Lil’ Ben had a rough day today, but you’d never know from looking at these images. He is such a darling and his parents are so great with him. There was a lot of soothing today and it was amazing to watch how wonderful his folks were with it all. Enjoy the first sneak peek installment!

Meet Mr. Jack! | St. Louis Kid Photographer

May 31, 2009

What a fun session and what a trooper this lil’ guy was! Mr. Jack just turned two and was such a doll. So laid back, easy to please and pretty mellow. No terrible twos for this lil’ one! Our session got delayed due to thunderstorms, but we pressed on even in a bit of light rain. I love how his mom dressed him for the session…the red and overalls really popped with our surroundings. These are a few of my favorites from our Saturday session. Enjoy the sneak peek!

{I just LOVE this image!!!! The colors, the setting and his dear lil’ face is just too much!)
{What a beautiful setting and I love the duck that entered our scene!)

{It rained a bit more during our session, so Jack took the umbrella and enjoyed himself!}
{I’m so glad I brought the bike…I think the lil’ rider was happy too!}

Meet Mr. Elliott! | St. Louis Newborn Photographer

May 25, 2009

Meet Mr. Elliott! He’s such a fun lil’ one and such a trooper. The last time I saw him he was just a lil’ newborn and now he’s a whopping 9 months! Crazy! His mommy and I are bosom buddies going back to high school. I feel so fortunate to have her in my life and share our experiences in this wild world together. It was great to spend a few days with her family this past week back in Kansas. Always a lot of laughter and adventures with us! Here are a few of my favorite captures from my trip! Enjoy!

Growing so fast! | Ballwin Baby Photographer

May 16, 2009

I’ve been photographing this beauty since she was a newborn and at each session I capture an image of her in this lil’ bed. It’s so neat to see how much she’s grown as the months go by! It was supposed to storm today, but thankfully the weatherman was wrong!

The 25th annual St. Patrick’s Irish Open, sponsored by Major Brands, is a great fundraiser that helps the St. Patrick Center and I’m very excited to be a part of this great cause.

The St. Patrick Center provides opportunities for self-sufficiency and dignity to persons who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Individuals achieve permanent, positive changes in their lives through affordable housing, sound mental health, employment and financial stability.

The St. Patrick’s Irish Open offers an elegant dinner featuring silent and live auctions, followed by one of the area’s most distinguished charity golf tournaments. Dinner and auction takes place on Saturday, May 30, 2009 at Four Seasons Hotel in St. Louis. The golf tournament is on Monday, June 1, 2009 at Norwood Hills Country Club.

Happy Mother’s Day!

May 10, 2009

I had a wonderful Mother’s Weekend! Hope you enjoyed yours as well!

What’s to come…
This image cracks me up! Lily plays with her princess and prince as mommy kisses her very own prince.
I hope Lily finds her prince charming some day as I found mind!

They grow up so fast and all we can do is guide them and watch them on…


I cherish our giggle times!


I love how she still holds onto daddy’s one finger!


Now THESE are the Lily and daddy moments I adore so much!
If you can’t get them to smile at the camera, you do fun stuff like this.
I prefer these real captures!

I had such a great time capturing these beautiful siblings! The triplets were celebrating their birthday the evening of their photo session, so it was quite a day for them.
