The M Family

We've been talking about doing this session for over a year now, so I'm so happy that we finally did!

Two kids can't get much cuter than this and I love affectionate they were with each other...




Little A goes to preschool with my son, so he was excited to get to see her photos as I worked on them...



Beautiful eyes!



We shot these on a Friday early evening and you can see the excitement from the kids when their daddy arrived from work!




I bet they always get along this well, right?


More beautiful eyes!


Love this one of the kids messing around and their parents laughing at them...

One of the last frames of the day and one of my favorites of the four of them!

Hope you like the photos, M family!

Charly and Sam

I think this family might be my most photographed family...or close at least! This is the 4th time this year that I've photographed my cousin's darling kids, Charly and Sam, and this time, we met up at Main Street, St. Charles. It's been so fun to watch them grown up, both in "real" life and through my photos. Charly is just a few weeks younger than my son, a little over 2 1/2, and Sam is right at 6 months.






This little guy is so laidback and doesn't stop smiling!

Such pretty blue eyes!











The only sad thing about these pictures is their daddy was at work and wasn't able to be in them. But I told Angie that he could schedule his own individual photoshoot and then I would photoshop him in...so I'll be waiting for that call, right, Rob?! ;)

The S Family

One of the reasons that I've been so thankful for this photography business is how it has allowed me to reconnect with old friends.

Flashback 8 years ago. Amy and I were both 22 years old, freshly graduated from college, and ready to start our first year of teaching high school together. The two of us took over the freshmen and JV girls basketball teams together and we planned our weddings simultaneously. It was so awesome to have someone going through the same things as me at the same time and I know that I always had a listening ear.

My husband and I moved far far away, halfway around the world, after this first year of teaching and sadly, I hadn't seen Amy since as her family relocated just as we moved back to St. Louis. In fact that last time I saw her, she was very pregnant with Noah, the 6 year old in these photos!

Through the wonders of facebook and blogging, Amy and I reconnected and we are now both the mother of two boys. I was so excited to be able to capture her adorable little family on their summer vacation back to St. Louis!
















Hope you love the pictures, Amy!
