Angela + Tyler Engagements

I think Angela stalked the weather report for about a week to figure out if it would rain for their portrait session on Friday.  We decided day-of that despite the cloudiness, it would be a good day to shoot in Faust Park and headed off.  Unfortunately, we only had about 15 minutes of patchy sunshine until it started raining on us.  We were trapped on the front porch of one of the old houses for a bit until we decided to head back out to shoot quickly before it started raining harder.  It’s a good thing cloudy days make for the best lighting!  Thanks for tolerating a little rain, guys!

[...] time I shot there was for Angela and Tyler’s wedding last May. Back then they had a number of engagement photos hanging on the walls – this time they had added loads of their wedding images.  It’s [...]

Laura + Bryan Engagements

It’s definitely fall around here.  Poor Laura had a dress on at first, and with that wicked wind that was blowing through Forest Park, I think she was completely freezing.  Thankfully they had a second outfit with sweaters and jeans so we could keep going.  All of you who still have portrait sessions to come this fall, keep that in mind!  We found a few more trees with color than there were last week, so you can actually tell it is October in their photos.  Laura and Bryan are both really nice, and so easy to work with.  I’m sure their wedding next year will be just as great!

Ashley + Adam – Married!

When I arrived at Windows On Washington for Adam and Ashley’s wedding this weekend I almost didn’t recognize them – they’ve both had some serious haircuts!  They looked fantastic, and very ’20s.  We had planned to go outside for some photos near the City Museum, but it started raining at just the wrong time.  Instead, we took their portraits inside, and I think they turned out fantastic.  I knew from their engagement session that these guys were easy to work with, but I forgot just how fun they were to shoot.  Ashley has some serious model-like qualities in how she moves and changes her expression for each shot.  It didn’t take much to get some great shots!  These guys live in New York, so I don’t think I’ll get to see them again soon.  I wish them all the best!

Tracy + Jason Engagements

Like most people this time of year, Tracy and Jason were desperate to get some fall color in their portraits.  Unfortunately, we only found two trees turning color in the area of Forest Park where we went today.  We made the most of those two trees, though!  At least we had sunshine and warm weather – that fall chill is coming quickly!

Stacy + Tim Maternity

Stacy teaches yoga at a studio I teach at, and she Tim are having a baby girl in December.  I’ve been hoping they would do maternity photos since I found out she was pregnant!  Since it ended up being a beautiful day, we decided to take the maternity shoot outdoors into Tower Grove Park.  Stacy had just gotten this fantastic henna tattoo on her belly, which looks amazing up close and looks very Earth Mama in her bare belly photos.  The baby Vans are so cute, too – I love baby shoes!  It’s hard to see on the blog, but in the ipod photo the song playing is “Could You Be Loved” by Bob Marley, which apparently is already one of the baby’s favorites. Seems like I have a lot of friends and clients getting pregnant lately … I hope more of you call me for some maternity stuff :)
