Emma and Owen--6 months!

Remember these two?

Well, they are growing up fast! I love getting to photograph babies multiple times in the same year and seeing how they are growing and changing. These two are a little over six months now!





Daddy is SO funny!!










I had so much fun photographing these two and can't wait to see them at 9 months!

All 19 of them!

After my session with Amy, Eric, and their boys at Main Street, we headed over to Faust Park for a session with her whole extended family...all 19 of them! I have to say that whenever I shoot a large group like this, it inspires me to want to get my own family's pictures taken with all my siblings.

Here's the whole big group!




All the grandkids and their grandma (they call her Bushia!)



And now for the individual families...




And a couple more with Bushia...



Runaway!

Cute and colorful dresses!



Love this one of the cousins playing together!

Thanks for having me photograph your family!!

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!
