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…
I’ve had a few clients bring their pets along for part of the shoot…But I’ve never had anyone bring pugs, and let me tell you, Lauren and Dan almost left with no pugs. I totally wanted to steal them. I know Aidan would LOVE them. I’ve always wanted a pug, but I know we probably…
Matt and Deanne are a dream couple. They’re sweet, adorable, and absolutely natural in front of the camera. When we did their engagement session back in November, I just KNEW their wedding would be a great one, and they didn’t disappoint! All of their wedding details were absolutely beautiful, and it was really incredible to…
I recently photographed the wedding of Dani + Joe – one of the most laid back couples I have EVER met. Especially Dani. Nothing seemed to phase her on her wedding day – she just kept a huge smile on her face the entire day. And she’s just like a friend, a very gorgeous friend….

Originally, Katy, Steve and I had planned to meet at a great outdoor location for their engagement session. But mother nature had different plans. Luckily, here in St. Louis, there are plenty of great indoor locations for engagement shoots! Katy + Steve picked the City Museum in downtown St. Louis, and what a great choice…

I might be a little partial, but that photobooth photo is way awesome!April 23, 2010 – 12:00 am

So you guys have seen this precious baby boy about a million times on the blog, but what better subject to test out a new lens on than my lil nephew? I can’t believe how big he’s getting and how much hair that child has!

I like the 2nd one. He has a cute smile on his face.April 15, 2010 – 5:40 am
I love this album. I have been anxiously awaiting its arrival for what seems like forever, although I must say this new company I tried out is SUPER fast. A little disclaimer before looking at the photos: I am a horrible product photographer! I did not do this album justice, so you’ll just have to…

I am SO excited to be shooting again! It feels like it’s been a million years since I’ve shot an engagement session, but I jumped back in this weekend with a really wonderful couple. And with some gorgeous sunshine, nonetheless! Dani + Joe braved the cold for an urban engagement session at Laclede’s Landing in…
When Elaina first sent me an email saying she wanted to do her bridal shoot in the church where she and John were getting married, I was a little nervous. Traditional portraits aren’t my thing. Not that I don’t appreciate them, they’re just not a strength. I like to shoot outside. Give me a field….

Gorgeous!!!! She totally looks like a model. I am leaning towards the color because I love the richness of it. But either way it’s just a stunning shot.October 14, 2009 – 7:29 pm
Very pretty! Love me some b&w, but I actually prefer the color shot for the one on the stairs.October 9, 2009 – 8:36 am
Beautiful Nikki! I love the ones outside with the golden light coming through her veil.
And I also like the b&w one =)October 9, 2009 – 7:36 am
Oh, and I think I like that one photo in black & white:)October 9, 2009 – 4:20 am

A couple of weeks ago, a big group of us participated in the Race for the Cure here in St. Louis. For those of you who may not know, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer back in ’03. I was in training to join the Army at the time. It was an awful experience,…

I got teary eyed too….I remember this.
I also remember Tanya asking if she and I could draw a smiley face on Carol’s bald head…..
She’s such a trooper….I’m lucky to have had the chance for her to be like a mom to me. You and Tikki are even more lucky that you had the chance for her to be your mom.July 9, 2009 – 2:09 pm
Nice that I got teary reading that. Raise your hand if you love Carol! July 1, 2009 – 6:49 am
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get this post up! I’m so behind with updating the blog. I had a session with this great couple on an evening filled with tornado watches. I’m so glad we made it through with no rain…or tornadoes. I’m not a fan. Emily + Lucas – I’ll…

Baby Clay arrived May 28 at 5:55 p.m. He weighed in at 7 lbs, 2 oz., despite being 3 weeks early. I can’t wait to share his birthday slideshow, but here are just 2 for now. He truly is a miracle baby. Now I’m going to go take care of my own baby, who is…
