My Friend Rebecca and fellow photographer was called to shoot a Graduation party, but do to surgery I filled in for her. So Saturday evening Jenna & I went into St. Louis to photograph Logan Chiropratic Graduation Party at Kemoll's Resturant. They had dinner, which was delicious, a slide show, awards and dancing. And boy could they dance. Oh and did I mention the view was beautiful. Congrats class of 2010.
Here are a few highlights from the night.
Tolley Family Pics at Dos Lagos in CA
While in CA I got to photograph my photography buddy and friend Michele. Its so easy when you photograph a fellow photographer cause they know how to position themselves. Plus their family has been practice models for years so they know how to find the light and show me tude. Thanks for getting up early and smiling it up for me.
Love ya guys.

Congrats Ash and I will see you soon for your wedding. Here are some of my favs.

Jayma & Chris Engagement Session- Creve Coeur Park
Last weekend I got shoot Jayma & Christ at Creve Coeur Park. Okay the park is Huge but has so many fun places to photograph. It was pretty funny as Jayma was walking on the trail in Heels while there were people running past for the 5K run...She was Stylin. They were such troopers and great to work with. Then it happened...it was meant to be. I asked about the Wedding Party and lo and Behold same issues & names as mine..Seriously Exactly the names..How weird is that. It must be the names. I called my BF and told her and she laughed since she was one of the girls.
I can't wait till the WEdding. Here a few from that day.

I finally got to squish TJ today. He is such a cutie. And he is the only boy out of four girls. I have to say Babies like me..dark hair to stare at, goofy sounds that I make, and especially when I talk about how they get to hit on their older sisters hot friends. TJ thought that was amusing. THen poor TJ got love boob drunk and he was out. Thanks for letting me paparazzi him.
Doll Face Beauties
A few years ago I got to first photograph these beauties. Little L was just a few weeks old. So precious...Now they have grown into such cuties. I really had to hold back the squishing of Little L's legs. After acting like Grover and playing Elmo songs here a few pics from the day. Serious angel faces! THey don't have their dad wrapped around their little fingers or anything.
Laumeier sculpture park Family Pictures
When you start out family pictures your biggest hope is that everyone looks at the camera and smiles. That is great but I love the moments where kids are just being kids. Their silly faces, grumpy faces, and fit throwing make memories that are priceless. I love when siblings hug and tease eachother. When moms and dads still look at eachother and are reminded why they fell love. Those moments aren't straight forward with ready made smiles, they are head tilts, and giggly smiles, headlocks, and dogpiles......they are emotions that can only be felt. I am honored that I have a job where I get to be a part of such an experience. Thank you Lori for having me take your family pictures. I had so much fun. Here are few of my favorites.
Peyton's Palace
\ THis past week my sis n law came to visit and I got to take some pics of her and her belly....Seriously how beautiful is she.Peyton is lucky to come from such a great gene pool. Oh and YOU ARE NOT FAT!!!!
So Baby Peyton is coming soon and I can't wait to hold her. Actually I can't wait to see what color her skin and hair will be. She has two older sisters and each totally different:red hair/white skin & brown hair& olive skin...crossing fingers for a blonde!!! I had so much fun taking her pics. Here are a few favs.
Faust Park Family Pictures-Sneak Preview
So this is my favorite time of year. When the weather is crisp and the sun isn't blazing down..And fall family pictures are here. Today I got all three. I got to photograph Michelle and her beautiful family at Faust Park. I love it there cause you have so many places to take pictures and you can make it all your own. The kids were fun and it reminded me of my family growing up 3 boys and 1 girl. The best part of the shoot was when the Princess told me how she wanted to pose and where. Look out Tyra we have our next ANTM. Thank you guys so much for having me photograph you family. Here are some pics from the day...
Arrrgh Little Matey
So I have been waiting for this day for a while now. When I found his mother was going to have a little boy I naturally began to think of how and what I would do for his shoot. With his fathers love for pirates and Mother' s creative handmade props this is what we came up with. Is he adorable or what? AFter being dressed and undressed, stuck with tape,wrapped up, flipped over, and stepped over HE DIDN'T FUSS. Seriously great baby. I look forward to watching him grow and capturing those special moments.R&R Wedding- Spirit of St. Louis (Ladies First)
Saturday I got to photograph the beautiful Rebecca and The Beatles Tribute Player Ryan(. Can you guess which Beatle?) What more could you ask for? (Thank you Craig for shooting with me and for all your help, I would have probably driven the golf cart into the mud) Ryan and REbecca didn't just become Husband and Wife they continued their friendship that I believe will endure forever. I enjoyed photographing you both and wish all the best for many years to come.
Summer Family Photo Session-LOngView Park
So today I got to photograph the M family at Long View Park. This was part of a Family Photo Fundraiser that I hosted this summer. Little did they know what they were in for. Hiking in the woods, mosquitoes, being stung by a Hornet, crossing a river, and coming face to face with a 10pt buck(okay a little exaggerated on that part) but all for the love of family photos. Thank you guys for being so cooperative and willing to brave it out. Here are a few from the day.
Disa & Daniel -SanDiego, CA (Sneak Preview)
This past weekend I got to mix business w/pleasure. I got to photograph with my BFF Michele of Sweet Expressions Photography and I got play with my friends. I am lucky that I get to travel back to CA to photograph weddings and spend time with my family. I got spend time with my nieces and sis n law. I miss them bunches and since they grow 1 foot every other month I hardly recognize them.
I have photographed alot at the Temple and it is beautiful but I was so excited that the Bride &Groom wanted to go to a second location for their pictures. So we traveled to Balboa Park..Gorgeous!!! Of course I favored the bride cause she has great taste..Her dress was similar to mine and I love form fitting dresses with a bead overlay. Plus they are a good looking couple. They were so ready to be married and enjoy their life together. Daniel gave a toast and he said (not sure exactly but something along these lines) "I am sorry if I seem out of it, I am just on cloud nine today. I got to make my bestfriend my wife today" ...Seriously so sweet. Oh and Sorry Daniel for encouraging Disa to put cake on your face. I guess I am still bitter about my wedding cake disaster. I had a blast. Thanks to Michele for asking me to shoot with her and thank you Disa & Daniel for a letting me capture your day.

