The S Family - Winter Wonderland

I was scheduled to take this beautiful family's photos on Saturday. Due to some factors, they pushed it off to Sunday morning. I am SO glad they did! They wanted Christmas card photos - well, we had the weather for it!

 

Before we left their house:

 

 A little break to play in the snow

 

 I had thought about cropping big sister out but decided I liked her in the background

 

Daughter #1 is the caring big sister - I have never had a problem shooting her 

 

 

Little girl sweetness

 

I love their coats and hats!

 

Daughter #3 trying to figure out the white stuff falling from the sky, I believe her to be the inquisitive one

 

Mom and Dad

 

Can you tell this was toward the end of the shoot? Patience was running thin for some...

Isn't she sweet? Daughter #2 is the strong willed one but she did FANTASTIC yesterday!

 

Oh those three sets of eyes - so sweet!

 

One more of Daughter #2

 

 And Daughter #1

 

 

I am pretty happy with these (and many more from yesterday) - I hope they will be too!

 

Thank you S family for a fun, easy wintery shoot. I had a great time, as usual with you all.

 

2015

The new year is right around the corner! I am taking bookings for 2015.

 

Contact me to book your family/children's/high school senior session.

 

I look forward to taking your photos!

Autumn beauty!

Princess Portraits

This past weekend, I was lucky enough to be asked to shoot a local event.

Princess Lessons by A Royal Remembrance.

 

Saturtday, Snow White shared her knowledge of inner and outer beauty with several younger princesses.

 

Sunday, Belle taught manners and table etiquette at a wonderful party she held for even more local princesses.

 

Thank you Snow White and Belle for including me in your events!

 

Miss S

I love this precious face!!!!

 

St. Louis, 2008

Hello, St. Louis!

 

Inside the City Museum:

(if you like to climb and play - this is a GREAT place to visit while in St. Louis!)

Have you been to St. Louis?

What are your favorite things to see and do in that area?

Autumn splendor

Here are a few shots (of the 100s I've taken) over the past couple of weeks.

Northern Illinois is gorgeous right now!

 

 

Last week, my daughter looked out the kitchen window one morning and said,

"Ah mom, you might want to get your camera and go outside."

So I did, without looking out the window. I went out on the porch and this took my breath away!

 

 

I hope your fall is beautiful!
