Erin + John Wedding l Saint Louis, MO

Erin and John! You guys rock! Photographing your wedding and being a part of your day is an experience I will never forget. It is exactly the reason I love what I do. I get to capture and eternalize through pictures one of the most incredible days of peoples lives the way I perceive it, and then share it with them. As I go through the hundreds of pictures from Erin and John's wedding I am so excited! I constantly think to myself, "Oh they are going to LOVE this one." I'm looking forward to sharing all of their photos with them soon.

What a fun filled and energetic day it was. The rain did anything but put a damper on their day. Even though it sprinkled on and off through the day, we were able to sneak in some wonderful photo opts inbetween the raindrops. After their ceremony at the St. Lukes Church in Richmond Heights we headed to Forest Park, Busch Stadium, and the Lumiere Place for pictures. I love getting the opportunity to photograph wedding parties at the home of the Cardinals. I could have spent all day there with them. Our limo-bus took us to the reception at the Randall Gallery downtown where 300 of their closest friends and family were eating, drinking, and being very marry. :) They were an absolute joy. I found myself surround by great conversations, constant laughter, and dancing, dancing, and more dancing. I don't think a group of people could have had any more fun.

Here are a handful of some of my favorite pictures. There are so many though it was hard to narrow it down...

Hoerner Family Portriat l Augusta, MO

Last weekend I took a little drive down to one of the most beautiful areas in the state - Augusta, Missouri. My very first, best childhood friend, Eliza, was in town visiting her family. She and her sister wanted to do something special for their mother for her upcoming anniversary so they hired me to take a family portrait. I also took some extra time to photograph their mother, Becky, and her husband Franz. Their home is picturesque as it is nestled in the thick, green forest of Augusta. I enjoyed my time with them so much. It always brings back so many great memories that always seem like yesterday... Love you guys!!!

Angie and Kyle's wedding on June 14th was such a treat to photograph. Maggie, Beth, and I got to spend a beautiful day in the Gardens of Malmasion photographing this love and laughter filled day. I must say I always love working with such positive, energetic people. Angie and Kyle and their family and friends are some of the best. Here are a few of my favorite pictures that tell the story of their day.

Welcome Baby Ava!

This week I made a trip down to Columbia, MO to visit a little someone I've been dying to meet. Baby Ava was born on June 19th to two dear friends and very proud parents, Kristen and Pat. Their little precious princess couldn't be any more adorable. I love getting the opportunity to be around, and of course photograph, newborns. Their movements and facial expressions are mesmerizing and I find myself in constant awe of those round innocent eyes.

After this experience I am eager to photograph more newborns and infants so please don't hesitate to contact me if you or someone you know might be interested in this service. I am happy to offer combined prenatal, newborn, and first year packages. Please get in touch with me for details, thank you!
