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!

A week ago I took Alexis’9 month photos.  When I walked into baby Alexis’ home the other evening I could not believe how quick she was crawling around the house.  She could even take a few steps behind her walking.   Alexis has such a great nature and temper.   She also is very photogenic and knows how to interacted with the camera.  However because she is so aware of her surrounds she found a neat new toy with one of my props, the green apple.  I have so many photos of her with her new teething toy.  The sad part is that the green apple covers her beautiful little smile.  If you look real close in the first photo you will see she is starting to get teeth.  Watch out mom and dad biting will soon follow.  This age is one of my favorite development mile stones in the first year.  It is so fun to watch them really begin to discover the world around them as they crawl and walk from destination to destination in the house.  Renea and Justin enjoy this stage just as much as the others because before you know it she will be forming sentences and reading books.  Here’s a sneak peak of this session.

Little Gabrielle turned 3 months right before Christmas and I was able to capture some very festive photos that can only happen around Christmas time.  As I finish editing my eyes are drawn to picture number four of this post.  I love the simplicity of the baby under the tree with a big red bow.  What a simple shot but so beautiful.  Jared and Danielle you have a beautiful baby girl.  I can’t believe that a baby as small as Gabrielle changed the world for eternity.  That baby’s name was Jesus.  Jesus’ birth is why I celebrate Christmas because without Christ my life would be meaningless.  Thank you Jesus for coming into the world to save the us from our sin!

Little Alexis continues to grow and develop.  This sixth month session almost didn’t happen because Alexis was upset but when  her daddy came home from work and played with her she was ready for “show time”.  This little girl is a natural in front of the camera.  The fourth photo in this post was not posed.  She struck the the pose.  Justin and Renea you might have a diva on your hands!  This visit was fun to not only see how Alexis has grown but to see her mommy and daddy’s new home.  A lot has changed for the better since our last session.  Thanks for helping me create some beautiful photos for your daughter!  Enjoy!
