I was so excited when Tiffany asked me if I would be able to do her maternity pictures! Tiffany is such a sweetie and she snagged herself a pretty sweet guy when she found Everett. These two are such a cute couple that I just couldn’t keep from grinning while taking pictures of the two …

Union Station Hotel | St. Louis, MO
So I mentioned our weekend away yesterday. We stayed at the hotel that’s attached to Union Station. It’s such a gorgeous place full of awesome photo opportunities!

A Weekend in St. Louis and our Proposal Story
It had been so long since Ryan and I had gone anywhere just the two of us, and we agreed that we probably needed to have some time away from it all…a romantic weekend if you will. So we packed our bag and got the dog’s things together and headed out. After we dropped Kit …

Showin’ Some Love #9

Sunday this past weekend, Ryan and I were supposed to go to Ryan’s cousin, Hector’s graduation party in Argenta. Unfortunately, as all of you living in Central IL know, we got hit with a pretty bad snow storm. It wasn’t so much that the snow was deep that kept us stuck at home, but instead …

However in the digital age we currently live in, you can find a photographer on practically every street corner. But not all these photographers have their own studio. Some people question …
About Me
A couple weeks ago, one of my favorite blogs, Leah’s Go{4}Pro, posted a challenge to photographers everywhere to put themselves in front of their camera and share a little of themselves with their clients.
