Bailey Maternity
This session! Oh my heart! Something is incredibly special about photographing a dear friend's ( for many years!) maternity photos! Such a beautiful summer evening to document a special time! Lil Alice doesn't even know how much love is waiting for her when she arrives next month!
Incandescently Happy!

For weeks before Matt and Abby's wedding it had been raining constantly! Morning of their wedding was a huge answer to prayer with a beautiful sunrise and no rain! The rest of the wedding day was so beautiful and perfect with a small ceremony with just family and a reception following later in the afternoon with friends coming to celebrate with them. It's days like these that make me love what I do even more!

I had so much fun photographing this special day for Heidi and Timothy! I have known them since we were all little and now having photographed their wedding, well it's just really cool. Everything went so smoothly and the whole day was calm, even when the sprinklers in the downtown square came on during portraits ( just a few feet away from Heidi!) Congrats Timothy and Heidi!
This lil lady has some moves!
Matt and Abby - Engaged
Words that I love to hear " Just do whatever you want, be creative!" Hearing that and also this session being with two friends of mine made it so much fun! I love being a part of exciting stages of life and capturing it in artistic and real ways. Can't wait to capture their next milestone in just a few months!
Jack and Millie - 67 Years of Marriage
This Valentines day I wanted to bring a special love story. There is something so beautiful about a love that has lasted for many years, young love is special in it's own way, however a love that has weathered life's ups and downs, that's beautiful. A marriage that has stayed true to the vows that were made on the wedding day, this is the story of Jack and Millie's love story.
December 23rd 1950, Jack and Millie became husband and wife, but that was far from the beginning of their love story. It began on bicycles in their families neighborhood when Jack was nine and Millie was eight years old. Around 11 years old, Jack's family moved to St Louis for his Dad's work, several years later Millie's family moved to St Louis as well. Starting over in a new city, they began to settle and found a church that they enjoyed. The first Sunday at Millie's new Sunday school, she found herself a few rows down from an old friend, Jack. That began their friendship anew, and around the ages of 15 and 16 years old they began dating. They continued to fall in love and at the ages of 20 and 21 they realized that although they didn't have a penny to their names they wanted to be together and so they became engaged. On the 23rd of December 1950, they became husband and wife. On the wedding day, Jack had 35 cents in his pocket but they felt rich in the love they had for each other.
I asked as we finished talking about their marriage and love story if they had any marriage advice that they would give, after a moment to think this is the advice they gave:
" Be so busy that you don't have time to disagree on anything" ~ Millie
" When you have an argument, make sure to forgive in the end. Forgive and forget!" ~ Jack
After being married for 67 years, having run a successful business and raising a family together I think they know a thing or two about lasting love and a successful marriage!
Happy Valentines day friends!
