The Howard Family - Lily is 6 Months!

This family is all smiles. They are so positive and full of life and laughter that our session was a total breeze! Not to mention, their love for their daughter, Lily, is so beautiful. I am lucky to call them friends and be able to document this wonderful time in their lives. Happy 6 months, little Lily Jean!

Did I mention Lily is a ham for the camera? ;)

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!

Sindelar Family - Mini Session

The Sindelar Family was so much fun to work with. We just played with leaves and told jokes and made silly faces. It was the best way to spend a quick Mini Session on a chilly November afternoon. I am so happy with the out come of our session.

Cheers!

Luke & Camille - Styled Castlewood Engagement Session

I have few words that can do this couple and session justice. They are absolutely stunning and the fact they trusted me enough to style their session was so much fun for me and them too! 

Luke and Camille have known each other since high school. After graduation they both spent time abroad but upon returning stateside they found themselves back in their hometown, and as Camille would say, the rest is history. They love to travel together, spend time outside going on adventures, and love on the newest member to their family, Kylo. I have known these two from a little less than a year and they are already some of my most favorite people. Both of them are so smart, witty, loving, and welcoming. They truly are a perfect pair.

Luke was so sharp in his Navy Express suit. Camille, an absolute siren in that Bari Jay gown. I fashioned the bouquet, which was incredible, if I can brag on myself ;) , and even made a little floral collar for their fur baby, Kylo. We spent the afternoon hiking through Castlewood State Park, just outside of St. Louis.

Here is to a lifetime of love, laughter, happiness, and puppy kisses. Cheers!
