Drury Studio

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.

The first year – newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month

A couple of weeks ago I was able to travel to Boston…. well not really!  Boston came to St. Louis.  Elise’s mother Carrie just recently came back to the St. Louis area to be with family and I had the opportunity to photography this precious little one.   Last fall I took Elise’s older cousin Amia’s family photos.  So it was very neat to photograph another side part of the family and to do a joint cousin session as well.  Some of the last photos from this session were taken with both Amia and Elise.  Photographing a two month old and 14 month old was a challenge but we got the job done.  Thanks Corby and Carrie!  Carrie thank you so much for choosing me to capture these moment of time for you.  Grandma Pam thank you for letting me use your home as a studio again!  Here is a sneak peak of this session.  Enjoy!

At the beginning of the month I had chance to photograph sweet baby Ada.  Ada was born on January 13 weighing 8 lbs 9oz and measuring 19.5 inches long.  She is absolutely beautiful!   This was a fun shoot for me because Ada’s parents, A.D. and Amanda, are some of Sarah Jane and I’s closest friends.  We go to church together and have shared lots of life together as well.  So this shoot was a celebration of family and life for me more than a newborn session.  A.D. and Amanda congrats again on your new baby girl and I hope you enjoy this sneak peak!

Christmas has come and gone but I bet the memories of little 6 month Nathan will last a lifetime.  This session was a blast for multiple reason.  Reason one, the Christmas tree was up and all the decorations.  The house was absolutely beautiful. Great job Tiffany!  Reason two, all the session was centered around Christmas.  The backdrops, outfits, and props.  I love Christmas!  Reason three, I had an extra set of hands on this shoot.  My two year old daughter Ella tagged along with SJ and I to this photo shoot.  She did a great job sharing daddy with baby Nathan.  It was also fun to watch her interact with Nathan.  Tiffany and Kevan thanks for great shoot and I hope you enjoy this long anticipated sneak preview!  See you in a couple of months.
