I love to have engagement sessions with my clients. It gives us time to get to know each other, especially if we didn’t have an initial consultation, which happens when out of town couples book me over the phone/internet. With Christina + Justin, I had neither, which always makes me a little nervous. Meeting on…
I apologize for slacking on the blogging lately! Candy + Michael are getting married last year, and they were referred to me by a really fabulous couple I photographed last fall, Elaina + John. Candy and Michael are the ones I photographed for about all of 25 minutes right before a CRAZY storm. We’re going…

Ceremony/reception: Marriott St. Louis Airport Cake: Wedding Wonderland Lighting/Design: Millennium Design DJ: Millennium Music First look! I thought Millennium Design did a FABULOUS job with this wedding. The reception setup…

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…

About a year ago, Diane made an appointment to meet with me. I was JUST starting wedding photography full time, and she was one of the first clients I met with after moving back to St. Louis. I think I had one little tiny coffee table album to show her at the time. And she…

It’s actually a macro lens (90mm) but I really wanted this one because so many people said it makes a great portraits lens, too. And it does!August 25, 2009 – 2:00 pm
Cute shot! What lens did you buy?August 25, 2009 – 10:07 am
What lens is this?August 25, 2009 – 7:07 am
Several weeks ago, I headed back to my old stomping grounds in Columbia. I love that town, and it always amazes me how much it grows every time I visit. I didn’t fully appreciate all my years of college I spent there, but I appreciate my rare visits now. I’m really hoping that one day,…

Your picture-taking skills are admirable!July 7, 2009 – 1:08 pm
Wow. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve blogged. Sorry about that, especially since I have SO much to share! I’ll start with an amazing couple. I’ve known Manda forever. Our moms have been friends since high school. (Which is a REALLY long time. Hee hee.) I had never met JR until our session in…

These are super cute Nikki!April 29, 2009 – 8:34 pm
Today was crazy. That’s the best description I could come up with. But it was such a GOOD crazy. We woke up this morning (late! at 6:30 a.m.), got showered and dressed, and then we headed out to watch a friend of Dan’s re-enlist ON THE FIELD at Busch Stadium. How cool is that? Totally…
Here’s one from my session with my niece, Kelsey, on Saturday. We had SO much fun, and I really enjoyed shooting with a little sunshine! The full post will be up tomorrow!

Are you sure that’s not a pic of Michelle from back in the day? Seriously. They could be twins! Can’t believe how much she’s grown up. Where does the time go? *sigh*April 7, 2009 – 6:40 am
Aidan loves to go outside, so we brave the freezing cold weather and go to the park, even if just for 20 minutes. The child needs his fresh air or he gets CRANKY! I captured this photo at the park and when I brought it up on my computer, I thought he looked like a…

Awwwww, he DOES look like a little angel!!!! I love all his little hats.December 5, 2008 – 3:26 am
So, you’ve read about my wedding collections, but you want to see the goods. Am I right? Well, then this post is for you. This post is about the proofbook/box of prints. With Collection III for weddings, my clients have the option to get either a proofbook or a box of prints. (Either one also…
Mr. Aidan and I had a little mini photo shoot on Friday, despite the cold. The child loves to be outside – he doesn’t care how hot or cold it is, it doesn’t bother him. So we bundled up, and I let him run around for about 30 minutes. Isn’t he cute in all his…
