An annual tradition! I love, love, love ringing in the holidays with a festive photoshoot! Mid-late November we plan a holiday bash just in time to get those Christmas cards in the mail. Special thanks to Settings STL for use of their beautiful studio. Here are a few of my favorites from this year!

Late October and early November are key times to catch those bright and vibrant colors and this is always one of my most in-demand seasons! (I mean, just look at these leaves!) Nicole and Michael met with me the first week in November and we had an absolute blast on Main Street St. Charles. These […]

Baby showers are so fun! Everyone is excited for the new little one and between the games, the finger-foods and the gift-opening, there are so many cute moments to capture. I don’t find myself photographing many baby showers, mainly because they so often coincide with my weekend weddings. However, I have a couple tried-and-true assistants […]

What a stunning view for an engagement session! For Maddy and Daniel’s photos, we headed just north of downtown Chicago to the Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary and Harbor. From it’s beautiful fall colors to the iconic skyline, this location gave us the best of both worlds. We had such a fun time strolling through the […]

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Chickering! Rachel and Eddie had such a beautiful fall wedding at the McPherson! It’s so fun when the wedding party all gets ready in the same location. The girls were downstairs jamming to music while the guys were free to meander around the upstairs area. I especially love this because […]

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Fruits!  I traveled up to Indianapolis for Serena and Nick’s beautiful outdoor wedding and it was such a stunning day! These two said their vows at the Old Gray Barn, just outside the city. The early evening ceremony was in a forested glade and cocktail hour consisted of yard games […]

Late September and Early October often comes with unpredictable weather here in Missouri. For Lauren and Blake, this turned out to be an amazing thing! We decided to risk a thunderstorm forecast and headed to the August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area to spend the evening taking some portraits. What started out as cool, overcast […]

Kerri and Ryan are married!! These two carried on the family tradition of Labor Day weekend weddings and started off the month with a bang! We had rain in the forecast for most of the day, but the misty weather coupled with hints of fall on the leaves made for absolutely STUNNING portraits. September is […]

These two had such a sweet session last summer! Olivia and Brennan are getting married this fall at the Caramel Room and I could not be more excited for them! For their engagement, we found all the golden light-filled areas in Tower Grove Park and spent the evening hours taking some of the most joyful […]

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Walsh! Abby and Nolan had such a STUNNING summer wedding! After reciting their vows, we headed to Busch Wildlife for portraits. These two currently live in Seattle, and there is one magical spot right outside St. Louis where the trees transport you to the Pacific Northwest (not to mention – […]
