What a photogenic family!

Who says you have to travel to find the perfect photo location? This family invited us to their home. It certainly makes it easier on the family! It's also easier for the beloved pup to pop in a photo or two. Plan for the right time of year when either Mother Nature or holiday decorations

Energy is always high when there's a toddler at a shoot. All they want to do is explore and run. That's one of the great things about little kids - their curiosity. Fall is the perfect time to do these photos because the little ones love toddling about in the leaves.

Boy, was I tickled to be at this surprise photo shoot! She wanted to surprise her husband of 40+ years by wearing her wedding dress again. I don't know too many people who can still fit in their dresses that many years later. It was an emotional surprise for them both, and we were pleased

One way to enhance your photography skills, as mentioned in an earlier blog, is to look at things a little differently.

Fall is just around the corner! Book your fall session today!

We've said it at least once, and we'll say it again. Fall is the perfect time for family photos. The colors are popping, it's not too hot, it's not getting dark early yet. It's actually a great time to get pictures for Christmas cards. This location in Forest Park had lots of beautiful trees.

This couple didn't let a constant rain dampen their day! While adjustments had to be made, this bride and groom didn't mind the rain. We even wandered around to get photos in the rain. They got married on their own property, and live next to a nature preserve, so there were beautiful locations all a...
