First Trimester...


So, I know I am not the first woman in the world to ever become pregnant but let me tell sometimes it really seems like it! I have the worst motion sickness and I can not ride passenger with anyone! If I do even 4 miles with in minutes of arriving to my destination I am getting sick. I have though gotten quite good at knowing in the morning when I wake up whether it will be a sick day or not! I am pretty excited about that. Today, thank god is not. Yesterday, I was not so lucky. Recently I took a photograph of my little friend and although he is so mad at me because I wouldn't let him climb the stairs, as I thought about it I too wanted to stomp my feet and cry like I had never cried before. I too was mad that I can't eat my favorite foods and don't always know what will make me sick. I also want to insert here that Friday's has the best bathrooms for this kind of problem just incase you were wondering. None the less, I too want someone to pick me up and say "You're fine". Thank God I have my mother for that.

Never thought...











I never thought A) I would be one of those photographers that blogged or that B)I would ever accidently forget to blog about a family! Ms. Jennifer's family and her daughter M and I go way back. I think I have been taking M's pics since she was 3 months old and I get to shoot her 1st birthday! I love those first year, you really get to know the family and the child. Even though M does not and has NEVER thought I was funny. Daddy normally has to get all of her smiles out of her. She does not think that I have anything. I love kids like that. We did a great family session in August at Bee Tree Park, it was an amazing morning. I had also just found out I was pregnant and wanted to share it with someone, Jennifer has been so supportive since! I can't wait to shoot M's 1st birthday!








Side note, lot's is happening for the company. I am going to renting a studio from another photographer a couple days a month, so that as the weather turns ugly we can still do shoots! I also hooked up with the Down Syndrome Association and the Rockwood Early Childhood Parents Association and will be photographing their holiday party! I am also doing a session or two every weekend and I am so excited! However, the way we do business will be changing a little as time goes on, prices will be staying the same but how we order will be different starting October 1st. I can't wait to share with you all the changes!








Okay back to Ms. M she is such a cutie!

Chris and Angela's Wedding







So, I have no idea how I missed updating about Chris and Angela's wedding but apparently I did! It totally went over my radar! They are an amazing couple and I had such a great time photographing their wedding! We went to Tower Grove Park for photographs, which some of you may know that is my favorite spot in the city, beside City Garden which is best for little people and family! It was so fun and so amazing and they had a huge wedding party who just went along with all my crazy ideas.

Sport Photography?

Recently, my husband has decided he is a photographer also. Has this happened to anyone else? They do something the love and it spreads to those around them? I guess its good to keep it all in the family, my brother is a sports photographer and he has taken my husband under his wing. So this week my husband has taken my camera to go to TWO Mehlville soccer games to photograph... tonight apparently is a bigger game with newscast and everything. Don't get me wrong I am so glad he is out of the housing doing something besides his xbox, I just wish he did it with his own camera! But its all good... it's good to share in marriage right? Well I was going to post a picture but he took them all and put them on his computer. I will update tonight with a picture!

Just blogging to blog...


Well, business is absolutely booming... although at this moment I do not have much to show for it! I will soon, give me til the end of October, life will be good! We have had a couple huge opportunities in the last few weeks. We hooked up with the Down Syndrome Association and will be photographing their fashion show in October and also with the Rockwood Early Childhood Center and will be photographing their PTA Christmas Party! I am hoping that this will really be a great break through for the company... we will also hopefully be placing an ad with kidsinstl.com next month as well! We are also doing a portrait and some family canvas painting shoots! I am so excited!


Also our puppy is growing, since this is the age you would normally get the puppy I can't believe how big she is. She is only going to keep growing and we have no idea how big she will actually get. I am posting a pic on here of her, its not been edited but its super cute. She is almost totally potty trained YAY!!! I really didn't think I would ever be able to say that. It's the most exciting thing ever, you never realize how much work a puppy is until you get one. It's not as easy as your parents made it out to be.

Cloey is 6 months...


I can't believe it my god daughter is 6 months old already... I feel like I have barely had a chance to see her and yet I see her all the time. She is already getting to that point where she wants to be put down to explore versus you holding her. I hate that stage. I want her to always be my little snuggle buggle. I am only putting up the collage I created for her because well it displays all her cutest faces. Last month for her 5 month I didn't put up anything because she was not smiley at all, teeth maybe. None the less this month makes up for it!
