wedding photographers this year. These little storms that seem to be coming in daily are all fine and dandy as long […]

I still have an overwhelming sense that this year of weddings has just barely started, yet somehow I already feel like I’ve seen all kinds of awesomeness! All kinds of smiles, lots of laughs and plenty of love. All of my favorite things of the non-shiny variety! Mally and Mike were married just before the […]

Katie and Matt are married!   It is awesome to see a couple get married that I have photographed several times and have seen them together and can tell how nuts they are about each other.   We began he day at the Hilton Downtown Hotel….  I love the satin swirl shoes that Katie chose […]

Meet little Carter. Just 8 days new. Carter is the newest, sweetest little great-nephew, of Tina, who is my expert “baby-wrangler” as she calls it. Tina is along with me on almost all newborn shoots. And although sweet as can be, and not fussy, this little guy gave us quite a workout for our shoot, […]

I have a fun, warm, sunny wedding day to share today! I was super happy to head to Mexico with my husband and a bunch of friends this March to capture the “tying of the knot” between my good friends Dave + Stacia.  A fun couple from Chicago, you may remember from their engagement session […]

{by kristie} After our April “la classe” photography workshop, I once again challenged the group to go home and practice using their cameras on full manual mode – indoors and out. We’re now having a friendly little contest over on facebook between the ones who were brave enough to enter. Here were the rules: Cameras […]

Meet sweet little Ella, at just 7 days old, and her big Sis who gets cuter every time I see her. She was BFF with Tina and I yesterday when we shot, even making us sit by her on the couch and watch Toy Story while baby sis was eating. Too funny. Many Congratulations to […]
