Monday night Sarah Jane and I went to shoot baby Audrey’s 3 month photos. This little girl is an animated little thing. She has the most beautiful smiles and is so easy going. We took so many photos of her that she got tired of posing and decided to take a nap on us. The sleeping shots happen to be some of my favorite shots from the session. I don’t think she take a bad photo especially with such big beautiful eyes. Take a look at the sneak peak and see if you agree.

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to do Nathan’s 1 year session at Tillies Park in Ladue, MO. This day might have been one of the hottest days this summer. No fear… we pressed on and thanks to Kevan’s great planning we had water with us on location. Thank you! This session was kind of sad and happy for me. Nathan was one of the first babies I have photographed. As reflected on the fact that this was the last session for the year I realized I will miss the Krestel family. This family really has become my friend. Thank you Tiffany and Kevan for trusting me to capture Nathan’s first year for and happy birthday Nathan! Here’s a sneak peak from the session.

This fast Saturday I had the opportunity to meet the Harmon family and photograph this beautiful family. This session was a Christmas gift to Mike and Ceci from the their kids. I think the wait was well worth it. Little Nathan made me laugh as he made faces the whole session to help the rest of his family relax. Check out our facebook site for some incredible photos of Nathan. This guy could be child model!
Thank Harmon family for a great session and privilege of taking your family photos! I hope you enjoy them for years to come.

Little Gabrielle is growing up. She is definitely a people baby. She loves people! We shot this session at the Sixth Street park in Wood River, IL and their where a ton of people for her to watch that evening with four softball games taking place. Gabrielle makes me laugh with all of her facial expressions. One moment she will be serious and the next it will be a full blown smile and hands in the air. Here a few photos from this session:



I can’t wait to shoot Gabrielle’s one year session! Jared and Danielle keep thinking up the great ideas for that session. It’s going to be awesome! To watch Gabrielle grow click the session you would like to to see – newborn, 3 month, or 6 month.

Happy Birthday baby Alexis! This little one will be turning one year old in just a few days. I can’t believe it has been a full year already. Alexis’ parents hired me year for the Baby’s First Year Package. This year has been an eventful year for them and a fun one as well. They have moved homes and their bundle of joy is walking and saying a few words now. Justin and Renea thank you allowing me to capture Alexis’ development through out the year! You guys are so blessed! Enjoy your sneak peak.
