Hey y’all, I can’t believe it! It’s the middle of May, and school is letting out in so many area schools. I love summer. I think it’s actually the best season as it features some of my favorite days and activities: my birthday, July fourth, warm weather and sunshine, days at the pool, cool lemonade,…

Hey graduates, I’ve got some exciting news!  I’ll let you in on a secret… I was very upset on my graduation day that an afternoon rainstorm ruined my chance of fun cap-and-gown pictures. It was so frustrating for me. I had worked my whole life for that moment, only for it to be rained on.…

Y’all, this weekend’s Christ Our Rock Prom – Photo Event was absolutely amazing. All week long, the forecast called for heavy rainstorms. Guys, that’s just what happened for the first hour of our shoot. But, God parted the skies, and the last 45 minutes, it was barely sprinkling {plus – we even got a little…

Old St. Charles is one of my favorite places in the St. Louis area. It’s just so cute and charming! So, I was more than thrilled when we schedule Natalie’s senior session on Main Street and the nearby waterfront. Natalie is such a sweetheart with a true servant’s heart. I had the joy of meeting…

Oh my goodness gracious! This blog post is one of my favorites. I had such a fun time taking Hannah and Halle’s pictures. Hannah and Halle are two of my new sisters that I gained when I married Hayden. They {along with Loralai} are so much fun to be around and radiate joy. Hannah and…

I met Anna a month ago when she was being crowned homecoming queen. I could tell in the few moments that I met her, she was a really sweet young lady. Goodness, gracious was I spot on. Anna was an absolute doll during her senior session. I could easily understand why her class voted for…

I was so thrilled when Zach’s mom, Cris, contacted me a few weeks ago about scheduling a fall senior session. I was even more excited when I found out that Zach loves the fall, playing the guitar, and laughing. {I knew we were going to get along great!} Zach was so much fun to photograph.…

Back in August, Austin and I ventured out in Southern Illinois.

Oh my goodness!! I can’t believe that in almost a month, Tre and Tatiana will welcome their baby girl “T” into this world. I have known Tatiana (or Tati as I grew up calling her) my entire life and looked up to her like a big sister. Almost two years ago, I celebrated their marriage…
