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!

Jason & Marti - A St. Louis Spring Wedding

Isn't it ironic? It's like raaay-eee-aaiiin on your wedding day! (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.)

Even though it was a rainy day, it was the most perfect day for Jason and Marti to vow their lives to one another in the presence of God and their friend's and family. 

This wedding was the embodiment of this wonderful couple. The day was stress-free and with so many laughs, despite the sheets of rain that caught us during pictures. You could feel the love pouring out of them to the one's able to join them on this special day. From Marti's grandfather walking her down the aisle, to Jason's heartfelt speech about his own grandfather he lost just a few days prior now being able to be there to see him get married to his beautiful bride. It's not often this photographer is able to keep dry eyes at a wedding and this one was no exception. 

To the couple I am lucky enough to call my friends, I wish you the world and all the love in it for ever and ever.

Cheers!

Werner/Roberts Family - Fall Mini Session

A Mini Session has the potential to not allow you to get to know your clients all that well since it is such a short amount of time. I try to do my best prior to ask questions and chat about their interest and hobbies, what they link to do as a family, etc. But the Werner/Roberts crew had no problem bringing me into their life as a family. They are lovers of science, comics, and sci-fi! I had such a great time learning more about all kinds of science from Kyler. Talking about what he likes most, where he would travel, and why he wouldn't want to go into space. Kids like Kyler, with a desire to learn more about the world around them, will make this world a better place to live in the future.

Bright Family - Fall Mini Session

Meeting new clients and families is always fun but, I have to be honest, one of my favorite things is when clients come back. I love it when I get to catch up with families I worked with previously and seeing them grow. 

The Bright Family, I feel like embodies their last name, they are just bright people! They bring sunshine into your day, especially Quinlan. Her little giggle is so contagious. I think I had more fun than they did just running around and laughing with all of them. This was one of my favorite Minis to date.
