Evan & Erica

So I'm a little behind on the blog front. I know I know! Lay off me, I'm busy! Just kidding. I'm excited to finally get some of these on the blog. Evan and Erica were referred to me by some mutual friends and, I must say, I could not be more thrilled. These two are some of the kindest and laid back people I've met.

If you're not familiar, The Lesters is a music group that is made up of members of Evan's family. In fact, Evan still plays drums for them. This sign that used to reside in front of their old music store has been there so long that it has become a permanant fixation on this wall. So naturally we needed to capture a few shots underneath the sign.

Just down the street was this amazing church. As some of you may know, I'm kind of a fan of big cool doors such as this one. I couldn't resist!

Erica kept asking me when they would get to kiss! True sign of a love bird. ;)

So I can't remember the whole story, but if I remember correctly, Evan always comes equipt with a toothpick. I love people who want their photos to be personal to their unique quirks.

One last moment stolen amognst the trees......

....a quick outfit change and then off too.....

On the way there we saw these awesome little carts lined up on the side of the rode. I love them! Not gonna lie.....I kind of want one.

This just makes me smile every time I see it. :)

So I asked the two of them if they would be willing to climb to the top of these stairs and they were more than willing. They were so excited when they got to the top. This makes me laugh.

The crazy artist coming out in me. Wasn't sure what I was going to end up with, but I kind of love it. It makes me feel like I stole a shared moment of a couple passing by me.

Congratulations to the two of you! Can't wait for the big day!!!

Chris&Angie

So on one of the most hot and humid days I ventured downtown. After chatting with Angie for a few minutes I came to find out that their engagement session shared the night of three other events that night. A concert, a football game, and a baseball game. Needless to say we had a few challenges, but we worked it out. Between the blue skies and the sunset we had some pretty great photo opportunities ahead of us.

Since Angie and Chris are originally from out of town, but have spent several years of their life, while in school, living in St. Louis they wanted to make sure they got a good local landmark as a backdrop. I think we succeeded! ;)

Angie has been studying law while attending school at SLU so she brought a little something that represents her view over the past couple years.

A girl has to have a little break from her studies, right?

I seriously may get used to shooting downtown more. I kind of fell in love with shooting down there this time. This was the first session I have shot in that area. Not really sure why?

I will leave you with one of my favorite portrait session photos yet. I. LOVE. THIS. PERIOD. The daunting heat and humidity was completely worth capturing this moment!

I wish you two the best in your last year before marriage. Good Luck!

Marshall/Hornberger Family

So it's been a while since I've blogged. I have a lot of sessions to come, but for now I will share with you a very wonderful and entertaining family. I had such a fun night and as always what started as a photo session ended in a time of hanging out with friends. This is why I love what I do. Not just photographing people, but being a part of their lives as well. Enjoy!
