The McKnight Family - St. Louis Autumn Session

The McKnight family emits joyfulness and love.  Between their 4 exciting and giggly girls the love that Rolinda and Jim have for one another is true romance. They are a model and inspiration for all God-fearing couples.

I am lucky to call them friends.

Cheers!

Ullrich-Baxter Family - Autumn Family Session

Blending two families together is always tricky.  I personally have been a part of blending many families together over the years.  That is actually how Jessica Ullrich became my sister, and her two boys Huey and Henry, became my nephews, our parents got married to each other 5 years ago.  I am so thankful to have her in my life and I am thankful that she now has a wonderful husband, Jared, and his daughter, Remington, to make their family complete again.

Jared and Jessica have an intense love for each other and their children.  You can feel the passion when they are all together in the fun and laughter.  Between Huey, Henry, and Remington the giggles don't stop. For a girl that has been an only child her whole life she has jumped right in to the role of sister and doesn't let her new brothers push her around.  I am excited to watch this family grow and flourish in the years to come.

Love you all!

The Bredbenner Family - Autumn Mini Session

What a fun session!  We spent the whole time laughing and playing with sweet little Teddy.  He was such a joyful light to our overcast Mini.  I know Teddy gets all his good looks and happiness from his incredible parents, Steve and Elizabeth.  Not only are they one handsome couple but are some of the most wonderful people I know.

I always love being able to shoot with friends.  I consider it a true privilege that they trust me to capture these special moments in their family's life.  Knowing that Teddy will next be this old again, that they won't have this season in their lives back, and wanting to document their family of 3, I take is very seriously in wanting to provide the best images to savor these memories.  

I hope the Bredbenner Family can cherish these for decades to come!

The Puma's (plus a bump!) - Autumn Mini Session

I have had the privilege of knowing Daniel for nearly 2 decades.  We went to high school together and when his lovely wife, Elise, finished Law School in Oklahoma, they moved to St. Louis for her new job.  Over the past few years I have got to know them as a couple and I couldn't be happier to call them both friends. 

Their love for one another is beautiful and undeniable. Just being around them makes you smile.  And now they get to share that love with their little bump!  That's right, a baby Puma is on the way!  To think of Daniel and Elise and how wonderful they are, I have a feeling this is going to be a WonderBaby!  A child that is smart, articulate, cultured, eating THE BEST FOODS (Daniel is an incredible chef), and not to mention cute as a button.  I cannot wait to meet it, and I know I'm not the only one.

Happy Bump, Puma's!
