I've been a little busy. . .

I realized today that it's been 5 days since I've posted last - I'm sorry! It's been a little busy over here :) I shot my last wedding of the season this past Saturday in Columbia, MO [it was great to be back for a little while] and have been editing my butt off for the last week [or seven]. Some of the sessions I've shot have been babies and kids for past clients. Here are a few from those sessions:

First up is baby Alex at 5 weeks:

this one makes me smile :)

Next up little Jackson:

hahaaaa! he's making a cartoon face :)

And his baby sister Juliette, at 4 weeks here:

so peaceful. so pudgy :)

Tomorrow it's back to regular wedding-y stuff :)

Ali is 1!

I've taken a lot of photos of this cutie - at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and now 1 year!

such pretty blue eyes!

seriously mom. pick. me. up.

I love these two :)

my favorite from the day :)

the cutest little Halloween costume! I know she doesn't look thrilled, but she actually does like it. It was the end of the session and she wasn't happy that I was still sticking the big black box in her face :)

Thanks Matt & Tara!

Meet Pebbles

Pebbles is a beautiful Cocker Spaniel - adorable, sweet, and caring -

and is about to get a baby brother!

a cute family now - but even cuter in a few weeks, when Alex is finished baking!

ha! my favorite!

this one's a close second - it's kind of a silly shot. I like silly shots ;)

Ali

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there!
A few weeks ago I had a session with one of my most favorite little girls to photograph - miss Ali! I hung out with Ali and her Mom and Dad [who I've known for years - another reason why I love photographing this family] and I feel that this is the perfect Father's Day post. Ali definitely has Matt wrapped around her tiny little finger and it's really cool to see him be such a great dad :)
She's such a happy baby, full of personality and the biggest smiles around :) She's growing into a super cool kid who never fails to make me laugh!

I think she'll make you giggle a little too. . . .

so many faces!! a very expressive little girl :)

Ali got to spend her day playing with Dad - starting with a little toss in the air
[no babies were harmed in the making of this photo]

then we played with bubbles [who doesn't love bubbles?!]

I know I posted this one already, but I really like it :)
[I think she's gonna be a photographer. she was constantly grabbing at my new 16-35mm lens - she knows a quality toy when she sees it!]

Dads are tons of fun!

The End!

Luetkemeyer Family

I met up with the Luetkemeyer family a few Sundays ago on SLU's campus - bright and early before it got too hot :) Such a good looking family!

you may remember this pretty little girl from Michelle and Gabe's wedding last summer

we finished up the session by playing 'red light green light' in the grass :)

Thanks Lisa & Brian!!
