Mini Sessions

The Bredbenner Family - Autumn Mini Session

in ,

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

in , , ,

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!

Bright Family - Autumn Mini Session

in ,

The Bright Family is always so much fun to work with.  They are so lively and energetic.  We spend most of our sessions laughing with their 2 girls, Quin and Ro, and running around playing.  It is so easy to capture their love for one another because you tell that this is everyday for them.  I hope to continue saving these special times in their lives  together through the upcoming years.

Cheers!

Chris & Laura - Modeling Organic Movement

in , ,

I recently attended a workshop on how to implement gestures and organic movement between your clients to achieve a more natural image, something I've been striving towards my entire career. It is a lot harder than it looks, especially when most people are camera shy. I decided to enlist the help of some beautiful friends and try out my newly learned techniques.
