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 :)

Forest Park Engagement Portraits | Allie & Matt | Film

It was a beautiful October day and Allie & Matt came from Columbia for their engagement session. I've fallen back in love with Forest Park, after getting a little bored of it. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, and their session was in the evening. Everything worked out perfectly. Allie is so adorable. She has a great smile and her and Matt were a lot of fun to hang out with. I even lost track of time. I shot a lot of film for their session, which is something I'm going to be doing with my 2014 couples for their e-sessions and weddings. I was thrilled when I received that e-mail telling me the scans were ready and I'm in love with every picture (thanks FIND lab). I love the digital pictures too and I've included my favorites at the end. Their wedding isn't for another year but I know time will fly by quickly.

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.

New Town Saint Charles Wedding - Dillon & Jaimee

An incredibly sweet couple, I was honored to photograph their beautiful wedding in New Town. Their ceremony was at the New Town Chapel and their reception was at the New Town event tent. Dillon and Jaimee have been together since middle school. I adore these best friendships that turn into relationships that turn into marriage. I think they are the sweetest.

They were surrounded by supportive family and friends, and a bunch of adorable kids. Most of whom enjoyed getting their picture taken. So it was a totally A+ day.

Enjoy my favorites, I had a lot..



















Love Dillon's face when he sees Jaimee for the first time..
