Brendan: All-Star Senior

2012-01-23T13:45:00.000-08:00

Okay so I feel really, really old. I'm at that point in my life where I say what I hated hearing as a teenager, "I cannot believe how big you've gotten." Seriously, though I used to have this guy in children's church. And now he's senior in high school. Really?! Really?! Where did the time go?! I used to work with his mom and dad and loved hearing stories about the crazy, hilarious things that

Schweiss Family and More! {St. Louis Family Photography}

2011-12-07T22:19:00.000-08:00

I thoroughly enjoyed photographing this family! I love meeting new people, and I love it even better when we meet up and can chat like we're old friends. And Krista and I have something special in common...our husbands have the same name (first and middle). Crazy, huh?! I enjoyed laughing and snapping photos of this family. Enjoy their sneak peak!

Sweet Baby Girl A {Newborn Session}

2011-12-03T15:52:00.000-08:00

Sweet Baby A is my adopted niece. She's a super sweet little angel. And it was my pleasure to photograph her. Enjoy this little sneak peak!

Elisabeth {St. Louis Senior Photography}

2011-12-02T10:52:00.000-08:00

Elisabeth is an artistic soul whose personality dislikes bright colors. But after spending an hour or so with her, I found that it suits her. I immensely enjoyed roaming over Old Town St. Charles with Elisabeth, finding spots here and there that seemed to scream, "Elisabeth!!" Enjoy this sneak peak from her senior session.

Rachel {St. Louis Senior Photographer}

2011-11-29T11:41:00.000-08:00

It was super fun meeting Rachel and her family. Rachel has natural beauty and such a sweet spirit. It was great to photograph this wonderful time in Rachel's life--her senior year! Congrats on Mizzou!

Chopin Family {St. Louis Family Photographer}

2011-11-21T20:37:00.000-08:00

We set out to do the Rachel's senior pics, but before the fun could begin, we put the whole gang together and grabbed a few family shots. Here is a sneak peak of the family session. Look for Rachel's session coming soon!

Harris Family {St. Louis Family Photographer}

2011-11-19T20:39:00.000-08:00

I met this lovely Illinois family on a cold and foggy Saturday morning. We braved the cold and came out with this fun shots. Enjoy!

Pace Family {St. Louis Family Photographer}

2011-11-11T17:35:00.000-08:00

I took this family's pictures a year ago. And Mr. P looks much different! A year ago he had dark hair and today he's got blonde hair. One thing hasn't changed...he's still super cute! Enjoy this sneak peak.

Miss M {St. Louis Children's Photographer}

2011-11-04T13:01:00.000-07:00

Miss M has made many appearances on this blog. Her mom and I went to college together and became the best of friends. So we made a morning of it. A photo session with sweet Miss M, lunch, and an S & J run. Fun times...indeed! Check out her sneak peak.

Curran Family {St. Louis Family Photographer}

2011-11-01T11:30:00.000-07:00

I met up with the Curran family at their St. Charles home. They are saying goodbye to their home there and so we took some photos in the beautiful old town area so they could remember this sweet time in their lives. Miss R is one of the cutest little girls. She has the funniest facial expressions of all time. I smiled the whole time I took her picture and the whole time I was editing them. She's

Schmaltz/Brewer Family {St. Louis Family Photographer}

2011-10-27T15:49:00.000-07:00

You might remember my good friends Rick and Katie from their 2-year wedding anniversary shoot. Well we added Katie's mom, dad, and brother to this session. And it was a blast. According to the family and Joel (aka Will-I-am) himself, he had to be dragged there, and he was grumpy and wasn't going to enjoy getting his picture taken. I had a hard time believing it because he was a natural. There was

Mikelle {St. Louis Senior Photographer}

2011-10-24T21:43:00.000-07:00

Mikelle is a super sweet, fun chic. We had a great time shooting her senior session. I realize how conservative I've become or maybe it's just because I'm now a parent. But I found myself saying, "Let's hurry here. It says, 'No Trespassing. And there is video surveillance.'" And... "Be careful right there. Don't go too far. There's lots of glass." And... "Let's watch out for trains." But hey we

The Limesand Family {St. Louis Family Photographer}

2011-10-18T10:32:00.000-07:00

I met up with the Limesand family at their house. The sunset was beautiful and made for some great shots. It was a pleasure meeting them and their sweet Little Miss L. Enjoy this sneak peak!

A Sweet Little Bun in the Oven {St. Louis Maternity Session}

Tyler and Caitlin are expecting their first little bundle of joy in November. Sweet little Kennedy is going to change their lives forever (in the most amazing way). It was a pleasure to capture this special moment in their lives. Congratulations!!

An M-I-C-K-E-Y 1st Birthday Party {St. Louis Children's Photographer}

2011-10-12T21:45:00.000-07:00

It was a fabulous 1st Birthday Party at Eckerts Farm for a super special boy. Fun was had by all, especially the birthday boy who loved all the attention and the delicious icing from his Mickey Clubhouse cake.

The Venhaus Family {St. Louis Family Photographer}

2011-10-01T21:31:00.000-07:00

It was a pleasure meeting the Venhaus family this past week. Little Miss A has lots of personality and was easily bribed with M&Ms! Beautiful weather, perfect sunshine, and super awesome people made for one great photo session. Just check out their sneak peak.

