From Tom and Katie’s front-yard first look to the zany father-daughter dance which invited everyone to the dance floor… what a blast at this shindig! It was an honor and such a delight to get to know Katie and Tom as this event brewed. Such a wonderful couple! I also now enjoy some nostalgia in working with their families. Tom… […]

Seven kids, two mommies, two daddies, a fun space to play in… and portrait time!
September 24th, 2016. Alison and Albert each such a unique soul. United, a couple in a million. Everything wonderful about each of their personalities came together so nicely for this charming wedding day. Easy going, adventurous, campy (a bonfire!), a bow and arrow, and even their fur babies made a cameo at their sunset ceremony. Some surprise hot… […]

There’s a fun fact here, in that his ancestors contributed to the construction of The Temperate House at Missouri Botanical Gardens, something sweet and special to incorporate… […]
So here’s an enjoyable thing: If you must have portraits taken in Florida during summer, there’s no question it has be at the times of day when the sun is lowest. You’ll sincerely have the most magical experience. Working with Stephanie and Kevin on this sunrise beach engagement was completely enjoyable all around. They make the perfect… […]
TJ and Brittney were part of a production design to realize a nerdy dream. Both are huge Marvel fans. Both enjoy junk-yarding (like antiquing? it’s a thing!). They recently got married and weren’t ecstatic about the photos taken by another photographer, so we decided to make a second photo excursion much more personally rewarding — by designing a fully… […]
