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...
