Family of Boys! | Des Peres Family Photographer

June 7, 2010

On Saturday evening, I attended the St. Patrick Center’s Irish Open Dinner Auction where I donated my photography services in the silent auction. The next day I had the privilege to capture a beautiful family who won the silent auction bid of mine at last year’s St. Patrick Center’s fundraiser! Talk about coming full circle. It was so fitting that their session was the day after this year’s event. We didn’t purposely plan it that way, but it was just perfect timing – coinciding with this year’s fundraiser that helps put an end to homelessness.

I’m so happy that the weather cooled off a tiny bit, so that we didn’t all melt away. This family is full of BOYS! Three young men who have a lot of life and share the joys of brotherhood together! How fun is that?! Their mom told some great stories to her boys that would make them break into laughter. I overheard bits and pieces of these stories, but I wish I heard them in entirety because she is  obviously a GREAT storyteller!!! Thanks for the laughs and enjoy the sneak peek!

If you’re not familiar with the work of the St. Patrick Center, check out their website. You’ll be amazed with all they do to help those in need.

Twins! | Ellisville Newborn Photographer

June 6, 2010

Not too long ago I captured this family’s pregnancy and yesterday I had the honor to meet and photograph their newest additions – beautiful TWINS! This brother and sister team have an entire crew of family members helping them in these first few weeks of life, which is such a blessing for mom and dad. I guess all that love is why these lil’ ones are so laid back and, in the most part, content. They made us work hard during their photo session, but it was worth the effort. Enjoy the sneak peek!

Two Luxe Albums | St. Louis Portrait Photographer

June 1, 2010

A year ago, I had the privilege to meet and capture this family’s lil’ boy when he was born. They selected the luxe album, that displays 30 images, for their keepsake. This year, I had the pleasure to capture this lil’ man the day before his first birthday and his parents once again picked out a beautiful album that they’ll be able to pass down through the generations. This time they chose a mini luxe album that compliments their newborn album perfectly! Couldn’t resist sharing images of both of these albums!  ** Please note: As of January 2012, Luxe Albums have been upgraded to the Luxe Matted Album. However, the Mini Luxe Album is still available. **
