St. Louis Photographer

When Liz said she wanted to get new photos of her family, I was honored when she asked me to do it! I know Liz from work at the school district; she is amazing! She helps coordinate one of the school's Oasis program (among many other things) and she is always so kind and helpful and a wonder to spend time with. So when she came to me for pictures, I was so excited to work with her as a photographer and meet her family. We met her husband, Jay, and children Jillian and Lucas.

Meet Marley! I met Marley four years ago when we set up at our first Pattonville craft fair. Her mom, Shelly, came by and introduced themselves. Every December after that, we had our annual checking with Marley and Shelly at the craft fair. Last year, when Marley was a senior, we were finally able to start planning! They told us about this beautiful park nearby that Marley and her sister, Maya, played at. It was called Bridgeway Park (well, at the time everyone knew it as App

For the fourth year in a row we've had the pleasure of photographing Melissa and Spencer's growing family. This year was amazing! Their son Hudson is now in kindergarten (I can't believe it!) and Adalynd was running around and being as adorable as can be. I can't believe how quickly they are growing up. They even brought along a few additional family members to join in and help keep Hudson and Adalynd occupied as needed. We hadn't seen Melissa's dad and Spencer's mom since th

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

This is the wedding everyone was waiting for! Chloe and Quentin are more than just high school sweethearts, they are two people completely in love with each other! They'd been together for nearly five years when Quentin surprised Chloe with a wonderfully orchestrated proposal (including a bit of false hope at dinner and a shocking appearance at her college apartment nearly two hours away later that night). A little less than a year later, they got married! Dec. 15 was a big d

We had an absolute blast with Mia earlier this month! Mia is a senior at Pattonville High School (I always love getting to photograph seniors from my alma mater!). We weren't able to do her pictures on her original senior picture day (bad tornado sirens!), but we were able to go out the following week and while the sky held out, the wind did not! Mia was a trooper as we trekked around Forest Park in near freezing temperatures. Looking at her pictures, you'd never know! One of

On Aug. 16, Marlin and Carolyn celebrated 60 years of marriage! To commemorate, the Henleys gathered up their friends for a 60th anniversary party. The party included dinner by all of our favorite caterers, speeches and a photo booth. Marlin was adamant that the event only last two hours, and they ended right on time, but still had plenty of time to spend with their guests who were excited to celebrate with the happy couple! Before the party, Marlin and Carolyn invited me to

During our Halloween-themed styled shoot a few weekends ago, one of the people attending was telling us about this cake contest she was entering. Deva told us about her designed, and showed us some pictures of her ideas, and it sounded amazing. Even more amazing when she was telling us about the flavors of her cake ... a four-tier cake with everything from chocolate to vanilla and a layer of lavender and raspberry and one of blueberry and cinnamon. Our mouths were watering! I

This family is the sweetest! We photographed Amy and Terry's wedding almost exactly a year ago. Their wedding was on one of the hottest days in September, and their family session was just the same this year! But everyone was so great, and the kids were wonderful (they had promises of park time if they put up with me and they rose to the occasion!). It was an honor getting to photograph them again, and getting to know their kiddos better. Ethan was so great with his younger s

We had the benefit of joining an amazing group of creatives in a styled shoot two weekends ago. We got to stroll around Ballpark Village, hang out by the pool and experience Three Sixty rooftop bar ... all places we've never really gotten to explore! On top of that, we got to work with these four amazing models for the day! And I thought last year's styled shoot was fun and full of style! But this year just feels so St. Louis! :) Take a look! We'd love to go and do more pictu
