Laurel : : Senior

Laurel is a gorgeous and amazing senior at WCA. We met together with her mom at one of my favorite parks in Ballwin. It was a beautiful day and the session just flew by. She was such a great model:




So gorgeous...this is my favorite close-up of Laurel!


I like how her sweet personality shines through here:












FAVORITE of the session...

Wonderful Maternity Session...

Erika's maternity session was a blast!!! I met her and her family at their beautiful home in Wildwood on a gorgeous day. It was her idea to do the maternity session at her home, which I was gitty about because they have such a gorgeous landscape for the pictures. Enjoy my favorites from their session.

Also, I was going to blog this post on Thursday, but Erika went into labor and HAD baby Annika...so this post is "late" but for an oh-so-good reason! WINK! (Birth Story pictures will be up next week...check back for those soon!)

Gorgeous family!!!!


FAV of the day!


Okay, so I love running pictures! Maybe it is because I love to run myself... or just because kids are too cute when they do it, but I just love this action shot of Will and Emma racing!


This picture totally sums up Greg and Erika's relationship: completely in love! They love being around each other, they light up together, and they are just such an amazing couple!!!












I love this family portrait...they are just hanging out AND are in this amazing area with a cool barn in the background.


Now, on to some fun portraits of the kids:






And finally, some great belly shots...




Erika, Greg, Will, and Emma you were all a delight to work with!! Cannot wait for little Annika's first session soon!

Just a nice preview...

Lindsey and Adam are happily married....and here is a tiny (but awesome) preview of some of their portraits from their "big" day:


More to come soon...also, Erica's maternity session tomorrow! YEAH!

Leisha 2010

Leisha, her mom, and I met downtown bright and early on a BEAUTIFUL Sunday morning. It was gorgeous day and the weather was perfect!!!! We had a great time talking and laughing together. Even though I have taken Leisha's pictures before, during a Breakdown STL photography session, it was great to get to know her during this one on one session. (Breakdown has 30 plus people...it is a little hard to get to know all of them during a 1 1/2 session...wink!)

Here are some pictures of Leisha's senior pictures: ENJOY!!!!




GORGEOUS!


This is one of my favorite spots of this session!!!! It was this awesome little area that Leisha rocked out some model pictures!






FAVORITE OF THE SESSION! Here is a benefit of being up early, there are NO cars on this gorgeous cobblestone road....and Leisha was totally awesome about getting a little dirty for getting the shot. (Got to love when a client will do anything to get a shot like this!)





I really like the reflection of the arch in this shot...


My favorite close-up...



Mrs. Ritter and Leisha, it was AWESOME doing this session for you!!! I had a blast and was blessed to get to know you both. I loved your pictures and cannot wait for you to see them ALL!!! Enjoy!

Just one picture for you all before Tony and I head off for two weddings tomorrow....enjoy!!!



P.S. Tons of senior session will be blogged soon!!!!
