I've said it before but it bears mentioning again. I am so grateful to my faithful clients! Faithful clients that continue to hire me to capture each and every major milestone in their lives. I'm honored and thankful! I have been with this family for engagement pics, wedding, maternity, first baby and now here we are with baby number two! Congrats Grant and Malerie! Miss Tatum is perfection and Brooks is going to be a wonderful big brother. Thank you. :)
A couple of weeks ago I hosted Fall mini sessions at Lafayette park. I'm so grateful for all of the families that came out, especially the families that continue to support my business time and time again. THANK YOU!! :)
When I photograph families my overall goal is to capture love. As cheesy as that may sound, its true. I'm not focusing on having everyone look at the camera, I'd rather capture the connection they share with each other...which also brings out natural smiles, happiness and joy. Its my goal to capture families as they are, in whatever season of life they are in...even the crazy toddler moments when it feels like total chaos! These are the memories that will bring a smile to your face twenty years down the road. I love this family session. Such a fun family full of love and happiness...and craziness with two small boys. :)

I've been photographing this family since their engagement session! It's always a blessing to me to watch families grow and to be asked again and again to photograph their special moments! :)
This sweet family wanted one last photo session as a family of three, they are expecting a baby girl in February! :)

Jessica contacted me a few weeks ago and said that she and her family would be in St. Louis house hunting in mid May. She wanted to book a session for her son Solomon who would be turning 100 days old. It is Korean tradition to photograph and commemorate the baby at three months old, or 100 days. We had planned to do the pictures in Forest Park but the day of our session it was storming. Heavy dark clouds and heavy rain. Ugh. Since they were only in town for a couple days we weren't able to reschedule and ended up shooting inside their hotel room. I actually love how these turned out! Happy 100 days Mr. Solomon! Thank you. - A :)

Last weekend I held my first ever Mama & Me mini sessions. I'm so grateful for these mama's and their kiddos, I know it's not always easy stepping in front of the camera. ;)

It's said that families who play together, stay together...in this case it's families who play guitar together stay together! Grant plays guitar and Brooks loves to hear is Daddy play. He loves it so much that he always try to "help" and they ended up buying him his own guitar. :)
