Marcie and Brad : Married

Marcie was one of the most calmest brides that I have ever worked with. Right before Marcie was to meet Brad for their portraits, she realized that her dress had wood polish on it from the elevator. She didn't let this spoil her day. Marcie was glowing when she saw Brad and his smile when he saw her was priceless.

These groomsmen were awesome, they all helped to try to remove the stains.

The reception was at the Lumen which was fabulous!

The florists were amazing and they also doubled as wedding coordinators, every looked beautiful and ran smoothly.

Thank you to the fabulous Sara from SJ Macky Photography for having me second for this amazing wedding!

Joe and Stacy : Married

The fabulous Stephanie from Stevie Photography, I was the second for this wonderful wedding!

Happy Valentine's Day!

After seventeen years, I'm counting my blessings in love!

If you received a 'special sparkly' Valentine's gift, give me a call :)

Amanda & Will : Engaged

When Amanda called me and asked me to photograph her wedding, I knew was going to enjoy my time with her and Will right away. Amanda is so excited to marry Will and it's obvious!

Frickenschmidt Family

My visit to Austin, gave me some great to share with our dear friends the Frickenschmidt's. The Frickenschmidts were our neighbors at Covenant Seminary. Tim graduated three years ago and is the now the assistant pastor at All Saint's Church in Austin, TX. Elissa and I were always together in STL, it is such a blessing to have great friendships. Since, they have moved to Austin, they have added a new little guy to their family. We made time for a quick family session :)

Miss you all!

Snow Day

Yesterday was a snow day, but today was the real 'Snow Day'. I'm not sure how much snow fell last night, but it must of been close to 6 inches. Today we all ventured out and had a great time sledding. Here's one of my kiddos getting ready for their adventure!

This picture was taken with my Canon PowerShot SD990, I love it. I can tuck into my pocket for days like this, one of my favorite Christmas gifts.
