In my house he is known as Baby Will–but he is now officially a big boy–ONE YEAR OLD!!  Another beautiful cousin and her cutie pie Will.

Baby Ben! |St. Louis Newborn Photographer

This is my beautiful cousin and her 10 day old baby!  He could not be any sweeter.  I know you are dying to see these, so I will get right to it!!  xoxo

Sweetness. |St. Louis Baby Photographer

Here are a few from yesterday’s session.  6 months old is such a sweet age!  Now I am off to a newborn session–10 days old!  I love my job.

Lovin’ Lubbock! |St. Louis Children’s Photographer

I just got back last night from Lubbock, Texas!  I had the most amazing day photographing, talking photography, photoshop, and hangin’ with the fabulous, Lauren Clark!  I knew she was good before I took this trip, but wow…at a ripe old age of 24–this girl has it all figured out.  She has been an engagement/wedding photographer in Texas and is now moving to Stillwater, OK and revamping her business to focus on kids.  I tagged along on an engagement shoot she had yesterday afternoon–here are some shots I took from the sidelines.  I tried to use some new shooting techniques she taught me and hopefully after I practice and practice, I can incorporate them with my style.  Thank you, Lauren!  You are the real deal.

Let me out! |St. Louis Children’s Photographer

It was nice to be outside again today, even if it is in the 30’s.  Kids don’t care one bit if its cold–and I shouldn’t either!  Here are a few with my new friend.  Everyone should act like an 18 month old–I said goodbye and she blew me a kiss!  so sweet….

Baby Ben is here! |St. Louis Baby Photographer

My cousin, Krista, had her baby last night!  Welcome Baby Ben!   We are doing his REAL photo shoot next week, but here are a shots from his first day.  After all that blog stalking, you can finally look at your own child!  ENJOY!!  xoxo

Vacation. |St. Louis Ski bunny

This is will be me on the slopes of Park City, Utah!  I have been telling my husband for years that I am a better skiier than him, so wish me luck!

I will be on vacation until Monday, February 15th.  I will have access to email if you need to reach me.

Here she is! |St. Louis Children’s Photographer

I am lovin’ all the babies lately!!  This blue-eyed beauty is 6 months old–I love the 6 month milestones– they can sit up, they usually have a few teeth, and they love getting their picture taken!
