I have been posting like crazy....have you been enjoying the almost daily posts?!?!?!? I am still busy shooting like crazy, meeting with 2010 and 2011 brides, and editing in every moment in between. Today I am off shooting a C-Section at St. John's and then tonight I am off to an engagement session at Tower Grove Park....so keep checking back with me, I have LOTS to share with you!

Addie's ONE!!!

Addie is a very special little girl to me! I was there with her parents on their maternity session and on the special day a year ago when Addie was born! She is a sweetheart and it is soooo neet for me to be able to see my Birth Story Clients growing up! But I truly cannot believe sweet, little Addie is growing up!

I met up with Howard, Holly, and Addie for her one year old photo session. We had a great time together! Here are some of my favorite pictures from her session!



What a great looking family!


She is just soooo adorable!!!




Getting your photo taken is hard work...break time for a sippy drink and a snack.


KISSES! I love her sweet little expression! WINK!


This is one of my favorite pictures!




Look at that amazing dress....love it!


Sweet little shoes...Addie is always dresses soooo cutely! I mean, could her shoes go any more perfectly with her dress?


Howard and Holly took some pictures together, too. Addie was wonderful and just hung out with me right by the tree.


And now for the hat...which she hated...but sometimes crying pictures are just as wonderful as smiling pictures.


Thompson family, it was AWESOME seeing all of you again! Thank you for having me take pictures of your wonderful family.


PS...My announcement happens TOMORROW!!! Stay tuned!

Jake's entire family session!

Jake's sisters, brothers, brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, mom and dad...and, of course, his adorable nephews, were all in town for his and Natalie's wedding. WOW that was a long list...lol. So, we had to do a family session! We met at a park in Arnold right before their rehersal dinner and it was wonderful getting to know them all. It was extremely hot but this family was wonderful to work with and full of smiles. Enjoy their family pictures!

The whole family! (I love the little man's HUGE smile in the middle!)




My wonderful bride and groom!!!!


This is Jake's little brother...he was full of energy and full of great faces for my session.




Now, the next three boys are brothers...they are going to be the bestest friends! And their mom and dad did a great job raising these boys so far, they were soooooooo well behaved!!!

LOOK AT THOSE EYES! AWE!








Jake and Natalie, thanks for letting me not only be part of your wedding day, but also your family session. You were all so wonderful!

Jeffry & Mary Lara's WEDDING!

Jeffry and Mary Lara's wedding was especially wonderful for me to shoot for two reason:

1. They are an adorable couple who just goes with the flow.
2. They are great friends of Tony and mine and there is nothing more fun than seeing loved ones get married!!!

Their wedding was at Providence Church, which is one of my favorite churches to shoot at because it has so many windows, and their reception was at Windows on Washington, another favorite. So this day was just full of favorite locations and full of amazing people. Enjoy some of my favorite wedding pictures of their big day...


Getting ready pictures are amazing moments for me to be able to photograph. I loved being able to be there as Mary Lara got ready for her big day...she was absolutely adorable and her three younger sisters, mom, and great bridesmaids were all there with willing hands to help her.


My awesome assistant, Rebecca, grabbed this great guest book picture.


The gorgeous bride! WOW!




Jeffry getting ready...


Jeffry's reaction to seeing his bride for the first time before the wedding was PRICELESS!






I love how excited they are to be married...happily married!




FAV. of THE DAY!




First dance


Mary Lara's sisers (the three in the hot pink dresses in the front) were so happy to see their sister and NEW brother-in-law dancing for the first time as husband and wife.


Jeffry and Mary Lara...congrats on your wedding. I loved being part of your amazing day!

ALSO, MY EXCITING NEWS WILL BE ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK...STAY TUNED! YEAH!

Jackson and Katie ~~ENGAGED~~

I have known Katie since she was in 7th grade!!! We both went to school at WCA and I was friends with her brother. She was always this sweet little girl and so it was the weirdest thing seeing her all grown up and engaged...lol. We met up in Ballwin for this engagement session and it was wonderful seeing her beautiful self, inside and out. And Jackson, is a southern gentleman! They are super in love and excited about their wedding. Enjoy their session!

My favorite sunflare ever!!!!






There is a great kiss about to happen!


This is one of my favorites of the session. I love how her hair is just perfectly illuminated by the sun.








Katie and Jackson, I am so excited for you both! Enjoy planning your wedding day!
