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.

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.

Baby Audrey is such precious little package.  She was only 10 days old when we shot these photos or her.  She was super easy to work with and light as a feather.  This little girl only weighs about 5lbs with a few ounces on her side.  I’m sure by now she is starting to put on some weight.  After holding Audrey I’m reminded of the amazing miracle God gives us as parents when he gives us a  new life.  Every baby is a blessing and a gift from God!  Mike and Beth you are a blessed couple and family.  I hope you enjoy the sneak preview and we will see you in a few months!

Baby AJ is now 3 months old.  I can’t believe she is that old!  This little gal has amazing patience for the modeling and when she would get bored of modeling she was just fall asleep.  On top of developing her modeling skills she is learning other neat trick like raising her head while laying on her belly and grinning at things she likes.  I am always blown away at her beautiful blue eyes.  They are breath taking!  Take a look at the photos below and see if you don’t agree that Ada should be the next Gerber baby model.

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to do this session at Tillies Park in Ladue, MO.  I had never been to this park but I was amazed at all the stone work that was used in the park – stone walls, entrance ways to the the park, the restroom facility and of course landscaping.  They also had a great playground with incredibly bright colors and things for all ages to play on.  This was a great place for this session.  Great idea Tiffany and Nathan! I would have to say little Nathan is not so little anymore.  This little nine month old is turning into a little boy right before us.  Nathan is crawling and when propped against something can stand up for a while.  I even have one shot from the session where it looks like Nathan is waving to everyone in his suit.  Watch out capital hill this little guy could be coming for your job.  This was such a great session and I am so pleased with the results.  Here’s a sneak peak from the session.

Baby Lucas made his world debut on February 8th.  This little guy weighed in at 7lbs 10 ounces and was 20 inches long.  Lucas’ mommy had all kinds of fun outfits and hats to put him for this shoot.  He was a trooper and very easy going during the session.  Lucas has one of the best boy room’s I have ever photographed.  I wish I had a room as cool as Lucas’.  Heather and Chris put a lot of thought in it.   It was so bright and fun!   Lucas keeping growing buddy and thanks for being a great sport!  Chris and Heather thanks for letting me capture this special moment in your family’s life.  Enjoy your sneak peak!

Have you all heard of “Matilda the Gorilla“?  Well apparently it is a little silly song to sing to your kids.  It is also one of  Gabrielle’s favorite songs.  If fact, Gabrielle turned the mommy & daddy ipod (their voices) on to Matilda the Gorilla and pushed repeat.  Every time Jared or Danielle would get to the chorus, the part about Matilda singing, Gabrielle would go crazy and start bouncing.  Thanks to some creative singing I was able to capture some great expressions during Gabrielle’s six month session.  Plus I will be singing the song all day now.  Who knows I might even post the lyrics to the song.  But for now I’ll give you a sneak peak of the session.  Thanks Jared and Danielle for a great session!  Enjoy!
