Kristina and Julian had the most beautiful wedding in October! But what was the most wonderful piece was how in love they were. The way that they looked at each other throughout the day, and the moment they saw each other in the church as Kristina walked down the aisle, was filled with so much love and respect. Even their vows were full of wonderfully sweet, silly and inside-jokey moments that they, and their guests, laughed and awed at. Everyone from them to their wedding pa

People should do this more often! Lindsey is graduating from Lindenwood University in December (education major!), so we took some senior pictures! College senior pictures are a great idea! It was really neat getting to take graduation pictures with Lindsey. We got to take some cap and gown pictures (with a champagne celebration!) and we got pictures with Lindsey's rings ... not just any rings, but the rings she got from earning back-to-back national jazz championships with t

Samantha Kunza is going places. This all-star athlete is a senior at Timberland High School. Not only is she an wonderful woman, she is an amazing athlete ... she is All-American in hammer throw. For most of her life, Samantha has been perfecting the hammer throw ... I sort of think of it like the discus or shot but, but with a metal ball attached to a grip by a steel wire. The ball weighs upwards of six or more pounds and the winner is determined by how far the hammer is thr

Emily is a senior at Timberland High School. She plays doubles tennis and is going to college for nursing. I have known Emily since she she was in elementary school. I think this has been the first time in my life I've had that moment of disbelief of how quickly kids grow up! When I found out she had her driver's license, I just couldn't believe it. And now that she's a senior, I'm in complete shock. But it was a total honor to get to spend an afternoon with her to take these

One of my favorite things about photographing families is seeing the dynamic between everyone. When it's time to edit, I love seeing those dynamics captured for a lifetime. This trio below was a blast to work with! Stephanie, her fiancé Casey and her son Brandon were so wonderful! There is such a great connection between them. Even after a little boo-boo, Brandon bounced back to being the most energetic little guy I think I've met! He particularly enjoyed playing a new game J

Meet Allyssa! She is a senior at Timberland High School and has less than two weeks of school left! (I know, how crazy!) She's involved in broadcast media and HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America), and, in the fall, she will be going to St. Charles Community College to start her degree in nursing. She enjoys shopping, adventuring with her boyfriend, Trevor, and, like all of us, relaxing and watching TV. Allyssa is incredibly sweet, friendly and outgoing and has a wond

Meet Michael! He's a senior at Fort Zumwalt South. It was exciting to talk to him about journalism, since he works on the school newspaper. He said he enjoys features and writing about entertainment. Michael is hoping to go to Mizzou and he's interested in a career in writing, possibly comics. We also share a love of entertainment, especially the Marvel movies. It was a beautiful afternoon and a great time spent with Michael and his mom! I really like this picture of Michael!

Meet Kollette! She is a member of the Class of 2018 at Timberland High School. We were honored to meet her and work with her on her senior pictures. It was such a pleasure getting to know her. She keeps herself busy. She is a varsity dancer and on the soccer team. Last month she was named homecoming queen at Timberland. She is involved in HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America), and is looking at going to Maryville to become a doctor or nurse practitioner. The day of ou

Meet Jake! He's a senior at Francis Howell Central High School. We met him and his mom on Easter and they essentially took us on a little tour of Cottleville. We are familiar with the area right off the highway (because of the Moe's!), but didn't realize there was such a great downtown area and park so close. We talked to Jake about him, school and his family. We learned that he is the youngest, and thus the last to graduate, which is coming up this June! Crazy! Jake's mom, S

Meet Evan! This super fun senior will be graduating in May from Francis Howell North High School. Evan plays volleyball and is involved in DECA. In the fall, Evan is heading to Maryville University to study cyber security. We met him on a particularly nice February day in St. Charles for his photo session. I don't know that we've laughed so hard during a session. Evan was a blast to spend the afternoon with. And we learned a lot about him, from his love of dogs (think squirre
