Jones Wedding :: Tying the Knot

Kristin and Andrew were nothing short of wonderful to work with. They live in Florida, so when Kristin contacted me everything was via email and phone…until December when they came to STL for the holidays and we did their Engagement Session. Kristin has such a bubbly personality...I’m pretty sure that she smiles 99% of the time. Andrew was personable and patient with the all the pictures and that's a big order for most grooms. {grin} There wedding was at St. Paul United Church of Christ in Old Monroe, MO. It was a GREAT day and I’m sure you’ll agree that Kristin made a beautiful bride! I have to say that one of the highlights of the day was going to a little bar in Old Monroe with the bridal party. What a fun bunch! There were lots of laughs and it was clear that it was only the beginning of a memorable reception. Kristen and Andrew…I wish you the absolute best and thank you for allowing me to capture your BIG day.

Amelia's 6 Month Session :: Babies

All I can say is that Amelia just keeps getting cuter and cuter! She is just ADORABLE! For her 6 month session, we decided to go to St. Charles. Now…weather was pretty unpredictable that day…and it was colder then I had hoped, but we decided to give the session a go. {grin} Would you believe that as soon as we started, the rain became steady? I had to think fast. I spotted a porch of a business that was closed and said let’s go there. There was a fun colors door and brick…so the backgrounds/textures I was hoping for were there. Amelia was FANTASTIC! We all know that little ones have a shorter attention span….so it’s hard to know when “their done”. {smiles} I think it’s safe to say that with the cold, the rain and an outfit change…she lasted about 50 minutes and I thought that was pretty remarkable! GO AMELIA! I’ve posted some of my favorites from her session. In looking at these images, I’m reminded of why I love capturing children! It’s priceless capturing a child being a child….the wonder, the smiles, the looking off moments is what makes the image speak. Enjoy!