The A-man {St. Louis Children's Photographer}

2011-09-30T11:59:00.000-07:00

In just one year, this handsome little man has made his way on the blog not once, not twice, but now a third time! His super sweet smile is a joy to capture. Even though it was his nap time, we were able to get in a mid-morning session and it turned out beautifully.

The Super Duper S Family {St. Louis Family Photographer}

2011-09-28T11:35:00.000-07:00

I met with this family a little over 9 months ago to take sweet Miss M's 3-month pictures. She's now one and moving all around. We added her big brother and sister to the mix this time and had a great time snapping photos.

James + Bethany { Anniversary Session }

2011-09-09T00:26:00.000-07:00

It was an absolute pleasure meeting this couple. In October of this year, they will have been married for 25 years. That's right 25 years. I seriously hope I look this young after I have been married for 25 years. During our session, someone actually asked if we were taking engagement photos! That brought on some smiles! But if you hang out with this couple for very long at all, it's not hard to

Grace and Eli { Senior Session }

2011-09-05T01:55:00.000-07:00

Grace and Eli are my cousins. And yes, they are twins. :) This year they will graduate high school, and I was lucky enough to take their senior pictures. While we live 7 hours apart, it worked out perfectly that we took a little plane ride to Nebraska to see multiple family members...and as they say, we killed two birds with one stone. I love these two and am so happy to have captured this time

Sweet Baby Girl B { Newborn Session }

2011-09-03T22:16:00.000-07:00

The Anderson family is a growing family. You might remember a couple of adorable boys from this session here. Well, they now have an adorable baby sister. This family has a tradition of not finding out the sex of the baby until it's arrival. Mom was just sure she was getting another bouncing baby boy, but she was pleasantly surprised. :) Little Miss B is going to be just a little bit spoiled. It

Kori + Andy {E-session Sneak Peak}

2011-08-20T19:58:00.000-07:00

Let me just start this blog post by saying that Kori and Andy are one of the cutest couples. He is a big kid at heart, and she loves it. As we walked around grabbing spots to capture photos, we chatted with ease. Kori and Andy have a great way of making you feel comfortable while you're with them. We laughed and walked and walked and walked. I must apologize to Kori. The poor girl was wearing

Mr. L is getting a new baby sister! {Maternity Session}

2011-08-16T19:50:00.000-07:00

Mr. L has been the topic of quite a few blog posts, but he soon will have to share the spotlight. He's going to be a big brother to a baby sister! We got together this past weekend for a little family/maternity session. Listening real hard for Sissy's heartbeat! Mr. L is going to be a great big brother. He's going to be fiercely protective... ...but also keep her smiling. Can't wait

Kindergarten Cutie & Handsome Little Man {Sibling Session}

2011-08-14T20:45:00.000-07:00

So I might be a little partial since these two are my niece and nephew, but seriously, the cuteness factor?! It definitely cannot be denied! These are my best friend's babies and while we are not related by blood, we're still family. They came to St. Louis over the weekend. It only made me wish we lived closer! It was sweet to see them and bittersweet to see them go. We were able to sneak in a

Sweet Miss K {1-Year Photo Sesssion}

2011-08-11T10:29:00.000-07:00

WARNING: Be prepared to see some serious adorableness in this post. Miss K just turned 1 and was absolutely a doll. Really. Seriously. Too. Cute. For. Words. Just see for yourself! And for a little while, Miss K shared the spotlight with her siblings. Miss K took a little tumble, but I must say that even when she's sad, she's still absolutely adorable!

Kim + Chad {St. Louis Wedding} Part 2

2011-08-10T16:58:00.000-07:00

After surviving the heat index for pre-wedding outdoor pics, Kim & Chad's fairytale wedding began without a hitch, despite a fireman's parade going on just outside the doors! Kim's brother could not make the ceremony because he is stationed overseas but was able to watch via Skype. He may have not been too excited about eating the green beans! But seriously they were delicious!!

Kim + Chad {St. Louis Wedding} Part 1

2011-08-08T20:44:00.000-07:00

Kim and Chad's July wedding day was hot and humid. I don't know about them, but I am quite thankful they opted for an indoor, air-conditioned wedding! Prior to her wedding, Kim began having nightmares that all her photographer was able to capture was pictures of feet. Well, Kim, let me just reassure you that while we did capture a few feet pictures, the collection contains some photographs of an

Mr. Man on the Move {Sneak Peak}

2011-07-12T00:00:00.000-07:00

You might remember Mr. Man from his 3-month photo session. He's grown...and watch out, because he's is on the move! He didn't care that the grass was wet or that the stairs were steep. He just wanted to go. But one thing's for sure, he has a lot of fun on the go. :)

Jen + Shawn {St. Louis Wedding} Part 2

2011-06-28T14:11:00.000-07:00

It was hard to narrow Jen and Shawn's wedding into one blog post...so here is the second blog post. Shawn and Jen had a beautiful, outdoor ceremony at Bee Tree Park. The day was warm and a bit humid, but the rain and cicadas stayed away (for the most part). There was an incident where a brave bridesmaid plucked a cicada from the bride's dress. On to the reception! Instead of a unity candle,
