Stephanie + Ken | Engaged!

I met Stephanie at a Starbucks almost 2 months ago – we talked about her upcoming wedding and we found out similarities about each other – she is getting married to Ken at the same place that Chris and I had our wedding reception. So cool, I have not had a chance to photograph this location myself and I am very much looking forward to it! Ken has a Jeep that he is restoring and Chris and I have our Jeep that we have done work to! I asked Steph what her and Ken like to do to try to come up with some ideas for their engagement session that would reflect them the best. Their home is their favorite place to be with their pets so Steph and I thought what better location than to have a home engagement session.

Look below to check out my favorites from the day. Thank you for welcoming me into your home, looking forward to September!

Little Sophia | 6 month session | St. Louis Child Photographer

Here is little Sophia’s next session, you may remember her newborn session we took last fall. She has grown so much in such a short time! She was such a good baby, we had a rather hot evening and we changed her outfit about 6 times and she never once got upset with us – what a great baby! Matt and Sarah, you guys are so blessed, thank you for letting me capture her as she grows up, I cannot wait for her next session!

1 year old Nora | St. Charles Child Photographer

Meet little Nora, she just turned 1 year so we set up a session to document her in all her cuteness! We met at a local park and just played around with Nora, every time she did something cute I tried to capture it, she was a breeze to photograph. She was my first young client who went for me to hold her right when we met!

Little One Kayleigh | 10 days old | Newborn Photography

Meet little Kayleigh… so precious and sweet, she belongs to friends of mine Kendra and Tom whom have been on the blog back in the beginning of it’s days. I was delighted when Kendra asked me to document Kayleigh’s first photos. Enjoy!

Megan and Brandon | A St. Louis Engagement!

When I first met up with Megan and Brandon for their session it had been a few months since we had last seen each other. Right away I was reminded how excited I am to document them on this day and their wedding day. They are a fun and easy to be around couple – and – they are so cute together! As we were walking down the street I asked how they met, Megan told me “A long time ago!” “We started as friends first and then it grew from there.” You could completely tell by the way they acted with each other, best friends no doubt! Megan proclaimed to me that she is not a fan of photographs – but girl, you rocked it! Their session started around the Soulard area and then we hit up the City Garden to get some cool views with the Arch in the background.

Ben + Megan | St. Louis Engagement

She is my little sister and he is the man who is her other half. They met at Steak n Shake where they both worked throughout high school. Friends at first but quickly grew into a loving relationship of over 6 years now. Their wedding is planned for next May and it cannot get here fast enough! We started our session at Anheuser-Busch then headed to Lafayette Park (my favorite park in the city), and ended with Busch Stadium and a few Arch photos as the sun was setting.

Amanda + Ted | Married!

Amanda and Ted you first met last fall when we had their engagement session in Hermann. You can visit their engagement session here. They also had a beautiful wedding day, it was full of sun, laughs and friends!

Here are my favorites from the day…

Laura + Nate | St. Louis Wedding Photographer

Nate and Laura had a beautiful wedding day at two of my favorite St. Louis locations, the Jewel Box and Schlafly Tap Room! We started the day meeting up with the boys in front of Schlafly for some shots then we headed to the Jewel Box for the ceremony. Those of you who want an outdoor location indoors – the Jewel Box doesn’t get any better! The lighting was SO beautiful and the scenery around them was absolutely stunning. After the ceremony we headed to the Grand Basin for some really cold shots … it was middle of January… but everyone was a great sport! Then back to Schlafly for more photographs and then they had the reception inside! They day flew by as they always do, take a look below for my highlights…
