Happy Birthday Elle! It is so hard to believe that a year has already gone by. Gabrielle has been quit the model of the past year. We have done photo sessions in the backyard, under the Christmas tree, and at city parks. Gabrielle knows how to pose and smile for the camera no matter where the session is. She has such a sweet personality and is incredibly charming! Jared and Danielle thanks for allowing me the opportunity to photograph Gabrielle. I have really enjoyed getting to know your family and I really feel apart of your family. Thanks! Have a great birthday party baby girl!

Meet the Cleve family. On Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful family. All photos where shot on location at their home in Ellisville, MO.

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.

Harmon Family {Edwardsville, IL}

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.

Baby Elise {Boston, MA}

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!

Ada Jane {Bethalto, IL}

Drury Studio — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 19:35:04 +0000

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!

These little kiddos are so special to me. Hannah, Abbie, Josiah, Jonathan, Sarah Jo, and Joanna are my nieces and nephews from Arkansas. I love going to visit them and teach them and do all the thing uncle things with them. Being a uncle is just a blast! One of the traditions we started about three years ago was family pictures around Thanksgiving time. Well this post is this year’s family photos. I have posted the family and individual photos. Oh… if you can’t figure it the family is huge HOG FANS! I am so lucky to be their uncle and I enjoy them so much. I hope you enjoy watching them grow up!

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.

To see how Nathan has grown go check out his newborn session and his three month session.

Ivester Family {Godfrey, IL}

The Ivester family did a combo session right before Thanksgiving. They combined family portraits with their son Wyatt’s one year portraits (click here to see his 6 month session). We used several parks here in Bethalto and even Ashley’s parent’s backyard for some shots. I can believe how this man, Wyatt, has grown over the past several months. It is amazing to watch him walk and start to communicate with people. It never gets boring watching little ones grow. Ashley and Eric thank you for choosing me for your family portraits. I hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

Norris Family {Bethalto, IL}

This photo shot was a very special shot for me. Before I was ever related to this family I was family. My birth father and Uncle Max where great friends and so I have always had a special spot for this family in my heart. The second reason this shot was so personal and special is because Betty is a survivor of breast cancer. This past year Betty was diagnosed and she has been doing treatments every since. This has been a scary time for us as family but we also know the Creator of life is helping us through this time. Betty has not stopped serving God through all this and the family has grown closer as well. Another reason this shoot was so special is that Max and Betty will be celebrating a huge mile stone in their life this coming January – 50 years of marriage! Congratulations early and set your sites on 60 years!

Thank you Shannon for allowing me to capture these special moments in your life! It was a lot of fun to work with you all. Enjoy these photos for years to come!
