Dream big for the smallest moments

We got to join this precious family once again when their newest member arrived. What a home overflowing with love! Big brother takes his job very seriously as he tenderly cares for his baby sister. And while it doesn’t always happen, we are ecstatic we got to be a part of a big milestone: her first smile! We look forward to growing with these smiles for many years to come.

They took a chance on love!

This beautiful couple invited us to join them for their engagement photos this past fall. Their love story is very sweet; teaching us to take that leap of faith and be brave enough to take a chance on long distance love. Their young puppy joined us as well and brought love and energy to these cozy outdoor photos at Kirkwood Park and Queeny Park in St Louis County, Missouri. We look forward to joining them on their special day later this summer!

Growing in love!

To ring in the new year this family gathered for smiles on their front steps to show their new home AND their newest family member to be! This adorable little guy was very excited to share his big news: he was going to get a baby sister! We had a joyous time with them capturing this special occasion and look forward to meeting this new princess any day now. Stay tuned for those photos!

Family session turned announcement!

I scheduled this family’s photo session thinking we were just getting the annual shot for the holiday card. Boy, was I wrong! Out of the car hopped the brothers with t-shirts with writing on them. Before the parents even got to me, I’d read the news! So excited for this growing family and what fun to capture their announcement photo.

Anniversary photos!

You’ve done the engagement photos, and the wedding album is printed and sitting on your coffee table. You’ve had a couple kids and made sure to capture their births and milestones on camera. And maybe you’ve gotten the whole family together for the annual holiday card. But when was the last time you took a professional picture of just you and your partner? Your soulmate, the one whose been through it all with you and keeps you laughing? This beautiful couple came to us to capture such a photograph. Their devotion to one another as well as their matured, ever lasting love shone throughout their session with us at Elizabeth Park in West Hartford, Connecticut. It was a rare privilege to see and we were so grateful to be a part of it. Happy anniversary for many years to come!

Girl power continued!

This beautiful little peanut comes from a long line of some of the most caring, supportive and loving women we know so we made sure to include all that love in her photo session. While Great Grandma is no longer with us, she was very present through her ring on Nana’s hand. We loved capturing the new love in this growing family.
