Carter at 19 months

Carter, former star of my business cards is at it again! As one of my best friend's sons, I have been photographing Carter since the day he arrived home from the hospital. The drive to St. Louis creates a few months between sessions, so each time we get together I am amazed at how much Carter has grown! He looks like such a little boy now and is doing lots of talking! I realized he must be getting some more teeth because he had something in his mouth in nearly every photo! Can't wait to see what new things Carter will be up to on my next St. Louis visit!

Baby Nicolas

Having newborn photos taken in the midst of holiday shopping and crazy weather can be a bit tricky, but Baby Nicolas lives close by... it was easy to coordinate our session in the comfort of his new home with all of his great accessories nearby! His big brother was the most energetic and proved to me that babies don't need peace and quiet in order to rest... little Nicolas slept through his big brothers excited cheers and silly jokes and stayed awake for quite a while, too! Congratulations to the whole family on their new addition!

The Worden Family

I met the Worden Family at my neighbor's Open House in November where they were the lucky winners of a half price sitting fee on their next session. I took their holiday photos on an icy Saturday afternoon in early December, just in time for them to share their portraits with family and friends this holiday season. I had a great time getting to know each of their children's personalities...

Surprise Baby Shower

I took photos at my neighbor's surprise baby shower a few weeks ago... The frosted blue cupcakes provided some priceless photos and the cold rain outside also created a unique backdrop...

The Corrigan Family

I was able to capture the Corrigan family's holiday photos during one of the last nice weekends in November... They picked a great outdoor location, a little park off the Du Page River... the children had a great time watching for geese, playing in the leaves, and their dad's idea... tossing rocks over the bridge! I loved capturing a few extra silly ones when I told them we were going to create a "surprise" for mom and dad... they had some great faces for those ones and had a few tender sibling moments as well... Lucky for me, the Corrigans live close by, so I can be sure to capture more special memories throughout the year!

DC Dogs

Lucky for me, one of my best friends lives in DC, so I take the opportunity to visit her at least once a year... This year, I scheduled a few sessions with her neighbors and their dogs... their Alexandria townhouse neighborhood is filled with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities... Meet the DC dogs and enjoy their spunky personalities...complete with a few Halloween costumes!

Fall Portraits

Since our move a few months ago, I have met several friends in the area that have quickly become my clients as well... Fall is my favorite season of the year for many reasons... but primarily because the foliage is such a colorful backdrop for portraits. Here are a few favorites of my dog, Buddy, at Hammel Woods...
