I was so glad to be able to help this momma celebrate her birthday by photographing their precious new addition. Eight-day-old baby S is quite the gorgeous little baby. T&J, thank you for letting me meet your little one! Enjoy your preview...
I absolutely loved meeting this sweet couple and their eight day old little peanut today! I honestly could not stop photographing him! P&D, I can tell how much you already love your new addition....and what's not to love. Enjoy your preview!
This little four-year-old was all about the poses! She made my job so much easier because she LOVED the camera!! All of the accessories and halloween costumes are from Crossin My Heart Creations.... owner and designer Shannon Crossin creates the most amazing items! It's impossible to choose my favorite image from this collection... enjoy your preview!!
Thunderstorms were in the forecast all day, but when we met for our shoot this evening, the sun was out and it turned out to be a gorgeous night! Even more gorgeous was this little lady, who has some of the most beautiful eyes I have seen! J&J, I loved meeting your family... I need to bring along your parents and grandparents on all my shoots!
And some days, we just don't quite feel like smiling.. but we certainly look pretty darn cute even when we don't! These are some of the moments we want to remember forever...
With HUGE rain clouds over us, we had to work quickly to fit this shoot in! Luckily, this little one was full of smiles and adorable faces! And I LOVED her ballerina moves! A&M, enjoy your preview...
I have the AWESOME job of photographing items from Crossin My Heart Creations for their website. Check out these adorable newsboy hats for girls and boys!! The perfect accessory for fall! And since I couldn't wait to test out this hat, my own little one became the perfect model!! Head over to Crossin My Heart Creations for the cutest specialty items!!
This gorgeous mother of two was in need of some new head shots. Judy Zisk Lincoff is a mental health therapist and also teaches at Washington University! When she's not working, she spends time with her adorable little grandson (yes, can you believe she is a grandma?!) who I got to see today as well! Enjoy your preview, Judy!

I'm a mom to a
precious little boy.
I love being a mom.
I'm a wife to one amazing man.
I love being a wife.
I'm not an amazing cook.
But some evenings,
I like to pretend.
I'm a daughter.
I must talk to my mom daily.
I'm a photographer.
I love newborns.
I think big pregnant
bellies are beautiful.
I believe children
make people smile.
I love my life.
And I love being able to capture
how much you love yours.
