Craft Family

Last fall I had the wonderful opportunity to take some photos of the Craft family. Their beautiful girl Evie was a true gem and you could tell she loved hanging out with mom and dad. Enjoy some of their shots from the day...

Libby and Elliott - Engaged

My friend Libby gave me the wonderful opportunity of shooting my first engagement session.  She and her fiancĂ©e are both amazing people.  We had so much fun on this day of shooting.  The wind was whipping around a bit, making it a bit chilly by the end -- but the laughter and smiles never ceased.  

We started the day shooting at Libby's cute South City house and then moved to Forest Park.  How can you go wrong in Forest Park?  


Isn't this tall grass amazing?


Since the fountain below the World's Fair Pavilion was turned off for the season, we made good use of the stone.  It made a striking background.


Love, Love, LOVE these next two.


An amazing day finished up with lunch at the Boat House.


Congratulations guys!  I can't wait to celebrate with you in June!

Teamwork

My husband and I both have a passion for photography.  His eye for framing is amazing, as can be seen by this photo below.  However, framing does you little good when the camera settings are way off.  This picture was a mess of overexposure and white balance and it took a good 20 minutes in Lightroom to make it presentable.

Look what happens when you work as a team!

Scott and Eily's Wedding - Mayan Riviera

What better way to celebrate a friend's wedding than to pack up and head to the Mayan Riviera? A long standing dream of mine finally realized as Steve and I joined our friends Scott and Eily on the beach for a week of sun, sand, SCUBA...and a gorgeous wedding! I tagged along as unofficial photographer and had so much fun taking pictures of the happy couple. I've posted just a few here...but let me say, it was incredibly hard to choose just these for the blog. You might just see more from this album pop up now and then.








My friend Eily made the most beautiful bride!

Congratulations to you both!

Work in Progress

I'm working on making this a permanent photography blog - please be patient as I work on establishing my site!
