Miss Megan | Portrait Session

Megan did such an amazing job modeling for me this weekend, I promise you are going to see more posts of her in the future. She already plans on working on an upcoming project of mine. Thanks Megan for coming out my way and entrusting me enough to go to weird and crazy places for your shoots! Love ya!

Kisbac Family New Addition | Palatine IL

Most babies 10 days and younger spend the shoot sleeping, this little guy was wide awake. He wasn't about to miss hanging out with me for anything. But my super powers and a extra dose of milk knocked him out long enough to gets those sweet cheeks (both top and bottom) sound asleep for some amazing shots. No worries, his awake ones were awesome also!

Paluch Family | St. Louis MO

I met this couple years ago at the Varda wedding. Another one of the many couple I have been blessed to photograph on their special day. Right off the bat I feel in love with Ryan and Jessica. Ryan even made me dance on the dance floor with him and at one point decided I needed to dance and he would be the photographer ;) These two are one of the couples you just know are fun, humble, and just filled with AWESOMENESS! Yes I said awesomeness. :) So not too long after they had the beautiful Payton! And she is cute as a button! But these 3 live in one of my favorite cities, St. Louis. So they have come up here for pictures and this time I got to go there for pictures! I can't wait to see them again! I am thinking for some belly pictures....hint hint!! Get on it you two, you know already know you make cuteness!

Love you three tons! And much love to Jen and Pat for bringing us together, now Pat and Jen this is your que for belly pictures also!

Mautner Family | Northbrook IL

I did this little peanuts mom's belly pictures a month ago. Such a sweet family!

Dad is a red head, and I may not be able to tell the future, but I am thinking this cutie is going to take after daddy. :) Love it!!

Arns Wedding | St. Louis MO

Heidi and I go way back. She is one of the nicest people you can ever meet. Heidi is also the most honest and humble person I know, and I am honored to call her my friend.

So fast forward and she meets this ridiculously good looking guy named Jerry and they decide to get married. And they honor me by asking me to be their photographer, and not only are they entrusting me with their special day but they then invite my husband and daughter to join in the celebration. So we turned it into a weekend getaway. Enjoying St. Louis's wine country at Mt. Pleasant Winery in Augusta MO. Everything there was perfect, and the staff was amazing, if you are getting married in Missouri I highly recommend doing it here!

I loved this trip and after surviving a very crazy drive through Missouri back county I got to see one of the most beautiful vinyards east of California. I can only imagine was a CA vineyard looks like.

Thank you Jerry and Heidi, you are two beautiful souls that found each other and I know will share many many years of blessings. And thank you for allowing me to have my husband and daughter there to enjoy not only in my passion, but also a fun night or tearing it up on the dance floor! I don't think Sam will ever forget it, nor Boyce and I. Dancing the anniversary dance was so humbling, every wedding should do that, being able to be up there with so many other couples was inspiring.
