The Hords!

Met up with this awesome family in Old Town St. Charles.  They are a wonderful group of amazingly talented people.  Music, artsy and Bible Quizzing...to name a few talents.  You can almost reach out and touch the love and happiness you feel as you look through these pics.  The smiles are real because the love is real.  And because the 2 girls are hilarious!  It was definitely my honor to photograph such a beautiful family.

 

 
 

A Toodlehead Christmas

The one.  The only.  Toodlehead!  Spiked hair, Santa hat and slobber galore.  Twas a fun night.

 

Watchya doin', Jude?  "oh nothing, just listening to my Christmas tunes."

 

Sweetness incarnate!

 

Sweet baby girl!  She is so precious...although she did NOT want her picture taken, I was still able to steal a few shots.

 

 

 

West Family

Love photographing this photogenic family!  Here's several of my favorites!

 

Daniel's Senior-itis

Got to tour St. Louis AND take some pictures...win-win situation!

 

There just so happened to be some golfers who were kind enough to let us use their golf cart for a shot.  :)

Superhero Stud Session

'Twas a quiet, peaceful night...thanks to Kimmswick's very own superhero...ASHMAN!  He does his part to make sure the streets of Kimmswick are kept safe and crime free.

 

 

 

The Superhero was awed by the passing train.

So awed in fact that he blew it a kiss

The Superhero morphed into his equally cute alter-ego to finish out the photo session.

We had a fun time roaming the peaceful streets of Kimmswick, lucky for us at just the right moment the train rolled through town and provided a nice distraction.  The little guy did such a good job!

J & J Arnold

Jared & Jessica are about to add to their family.  Can't wait to meet Baby Lyla!  We'll have to go back to the beach once she's here...what a great excuse to take another fun vacation.  :)

 

 

2012 Family Pics

Family pics on vacation are always an interesting time.  Add in some wind, and VERY threatening storm clouds and you've got yourself a downright great time.  Enjoy!

 

Jude the Dude

My little buddy is a month old (plus 2 days and 12 hours).  I wasn't quite prepared for the emotional attachment that began May 24th at 6:19 AM.  But it's been the best month EVER...and I can't imagine loving him more than I do.

His dimples are SO cute! 

we had just stolen his pacifier from his mouth...thus the kissy lips. 

I absolutely LOVE the crying pic...he did NOT want me taking his picture on this particular day.  So we will schedule another day to finish, but in the meantime enjoy this glimpse at the most adorable, precious, handsome, sweetest little man EVER!
