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!

Hooray for Hank!! |St. Louis Children’s Photographer

Sorry I have been a bad blogger lately….using this slow time to catch up the administrative side of the business and ramping up for SPRING!!!  One of my dearest friends had her first child this week–here are some of my favorite pics from the day.  Welcome little Hank–you are loved!

A perfect 10. |St. Louis Children’s Photographer

Remember me??  I am back–after taking a few weeks off to regroup and get energized for a very exciting 2010!  I can’t wait to share lots of new changes that you will be seeing soon on my website and here on my blog!  Today was spent with this beautiful 10 year old!  I am sure her Mom has been checking my blog every hour to see if these pics are up yet–so I will get right to it!

First of the year! |St. Louis Children’s Photographer

What a great way to start 2010!!  Look at these beautiful faces!  It’s gonna be a great year!

Merry Christmas! |St. Louis Children’s Photographer & Mom

I wanted to wish everyone a very special Merry Christmas!  I am so grateful for you all, for allowing me into your homes and sharing your children with me.  It has been a wonderful year, and I look forward to everything 2010 will bring.  I can’t express to you enough, how much it means to be able to do what I love to do everyday of my life.  It makes me a better mom, wife, and friend, and for that I am thankful.

I am also excited to share the Giving is Awesome winner!  As soon as I am able to contact the family, I will share with you all.

I thought I would share a few pictures from this morning at my house–I think it was over in 3 minutes, but it was fun while it lasted!
