Annabelle is ONE // Missouri Botanical Gardens // St. Louis Child Photography

I know I've been posting lots of kiddos lately, but tis the season I guess.  haha  I promise I'll be posting more weddings & engagement sessions soon - it's just about that season now as well.  ;)

But for now I want to introduce you to my adorable niece, Annabelle Constance...she is the sweetest, cheeriest, cutest little thing ever!  I love the way she laughs, cuddles her little baby doll, pats me on the back when we hug, & smiles so big you think her face is going to get stuck that way.  haha  She has a way of turning my heart to mush & I love that I get to watch her grow up.  

She was a little sleepy & hungry when we started our journey, but warmed up after some food & then really piled on the charm during the 2nd half of the session.  haha  

She wasn't too sure about those leg warmers, but you could tell she felt adorable as can be in them.  ha

See what I mean about her big smile...we were all laughing & having so much fun!

Oh darling girl...I love you so!

Finn's Adventure // Francis Park // St. Louis Child Photography

The spring air has me excited about all things warm, colorful, & adventurous!  & I can't stop thinking about this AMAZING session I got to do last summer alongside the wonderful Kristi Pinkham - a styling genius.  Of course the adventure would not have been complete without the delightful, spirited, & might I add, adorable Finnley.  

He was just about to turn 3 when we shot this & was such a good sport about everything.  Kristi has such a great way of bringing a simple session to life with fun props for the kids to interact with as well as a boost of beautiful, creative energy (can you imagine having more of that at a session with me - it's pretty wonderful! haha).   If you've ever thought about doing a styled session, debate no longer & just do it!  You won't regret it & you'll have more than just vibrant photos in the end, you'll have some great memories from the experience as well! 

Okay...enough jabbering & onto the images...I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

These next images are to give props to Kristi again for her spirited creativity she brings to the session...I love working with you darling...hopefully we'll get to do it again sometime soon!

Okay you adventurers...get out there & see the world!!

Little Miss Vivian // New Town, MO Child Photograpy

Hey there bright eyes!  

Is she so cute or what?!  I had so much fun doing this session for Vivian.  She is about 18 months old & will be a big sister soon, so this is an important & fun season to capture for her & her family.  :)  This is a girl on the GO!  I'm pretty sure she didn't stop moving the whole session...& usually she was headed in the opposite direction of where we wanted her.  haha  But, even though she kept us chasing her around the whole time, I think we were still able to grab a few goodies to capture her just as she is.  I hope you enjoy! 

Her momma had some pretty adorable ideas for this shoot (note the perfect hat, suitcase & fashion magazines)...but all Vivian cared about was getting the yogurt covered raisins & making a run for it!  haha  We may have to try that again another day.  ;)

See what I mean?  haha  But seriously, these are some of my favorite images!

See ya cutie!

Lindi's Loves // Wentzville, MO Family Portrait Photography

Well, I probably don't need to convince you of the fun I had with Lindi & her little darlings.  They are such a spirited bunch & brought all of their very unique personalities to the session with them.  It felt more like sister playtime than a family photo session.  haha
