Erin + Michael

A beautiful wedding with beautiful people = a TON of photos! I'm gonna keep the jabber short since I should have left the house about 10 minutes ago to get to a meeting :)

one of my favorite shoe shots - I love that texture!








[I love the getting ready shots!]






Erin's very pretty, and VERY easy to photograph!








[This shot was taken at exactly 11:52! They have a great tree in their front yard]








her ring was beautiful! and his ring was his Dad's - how sweet!


this is what happens when you have 5 really young flower girls and ring bearers :)






this is her reaction when the priest referred to her as 'Mrs. Hopfinger'


those darn Catholic ceremonies don't always have 'the kiss' so I made them stop to do it :)










I really love this shot! All of the clouds are pointed at them!


reception was at Windows on Washington - always nice!


they had an ice cream bar for their guests instead of a cake - I love it!


[favorite!!]






The End! Congratulations you guys!!!

Katie + Travis • e-session

After little Ali's session a while back I met up with Katie and Travis - a September bride and groom who happen to have graduated with me. It was great - we hung out, caught up with each other, and had some Dairy Queen to top it off :)


they brought along a 1948 Chrysler limousine [sorry guys if I got the year wrong!] for the pics - you'll see more of it later!




we just drove around downtown Cape and found lots of cool and rundown places for pics


[it's fun to play with their height difference!]




it was a cloudy day but there was some awesome light in that rundown building!


the sun finally came out a little past sunset time, and gave us really pretty golden light [I was a little pumped about that!]




I love that car :) and yes, they're bringing it to the wedding!






FAVORITE!!!






[still fun to play with their height]


The End!

thanks guys for choosing me! see you in september!

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!!

Lynn & Carson

I met up with Lynn and Carson a few weeks ago for a Father's Day session [he already knows, so I'm not letting the cat out of the bag!] We roamed around beautiful Main St in St. Charles and got some fun pics.









[gazebos are good for jumping, in case you didn't already know]





The End! Thanks for the lovely morning!
