A few photos from my visit with the very beautiful baby Alex and her parents (my friends) Ben & Kara.

Moonrise Hotel Family Photo Session

A morning at the Moonrise Hotel photographing my friend Abby's family..

It had been several years since their last family portrait and this was the first time, in a long time, that the whole family was together in St. Louis. I'm grateful to the Moonrise for lending us their lobby to take pictures out of the cold. They were so courteous and helpful! And thank you to Abby's sweet mom for choosing me to photograph the family :)

Snowy & Icy St. Louis Engagement Session

I'm so excited to share these images from Craig & Denise's engagement session a few weeks ago. It had snowed the day before and with the 45 degree temperature the day of the shoot, we just hoped that the snow would stay. I'd never done a session in the snow until now and it was just a great change of pace. Denise has great style and I loved everything about her outfit. She wore a dress but didn't freeze her butt off too much since it was in the 40s. While the sun was setting we finished up part 1 and headed to Steinberg Skating Rink in Forest Park for part 2. My plan was to get all night shots at the rink since they have the beautiful strings of lights hanging above the ice. They are not only new clients of mine, they are my friends. Craig is one of my husband's best friends and when he started dating Denise I was really hoping that marriage would be in their future because I, and everyone else, just adored her. So happy to get the opportunity to photograph one of the most important days in their lives.



















This sums up Denise & Craig.. always laughing :)











Steinberg is unique to them because it is the site of one of their first dates. Denise taught Craig how to skate. And for this session, Craig bought Denise her very own pair of fancy skates. They asked me if I would like to skate too. I kindly declined, knowing that I would surely just embarrass myself.













Oh, the full moon.. the skyline.. the blue/purplish sky (I didn't have to adjust the color).. the lights.. just magical..

Goodbye 2013, we had some good times

2013 was a great year

My favorite year, as far as business is concerned

I had the most fun, and the most success

Got to see so many past clients, and new clients too.

I went to the Chic Retreat Seattle, and later attended a film workshop put together by the very talented Clary Pfeiffer.

I love to learn and I learned so much at both of those.

My family went on an amazing week long trip to Florida

I got a new fancy logo

Some of my artwork was featured in the Studio Altius SEEN art show

One of my images was featured on Let the Kids Dress Themselves

I've started incorporating film into my wedding & engagement sessions

And it just makes me so happy and excited

Yes, it was a good year.

And here's to another one

Thank you to my clients for trusting me with your most special moments

And in honor of it being winter and all..
