Oh, Lafayette Square Park! Fall showed up for us, even with the threat of rain.  And boy, was it worth it.  Lauren and Jake were perfect together for their engagement session. It always makes my photographer heart happy when I can tell the guy isn’t hating being there! When we get genuine smiles and laughs! […]

If you ask me, St. Louis is kind of a hidden gem.  I would imagine most bucket lists and vacation dreams don’t include St. Louis, Missouri.  However, for all of us locals, we know the real secret.  St. Louis is fabulous.  There’s ALWAYS something going on.  There are countless FREE things to do.  And we […]

The Washington Town and Country Fair is a BIG deal around here.  The whole town practically shuts down while the fair is here!  It’s one of those things that makes a small town so awesome. And a fair maternity session was the perfect idea!  If you live in Washington, and you don’t go to the […]

July 12, my husband and I celebrated 13 years of marriage.  Obviously that meant we NEEDED an anniversary session.  Because when you’re a photographer, photo shoots are a necessity. At least that’s what we tell ourselves.  Luckily, I have lots of really awesome photographer friends.  And one of them had access to a 1967 convertible […]

Missouri weather sure is confused.  One minute it feels like spring, the next minute is snowing!  Luckily, Queeny Park makes any season look good.  Even with confused weather.  And then there’s this adorable couple and their cuter than cute puppy, Ruthie!  I’m not really an animal person, but Ruthie stole my heart.  In all her […]

I am a BIG believer in date night.  Date nights start out as a way for two people to get to know each other and see if they have a connection.  That feeling you get when a guy you like asks you out, is exciting!  And then, if the date goes well, there’s the feeling […]

Oh how I love downtown photo shoots.  And oh how I love this family!  And it’s growing! Katie is the most gorgeous momma to be.  And cute Emma is SO excited to be a big sister! Whenever I spend time with expecting moms, it always brings me back to my own pregnancies.  I never had […]

When I married my husband over 12 years ago, I married into a large family with lots of nieces and nephews.  Since then, the family has only grown.  And the nieces and nephews keep getting older.  Which really needs to stop.  Because our oldest niece was MARRIED last weekend! She was stunning.  Perfect everything.  Hair […]

Her grandmother’s pearls were re-strung into the most beautiful necklace.  They were the perfect accessory to her stunning lace dress. Surrounded by the most important women in her life, Courtney stepped into her dress, and time stopped.  It was gorgeous on the hanger, but perfection on her. Ben had tears in his eyes before Courtney […]

High school sweethearts. College grads.  From different colleges.  These two made it!  And now they’re planning a summer wedding, and I can’t wait!
