9 Months and Cute as can Be!!!

Oh this little guy, he is just so darn precious! He has the funniest personality, he knows we want these big smiles out of him. So he sits back and makes us work for them, all the while I am sure he is thinking "these guys look so silly!!" But the silliness works. I always say "there is no shame to my game"....I will do about anything to get a smile from a kiddo in front of my camera :)

I have finished with sooo many of my favorite one year clients in the pasts 2-3 months. So it makes me happy that I still get one more shoot with this guy in the near future. The big ONE year!!

In the meantime, enjoy 9 months of pure sweetness!!

Happy 9 month bday Mr. Man :)

I can't wait to see you in 3 short months for the big 1 year milestone.

Big Hugs!!

Growing Bigger and Bigger

Oh this little cutie is just growing up too fast on me. It is amazing what 6 months will do. He is just so darn cute, sweet and cuddly. He loves his mommy and daddy and it was so fun to see them interact. He had the best hats which he was happy to wear them for me ;)

I am sooo glad I was able to spend some time with this sweet family before the year end!

He has the best smile and such twinkly eyes, LOVE!!

Thank you for being such a big part of my 2012, it made my year

even better!! I hope you all have a wonderful New Year and I can't wait to 

see you again :)

Love of Family

 "You don't chose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them" - Desmond Tutu

I love that quote and this time of year and this lovely family really reminded me of it. I think the thing about the last few months of the year that is so special, is that you are truly immersed in family. I can't think of a better thing.

I was very happy to get the chance to work with this gorgeous bunch. They were wonderful!! They all traveled quite away to be there for the Holidays and the Baptism of the littlest cutie in the photo below. And what a better time to arrange a family photo. I couldn't be happier that they asked me ;)
Enjoy!!

We planned to stay inside because usually this time of year is bitter cold. We got really lucky with a pretty mild day and we were able to go outside. I was so happy...winter light is so beautiful!!

It was so wonderful to meet all of you! I hope you enjoyed your

time together. Have a wonderful 2013!

Chanel & Chris - Engaged!!

I met this beautiful couple for the first time last year when I photographed them in the late Fall for their Christmas cards. I was soooo happy to hear from Chanel again this Fall with big news...they were engaged! So happy for them. They will be getting married back home in Texas, but I was thrilled when they asked me to take their engagement pictures. 

I knew they wanted indoor pictures, so we decided on Union Station for our spot. I think it fit them and their awesome style very well. We had so much fun!

Chris's has a big family history for Service Men, so we just had to get a few by the very cool vintage uniforms on display.

They are so much fun! They know how to make each other laugh, love it!!

Chanel, your so gorgeous...you and that mega-watt smile!

A floor like this is made for dancing.

I had so much fun with you two!! I am so glad we did this and brought

a little bit of "St. Louis" to your upcoming wedding. And one of St. Louis's most

popular landmarks really fit the bill.

I know you guys are going to have a beautiful Texas wedding!! 

Congrats and Merry Christmas!!
