Christmas!

This past weekend I took some pictures of Samantha and Madison - 2 of my good friends' kids. Samantha is about a year and a half. Madison is about 10 months. We just did the pictures in front of Madison's Christmas tree at home. Next year, I'm thinking about setting up a Christmas display at my house and doing photo shoots there.

Andrew & Katie

Congratulations Andrew and Katie!

Their November 1st wedding was my last wedding of the year. Now I'm on maternity leave from wedding photography until March, when my next wedding is scheduled. I can't wait to post photos of my baby!

They had a traditional Mormon wedding ceremony and the photographer isn't allowed to be there during the service. But I caught several photos of them walking out of the church right after the ceremony concluded.

We had a lot of time in between the ceremony and reception to take lots of photos around Tower Grove Park. They turned out so pretty!

The flower girl loved the camera! She kept posing almost every time she saw me.

Everybody at the reception was wonderfully energetic :)

I thought this was an interesting photo. At the time, I was just focusing on the mom swinging her daughter around while dancing. I didn't even notice the couple kissing until I uploaded the pictures. It's nice to find surprises like that.
