FamilyTime

A part of this beautiful family lives out of State. So when they reunited for some family time they also decided to have family pictures done. Yeah for me :) These kids....SUPER adorable and full of energy. I love documenting kids as they are right at the very age and stage they are at. It was really cute how much they enjoyed being together....cousins are the best!!

Oh and their color choices...perfect! I have a lot of large groups ask me what to wear, I will have to direct them to this blog post for some inspiration :) Because they looked great.

We hang out on Main Street St. Charles on a super bright hot evening. But you would never know it was hot be how cool they all look.

Cousins = Best Friends :)

These kiddos have some gorgeous eyes!!

These little cuties, melt my heart.

If it wasn't frowned upon...I seriously would of taken her home with me at the end of the shoot :) I think my girls would just love a cute little red headed sister.

A favorite of mine that day.

I usually shoot into the sun but I wanted to try something a little different and I really like how they are front lit and their colors just pop.

This is one lucky Grandma.

First I have to give a big shout out to my friend Beth, thanks

for sending me this wonderful family.

It was soo nice to meet all of you. I hope these pictures make you smile while your separated by miles.

I think the kids will have fun looking at them and remembering all the fun they had with their cousins

Thank you so much!!

Love of a Family

Photographing families with older kids is a totally different dynamic, and it is nice for a change of pace :) But there is still the teasing and typical "sibling stuff" no matter the age :) These guys were fun....it isn't a secret that most teenage boys really don't dig having their pictures taken. I think they did pretty good :)

Enjoy this lovely family on a beautiful night in Forest Park....

Love these!!!

Ahhhh, brothers....it is totally about knocking the other one over or causing some kind of injury. Isn't that what brotherhood is all about :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this, every mom and dad should have a photo of just them. This is one of my all time favorites.

It was wonderful to spend a beautiful June evening with

you guys. It was great to see you again.

Hoping the rest of your summer is wonderful.

The "E" Family

It had been a few years since I have had this beautiful family in front of my camera....so I was super excited. The last time it was just the 2 kiddos, this time the whole family..love!

They were so easy to photograph, 2 awesome easy kids and equally awesome parents. Of course it was like hanging with old friends, mom Mary is the sister to my hubby's best friend. So I have known this crew a long time and added to my comfort and love of this shoot. It was hot has heck, but you would never know by looking at these guys.

Starting off with my favorite family picture of the night, the light on this bridge was perfect.

The beautiful couple who created this cute family :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

This girl...geez, I could of photographed her all night long. Such a beauty....and so easy to direct. I think I see a modeling career in her future :)

Boys don't usually come this sweet.....at this age I am usually begging for one more smile. He was happy to be in front of my camera.

Thank you guys for sweating it out with me.

I LOVE what we got of your awesome family. I can't

wait to see these hanging on your walls :)

Happy Summer!

9 Months - Beautiful Miss "D"

I tell you, I just adore this family more and more each time I work with them. They are so in love with their little girl....it is so sweet to watch them as a family. Little Miss "D" is nine months...and it has been a complete honor to capture all of her major milestones this first year. I am just sad that my days of seeing them every 3 months are coming to an end soon :(

We beat the heat with a beautiful morning shoot in my favorite St. Louis neighborhood....Lafayette Square. In my dream life that is where I would reside :)  They also love this neighborhood....so it was a perfect fit.

Take a look at some of my favorites of this beautiful family......

I remember at her 3 month shoot chatting with her mommy about eye color and wondering if her eyes would stay blue. I certainly think the answer is yes :) She has the prettiest blue eyes......

I just love these next set of pictures in the polka dot dress. A little back story this dress was Kari's when she was little and she also wore it at 9 months. I think it is awesome that her mom saved it for her. They wanted to re-create a photo of her in it with her Dad holding her, this picture is very dear to their heart. I was completely honored to do this for them. And I think Brad did a wonderful job getting the pose pretty much spot on. You will see it below.

Oh my, this dress photographs beautifully!! I think is has a little extra special magic :)

Oh this cracks me up, I have a couple pictures from that day of her little tongue sticking out. So cute!!

I love love love this family shot below, don't know why....I just do :)

You guys are seriously dream clients. Thank you for being so wonderful

to work with. I can't wait until the big ONE year shoot....even though it

is going to be very bittersweet for me.

Enjoy your summer and see you in the Fall.

Hugs!
