Fountains

Right now I'm completely overloaded with editing and will be posting lots of weddings and engagement sessions soon. But for now, here are some pictures of my son playing in the fountains at the Children's Zoo today.. he had the absolute time of his life!

L Family Photos

I took pictures of this family back when mom was pregnant with baby Lucas. Now that he is 7 months old, they needed some new ones! We went to one of my favorite places to do pictures - Kimmswick - and they turned out quite well. With the help of an Elmo doll, I was able to get both kids smiling! Here are some of my favorites..

1-year-old Liya!

Little Liya turned a year old a few weeks ago so we went to Forest Park to take some pictures! I photographed her mom and dad's wedding and I also took her newborn pictures. It was an honor to get to photograph them again - they are great people and it was a lot of fun :)













She just started walking about a week before we took these photos!

Married! Natalie & Jon

Natalie and Jon were married 2 weeks ago at the Peace Chapel in Defiance, MO. Their reception followed at Chandler Hill Vineyards. Many of my favorites are in black & white so you'll see a lot of those in this post. I had a lot of favorites from this wedding..



Jon surprised everyone with a crazy mustache before the ceremony began. Silly me, I actually asked him if it was real. It looked like real hair! We took some pictures with it and then he pulled it off.



Natalie getting ready -



The perfect little flower girl and ringbearer -



Natalie was all smiles during the entire ceremony, it was great









We stopped at a biker bar in Defiance between the ceremony and reception - here's everyone in front of the place -



Natalie's sister brought these frames to use for some of the photos - turned out really cute -



Beautiful bride -















I love big, dramatic floral centerpieces -

Little Man Silas

Last week I took pictures of my friend's adorable son, Silas! He is 18 months old. We just ran around Vlasis Park during one of those 70 degree days. It was fun!







Giving mom a hug





We are going to have a second session to go along with this one because after awhile Silas was like, "Okay photographer lady, I've had enough!" (as shown in the pic below, lol). His tantrum was very reminiscent of the ones that my son throws so it was no big deal!

Hello!

Just a cute picture of Jack!

Wedding season is about to start up for me so check back soon with lots of wedding photos!
