I am so lucky to call Sarah and Adam friends. Getting to hang with them and their little boy Jack is always fun and when it came time to take photos, it was just that. I got to catch up with them while Jack ran free. And I mean ran…the. whole. time. He was busy exploring and even practiced his prank skills by ringing a doorbell and running away (wonder who he gets it from?) 😀
What can I say, I love what I do. I love that I have gotten to make new friends and spend time with old friends. This post is no exception. Nicole and I have strong roots going all the way back to elementary school; my memories are full of many girl scout trips, sleep overs, and Nicole’s super cool grandma from France 🙂 High school came and we went our separate ways. But that Sunday morning we were together again, I felt like the years hadn’t made any difference. We caught up, shared laughs, and I got to meet the man that makes her smile, Chris. They have the sweetest “how they met” story. Really, like from a movie. They were both attending a wedding reception, Chris asked Nicole for a dance and they ended up talking and enjoying the rest of the night together. Now, here they are, a few months before their own wedding. I am soo happy and honored to have documented their love. Nicole and Chris, thank you so much for the wonderful morning, happy wedding day in October ***
Man ohh man am I excited to share these with you! This dynamic group of 6 made for some of my favorite family photos ever. These are also really cool and special because I have known Gretchen for a long time, and now I get to see her as a wonderful mother to Grace and Mason.
Sweet Grace
And Mr. GQ himself, Mason
Her boyfriend Mark and his 2 handsome boys, Markie and Mitch, also joined for photos. I absolutely love this brother duo!
When I spotted this little field of yellow flowers, I just knew great things were in store…favorites!
I can never pass up a weeping willow by a grey blue pond…
This group was so great because when it started drizzling on us they didn’t complain a bit, instead, they decided that getting ice cream was an alright alternative 🙂 I also think Mitch was the best ice cream cone eater I’ve seen … lol
And one last stop, after ice cream…
Thank you so much Gretchen and Mark for a fun afternoon! Until next time ***
After rescheduling numerous times throughout the week -long monsoon we seemed to have, we met up in this patch of beauty at the local park. With perfect light streaming down, Stephanie resembled an angel.
And just in case you were wondering, another little boy will be joining the family in July 🙂
Because I can’t get enough of how pretty Stephanie is…
Clayton and Stephanie, thank you so much for being patient with our crazy Missouri weather. Best wishes for a safe delivery in July, I can’t wait to meet him! ***
Seeing the one you will marry for the first time on your wedding day….. Lisa and Steve show how beautiful a “first look” is….
*** More to come on my facebook page. Many thanks to Sara of SJMacky Photography for letting me hang out and second shoot Lisa and Steve’s special day.
