Alyssa and Zach-Engaged

Meet Alyssa and Zach! I met Alyssa this year and she is AMAZING. She is the new music teacher at work and I just love her energy and love for music and teaching. She is from Chicago and so I have a special place for people who are from Chicago since that is where my hubby is from. Anyway, we headed to Laumeier for this shoot and it was great. I forget how easy it is to take pics of adults....I totally overshot, but that is okay. I had so much fun. Alyssa and Zach I hope you like your sneak peek! Your big day will be here before you know it!

Cain Family

Meet the Cain family! I met Stephanie through an awesome co-worker who gave me a referral! Stephanie and her boys were so fun to meet and we had a beautiful day in November to work with. Thank goodness we opted to do change from today to yesterday! We headed to one of my favorite parks for pictures and I got to run around with her boys. Boys are so fun to capture because it is much more of a challenge. Adam did not, and I mean did not want to have anything to do with me, but I ended up capturing his sweet smile and little personality. I hope you like your sneak peek!

Reiland Family

Meet the Reilands! We were finally able to work out their session a year later! Laura had originally contacted me with a session she had won from a trivia night over a year ago and at that time I was very close to having Stella and not doing any new sessions. Little did I know Laura was expecting too! We had then tried to do it in the spring and it just didn't work out, so we were finally able to schedule it for yesterday! And it was well worth the wait. The weather was just gorgeous and almost 80 degrees in November! Who would have guessed it. Anyway, Mr. Luke actually shares the same birthday with sweet Stella. Hope you like your sneak peek....

Hughes Family

Well this is my final post for the week. Number 5 of 5! Peter ended up having to do some work so I was able to crank these out. Here is the Hughes Family. You met Owen last April when he arrived into the family and now he is 6 months old! We headed to a beautiful park at 4:30. I wasn't thinking about day light savings when I scheduled the session, but we did it. The boys were great and they are just so stinkin cute. They are all going to be heartbreakers when they get older! Here is your sneak peek....

Catanzaro Family

These two little girls remind me so much of my own. Same in some ways, but more different. They made me smile and they drove their mom and little crazy because they did not want to smile for me. I am glad that I can totally relate to that because that happened with Nora this past summer. We still did get some shots and this is how we will remember them in years to come and tell them how funny they were when a crazy photographer with a one eyed owl on her camera. Anyway....here is your sneak peek....

Jack-3 1/2 months

Meet Jack! Isn't he just so handsome! You are going to see his cute face every three months until he turns one! He did so good despite the cooler temps. Once he got used to me he babbled and babbled! His mom and dad were pretty awesome too! I can't wait to see  how much bigger he is the next session. I love watching little ones grow.

Been Family

Family number two of the week is the Been Family! I worked with this amazing mom last year and she is awesome! I don't know how she does it and makes it look so easy. We headed to Tower Grove for this shoot and the colors were just awesome. The kiddos were so fun to capture and since they were a bit older I was able to do some different types of shots! I don't usually do this many for a sneak, but when you have four kiddos it makes for more pictures. Here is your sneak peek!

Steiner Family

This family begins the marathon Sunday shoot I had. I did five families yesterday! It was a lot....but on to the Steiners! Aren't these kiddos adorable or what?! Charlie and Lily were so on and cooperative I loved it!!! I just could not get enough of Charlie. He was a total charmer. And Lily had her special froggy friend from school along for the shoot too! And we cannot forget Kate! It was her big 1st birthday!!!! Poor baby was cold, but did great! Isn't she a cutie too and her mom came prepared with props and all! I loved it! I am going to have to steal the spray painted letters that spelled out ONE and it was so cute! Thanks for letting me capture your family. I loved every minute of it! Here is your sneak peek!
