Though weddings are my focus, it’s always SO much fun to change things up and shoot a family session.

I am so in love with this little man…

My new baby nephew.
I’m baaaaaack. 1. Baby Welch was sideways at my OB appointment last week, but the little guy flipped for me and now is ready to go! 2. Even though I’m completely in baby mode right now, I’m really getting the itch to start shooting some weddings! I’m sure it’ll come soon enough though.. 3. Aidan…
1. Last week, Aidan had to bring in Valentine’s cards for his class. And he had to write his own name. This would have been fine, except Aidan goes for extended day, too, so he had to have enough for 2 classes. That means 32 cards. That means writing his name 32 times. We tried…

So here we are. A month into 2011, and it’s still hard to believe 2010 is O V E R. It went fast, and it was busy. I took on more weddings than I anticipated, but they were each unique and beautiful in their own ways. I’m so honored to have been a part of…

Family Sessions: I love #6 because it captures such a sweet father/son moment. Engagement Sessions: #13 would have to be my favorite because for one, it’s such a great looking couple, and such a beautiful picture! Weddings: #20 has great lighting and two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet! Day After: #2 great job at capturing such a fun moment together for the new couple.February 1, 2011 – 9:02 pm

Wedding #5 of course… The most incredible day and captured beautifully by an incredible photographer! It was just a glimpse of the happiness, peace, and love that we felt within just hours of being married.

I fell in love with this family the minute I met them. They’re so sweet, they’re gorgeous, and they are Australian. What’s not to love?! We had so much fun playing in their apartment and at the park on a beautiful fall day in the city. I absolutely love the look on Liam’s face in…

Ten on Tuesday » St. Louis wedding photographer Nicole Welch - [...] 4. Liam is going bald. I’ll never forget when the doctor said she could see a full head of hair, dark hair. I’m sure i had the MOST confused look on my face. You see, we just assumed that baby #2 would just be a mini version of Aidan. Not so much, actually. But, he is definitely losing all the hair on top. He really looks like an old man now. Here’s a picture of all that hair from several weeks ago: (Much different from a picture I took just the other day.) [...]May 10, 2011 – 9:54 pm
