Meg + Rusty – Married!

Meg and Rusty were married Sunday on the dock at the riverfront, with a reception following on the Becky Thatcher Riverboat.  They get the award for the best first dance this year – they danced to “Beyond the Sea” by Bobby Darin and had a great routine (there was even a lift.)  They proved to be great dancers the rest of the night as well, as did most of their guests.  I’ve never taken so many dancing photos at a wedding before!  You can view their SLIDESHOW HERE to see more photos.  Think the classical cover of Journey is an odd slideshow song selection?  Well, they used it in their processional, and the original song made a big hit at the reception, so I thought it was perfect for them.  I hope they enjoy their honeymoon in Mexico – congrats guys!

Upcoming Boudoir Session

It’s boudoir time again!  I’m now scheduling appointments for the upcoming all-day boudoir session.  It will be held on Sunday, November 9th.  The session will include:

*Professionally styled hair and makeup

*Use of a downtown loft space

*1-hour long portrait session, with no limit to the number of photos

*A DVD of all the high resolution images to use as you like

Contact me if you would like more details or want to set your appointment time.  It should be fun!

Hannah’s Senior Photos

I know when I was a senior in high school I took some hard classes, but every time I chat with a senior and hear their schedule I am amazed.  Hannah was no exception – she’s taking classes like AP Calculus and AP History and AP Biology and probably 5 more AP classes I can’t even remember.  Good for her!  In addition to being smart, she’s also really sweet, which made it fun to take her photos today in Tower Grove Park.  I think she said she has a test tomorrow, so I hope she’s studying right now – good luck Hannah!

Tricia + Jon – Married!

Tricia and Jon were married at her parent’s farm this Saturday in Cuba, Missouri.  During his toast, Tricia’s dad joked that when she suggested the farm as their wedding location he thought to himself “Great, everyone will bring a covered dish and we’ll have a party.”  Needless to say, it was not that kind of wedding :)  Their farm was actually a wonderful location, with a deck perfectly designed for a wedding ceremony and a giant barn that housed the reception.  Combined with the perfect weather we had Saturday, it made for a wonderful wedding.  Thanks to Tracey Haynes for doing some second shooting for me – my regular second shooter Christine was enjoying the wedding as a guest this time.

Taylor

Like most babies, Taylor had her own agenda today – and it didn’t include having her portrait taken.  She just didn’t seem up for it today.  So I put away my things and chatted with her mom for a while, giving her time to chill out just enough to take a few snapshots before she began fussing again.  I’ll probably end up photographing this little one again (preferably after a night in which she’s had a little more sleep!) but these few are still cute enough to share!
