We love Rombach's | Film

I've lived in St. Louis my whole life. I grew up in the county, moved to the city as a young adult, and then moved back to the county. Rombach's was always a yearly tradition. My mom took me there every fall as a kid. Here is a picture of me looking awesome with the pumpkins -



So I've made it a yearly tradition to take my kids there as well.

Baby Makes 5

I feel so honored that my family trusts me to be their photographer. I've done my cousin Nicol's family portraits 2 times. I photographed my cousin Emily's wedding. And for my cousin Casey, I photographed the maternity, birth, and newborn session of her second baby Layla, and now I am doing the same for this baby. And really, I wouldn't have it any other way. They are family and I am able to express how much they mean to me through the photographs I take. I'm not good with words so I am glad I have an outlet like photography.

Casey and Jacob already have two beautiful kids - Logan (age 3) and Layla (age 1) - and are expecting their third on November 1. And since they already have a boy and a girl, they decided not to find out the sex. So day by day, the anticipation is rising.

This session incorporated both mine and Casey's ideas. Since this is their last baby (so they say)Casey wanted it to be extra special and I know we achieved that. Well, this is what Casey had to say, and it pretty much had me in tears..

Cindy Feraro, you are my hero. Today you gave me a miracle. After the last three days filled with sickness in my house, yesterday climaxed with a night filled with multiple baths due to sporadic vomiting, a baby sharing my bed, two sleep deprived parents, and a 9 month pregnant Momma who hasn't had a moment to eat anything since yesterday afternoon. I opened my email, held my breath, and clicked the link. You immediately reminded me how beautiful my family is, without saying a thing. Those photos brought tears to my eyes, I bawled like a baby. You are so talented. How do you do it? It's flawless. You know I had my doubts, but looking at these photos no one would even believe there were odds against us. I am so grateful, so thankful. I can't wait to see the other two parts of this story unfold......

Having 3 kids under the age of 4 is going to be tough, but if anyone can do it, Casey and Jacob can. And I cannot WAIT to meet their new little one!











Cute signs that Casey made..



And the baby's name with start with a D, whether the baby is a boy or a girl..



Love this..



Little sweeties..

My Boys | Film

I really do have the perfect subjects. Yes, Jack whines about getting his picture taken. And Nico never stops moving. But I couldn't think of any 2 more perfect people to photograph on film. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are usually open for us and we try to go somewhere fun on each of those days (we hate being stuck in the house). On this day we went to one of our favorite places - Creve Coeur Lake Park. To Jack, it feels like we are in Florida again and he loves it. It is very difficult for him not to get all the way in the water. But, well, it's not the cleanest. So I tell him, just the feet. It was Nico's first time there and he made several attempts at running in, full speed. Which made taking this pictures a bit difficult. But I'm so glad at how they turned out. Waiting for the scans to come in is brutal, but I love how I didn't have to edit these film shots at all.





















And my favorite..



I shot a couple rolls of film during my last wedding and I can't wait to see how they turn out.. got to wait about 7 more days for those.. !
