Freddie O Freddie!

So, we’ve all come to terms with the fact that I’m just not a blogger, right? haha

I work very hard to give my clients a fun & memorable experience when we’re working together…& beyond that to provide them with beautiful images to forever capture some of life’s most precious & often fleeting seasons for them to look back on with love & joy in their hearts. Then, I move on to the next bit of delightful photos for someone else & generally don’t share much with everyone else (all y’all), it’s just something I’ve never really gotten into a good habit of doing. Part of me is sad that there are SO MANY gorgeous, funny, sweet images that y’all haven’t seen, but the other part of me is okay with that, since the people that the photos really matter to are getting to enjoy them as often as they like - that’s the most important thing to me.

ALL of that being said (& hopefully making a little bit of sense), I’m going to attempt to do a few posts (without much commentary) to get a few fresh images on here that I can pin to some of my boards to help clients gain some inspiration for their sessions & to showcase a little more of how I approach various sessions as well.

For now, I’ll just kick things off with a fun overview from all of the sessions I’ve done with Freddie (my baby) since his arrival over 15 months ago (how is that even possible?). I hope y’all enjoy!

Well, that was fun! haha
I hope this little dose of Fred baby brought you some joy - he’s pretty good at doing that. ;)
Happy Day!

Henry's 6 Month Photos // St. Louis Child & Family Photography

Hey y'all!  Happy Tuesday!  I hope everyone is doing good & was able to catch a glimpse of that amazing eclipse yesterday (in person or on tv) - It was pretty spectacular!!  I'm already looking forward to it swinging around again in 7 years - I think we'll need to take a little camping trip somewhere along the path.  :)

Okay...
Are y'all ready for this?  
I don't think you are.  haha
The time has come to share more from this adorable 6 month session I shot a few weeks ago.  Sweet little Henry is one of the most smiley babes ever!  I guarantee his bright eyes & this perfect family farm setting will bring a big ol smile to your face too!  I don't really have much else to say - except that one of my favorite images ever is at the very end of this post, so just keep scrolling.  
ENJOY!

Look y'all...one hand!

Time to let the horses out.

So glad we got to bring all of your fun ideas to life Derick & Emily!  I loved every minute of this fun session & I can't wait for whatever fun we'll be having for his 1st Birthday Session this winter.  :)

Briar Funke's First Year! // St. Charles Family Photography

I have  been wanting to share all of this sweetness with you for quite some time now!

I have had the amazing opportunity to capture so many beautiful families as they grow (some even before mom & dad say "I DO") - it truly is such an honor & such a joy!  So, I wanted to put a little post together from one of my First Year Packages to give everyone an idea of how important & awesome it is to document all of the beautiful growth that takes place in such a short amount of time!  (I'll try to post a couple more families soon too!)

I believe it really is so important to have precious images like these to cherish many many years from now - right?!  & not just for you, but for your kiddo's too!  Don't we all love looking back at photos of us & our parents from years ago?  It's always good to have something to look back on & remember the joy &  beauty in these fleeting moments!  

If you're interested in having this sweet season of your life captured please check out some of the details on my CONTACT page & send me a message - I'll get back to you with lots of details, answer all of your questions, & we can make some plans to freeze a few of life's blissful moments for you!

Thank you Jake, Colbi, & sweet little Biar Gray for continually inviting me to share in so many beautiful seasons of your life!  Love you guys!  :-*

Cecily & Adella's 7 Month Sweetness // St. Charles Child Photography

Look who's back...Cecily & Adella!!  Can you believe how big they've gotten?  I have so much fun getting to capture so many sweet littles growing up - my cheeks were hurting from all the fun we were having during their session.  haha  If you want to compare this cuteness to how tiny they were when we met go see their newborn session here - Welcome Cecily & Adella.
Instead of 6 month photos we opted to wait until the girls were sitting a little better, & since they were actually 1 month old for their newborn session we figured it would be alright to wait a little bit...& it was perfect timing.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!  

Seriously...aren't they so beautiful??!!

Jayden's 6 month cuteness // St. Charles Family Photography

Are you ready for this?

This little guy had me grinning from ear to ear the entire time I was with him...&...yep, I'm still grinning now as I post these images!  haha I had the privilege of capturing the beautiful wedding of this little dude's parents a few years ago.  & I was so excited when they wanted to revisit a spot where we did some of their engagement photos for his 6 month session - it was pretty perfect - just like their sweet growing family. 

Sometimes you just can't contain the excitement!

I love getting to share in so many special seasons for my clients - it's such an honor & a joy to watch them grow into strong, happy, beautiful families!

It's easy to see that the love just keeps on growing.  It was so good to see you again Steve & Farren...& of course meeting Jayden was a wonderful treat too!!
