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!

Michelle + Criag // Creve Coeur Lake Park Engagement Photography

Oh these two...I'm so excited about their wedding tomorrow!  
We had so much fun romping around the park together for some sweet, natural, laid-back images of them last fall...& I know their wedding will be just as fun!  

Craig & Michelle like to hike & mountain climb together.  When they reach a certain point they take a photo saying where they are & how high...when they set up for their picture on Mt of the Holy Cross Craig's sign said something a little different than usual & Michelle didn't even realize it right away.  
How fun & creative is that?  & He made those signs!

It's always fun when the boys have a photo idea that turns out adorable (below).

Nitu + Joe // Creve Coeur Lake Engagement Photography

I'm glad I still have so many sweet, fun, & colorful sessions to share with y'all during these quiet winter months!  
How about another fun Engagement Session from the fall?!  These two are so stinking adorable!  You can tell how in love with each other they are by spending just a few minutes with them.  Nitu dabbles in photography, so she understands how important that part of their wedding day is & she was also very aware of her body language during our time together - which helped make their session even more relaxed & darling!  I hope you enjoy these!

Aren't they so sweet??!!

I'm looking forward to your Klondike Park ceremony this September guys!!