Ryan & Rebecca Engagement Session
First let me say it was a gorgeous day. When we first had planned this day we decided early morning would be best to avoid the hot summer heat, but little did we know about the awesome cool front that came our way. Overcast and cool what more could I ask for as a photographer. Well I got a bonus. It is rare these days you find a couple who is willing to meet you at 7 in the morning and walk all around Forest Park. Well I got one and I got a soon to be bride that is such a sweet heart and it so humble. Cause I don't think she really understands how beautiful she is...Oh and Ryan was such a good sport. HE braved the pollen, climbed up on ropes, and smiled continuously. Thank you guys so much for this opportunity. I look forward to next month. Ryan practice your dancing.
REBECCA & RYAN'S ENGAGEMENT PICTURES
Woodsmill Swim Team & Fundraiser
For the next few months I will be photographing Woodsmill Swim Team and heading up a Photo Fundraiser for them. Here are a few peaks at some of the swim pictures. I have to admit I did get a laugh each time they had to get in the cold water(okay it was luke warm but we were in the shade). They would shake and shiver but they were good Sports.
Thanks to all the Parents and Coaches for all they do for the Team. If anyone wants any information on The Fundraiser or how to set one up for your Organization please drop me an email and I would be happy to send you info.
Emily & Ryan - Lake St. Louis
I usually get a chance to meet the bride before the wedding, but this time I got to meet her just as she came out the temple doors...and I was so excited. NOt Just another bride..a bride who I believe was born in the wrong era. She wore a vintage dress from LONDON and carried herself like a true lady. She had an elegance about her that was memorizing...Oh and Ryan wasn't too bad himself. We started off at the LDS Temple in St. LOuis and headed to Forest Park for Bride and Groom Pictures. We did run into another bride who I believe had bride envy over Emily. I had so much fun. I got to shoot with a great friend and photographer,Rebecca Frazier, a beautiful bride & Groom, and the weather was very cooperative. Here are a few sneak peaks..Thank you Emily & Ryan..I had a blast. Congrats!!!

Baby Seth
Look at my muscles!
While in Cali I got to photograph this adorable baby boy. He was such a good sport. He was stripped down, put on a cold hard surfboard, and had to lay next to the creepy monkey. I don't know why its so cute to see babies cry, but when his lip started to stick out I just melted. Thanks Lindy and Ryan for letting me capture this special moment.
