St. Louis Mini Photo Shoot Day : Lafayette Square

May 20, 2013

I am SO excited to announce that my FIRST St. Louis mini photo shoot day will be held on June 1st at Lafayette square! Well…it was SUPPOSED to be in May, then May again, but rain came and stayed! So we are on our THIRD try here. Crossing my fingers this is the day! I have a few spots still open as a few clients turned their spots into full shoots. This will be the only mini session that will EVER be discounted in excitement of my families move from Chicago to St. Louis! We are loving living out in Chesterfield trying to decide where we will plant for good. I look forward to meeting lots of you hopefully soon! Please contact me at the contact me tab up above for info on my last 3 spots.

Yay for mini session day!!!

Y98 St. Louis Cutest Baby Winner, 2013: Kale

May 17, 2013

Y98 St. Louis Cutest Baby Contest Winner!

Baby Y98!

WOW! What and EXCITING few months! With over 10,000 entries and 150,000 votes, Mr. Kale came out on top! Not only is 17month old Kale stinking ADORABLE, he’s hilarious to boot! We had SUCH a fun time with him during our shoot. He was such a trooper. The idea of getting a 17m old to sit long enough on a piece of paper looking at the camera is NOT an easy task. We had everyone in there helping Kale to laugh, make funny faces, and just have fun. Jen and Kevin from the morning show surpassed all of us on our tricks. Acting like monkeys, throwing balls on my head to get him to laugh, pulling out games on the iphone to keep him sitting (at least for a brief second) and bribing him with food. I think we all were ready for a nap after almost 2 hours of full blown Zumba! As was Kale But, it was so beautiful out we decided to venture outside and take a few shots as well. Kale was SO tired but SO amazing. He lasted a few minutes more so we could have a bit of variety in our shots. Then the shoot ended with the most BEAUTIFUL great dane! Gosh he was beautiful. Kale decided he needed to share his snacks and I am so glad he did. Cutest shot EVER! Love. Ok enough blabbing….

Meet our Y98 St. Louis 2013 Cutest Baby!

Here is how our day went. Not only is Kale cute but man he has a personality!

For real we were playing baseball and “bonk”! Kept him sitting! Excited I grabbed that shot with the ball when it his his head!

Dream and Enchantment Photoshop Actions, Photoshop Elements Actions

April 30, 2013

Hooray! The time has come. My Dream and Enchantment Photoshop Actions, Photoshop Elements Actions are now all open for sale! I have had such an amazing response by everyone for my Dream in Color and Dream in Black and White sets, that I decided to go ahead and make a more dramatic set, Enchantment. Dream in Color was created for the photographer looking to edit beautiful ethereal images indoors. They are a fabulous indoor Photoshop action set. They can also be used outdoors as well. Many people love them on boudoir images. My Dream in Black and White set has a little bit of everything from clean and crisp, to deep and dramatic. Enchantment has magic actions, hazy actions, dreamy actions and all of the above in one giant set. You can do everything from edit skin, to gently enhance to dramatically decorate. To see more details about all of these action sets, click on the photo below! You won’t be disappointed. If you are not already, make sure to follow me on Facebook! You just never know when I may have a sale, tutorial, or more Photoshop Actions sets released!

From Belly to Baby – Chesterfield newborn photographer

April 20, 2013

From Belly to Baby – Chesterfield newborn photographer.

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful mama and her new beautiful baby not too long ago. Her maternity session has been featured all over the place, and after seeing her, you should not be surprised why! I am so lucky to call this a job. I get to hang out with awesome families, hold, snuggle and take pictures of itty bitty babies. When I am asked to photograph from belly to baby, I am just totally thrilled. It’s so special to develop the relationships I am blessed to be able to do. I am Chesterfield newborn photographer. I also photograph young babies, children, seniors and families! Our family recently relocated here from Chicago and we are totally loving it! I will of course miss all my clients in Chicago, as most of them I photographed on from birth. However, everyone is SO super nice here in St. Louis and the weather is MUCH betterAlso, I am back home to my Cardinals roots!!!

Lots of people ask me when is the best time to schedule your maternity session. I like to photograph moms around the start of the 8th month of pregnancy, unless she is having twins, in which case I say 7! Newborns are photographed on day 5-10 after birth! It’s when they are all squishy and bendy and OH SO TINY!

Now beware…most of my moms don’t look like this right after birthI told her we can be just PRETEND friends haha

Love her. Love her tiny baby. Love.

For photographers: This shoot was edited entirely with my Dream in Color and Dream in Black and White photoshop action sets.
