baby Aden
I feel so so special to be invited back into my clients lives to document the arrival of their little ones. I photographed Aimee and Loreto’s wedding last year in St. Louis and I was so excited when they announced they were expecting their first baby. Today I got to meet little Aden. He’s just such a perfect little boy. 
Aimee and Loreto, thank you so much for the honor of photographing Aden. I hope you treasure these images forever.
What a beautiful baby! You are an amazing photographer!!!

Lawson
It was so special to get to meet Lawson yesterday! He is by far the most easy-going baby I’ve ever photographed. I’m sure it helps that both his parents as just as laid-back. I remember raving about Krista being such a great bride – never worrying if her dress was getting dirty, sitting down on the dirtiest spots and just going with the flow, all in the name of pictures. And Kelby may not be the biggest fan of having his pictures taken, but he’s always game too – no matter what. And Lawson seems to take after them. He let us take him from room to room, change outfits, lay him on top of a box and never complained. Yes, I’m pretty in love with him.
Krista and Kelby, thank you for welcoming me into your home once again, and for allowing me to document Lawson’s cuteness!
I’m pretty sure this is a smile:
Kelby’s one request:
You may remember this chair from their maternity session 
Thanks, guys and I will see you in 6 months! Can’t wait!
These are ADORABLE Cristi!! Fantastic job! Love the second one with the little smile! So cute!

Krista and Kelby + Baby
Posted in portraits
If you’ve been following my blog for a little while, you probably recognize Krista and Kelby. It’s funny how I never met them until their engagement session, since Krista booked me as their wedding photographer over the phone, but I feel like I’ve known them forever.
I met them at their house today and it was so fun to see my photos all over their walls. Besides, Krista has super great taste and an awesome eye for decorating. Just wait until I go back for newborn photos and you get to see the baby’s room. So perfect!
For now, you can enjoy their cuteness:
Krista, you are beautiful and pregnancy looks really good on you 
I’m super excited that I get to go back for Lawson’s newborn, 6 months and 1 year old pictures. I feel like the first year of your first child is probably one of the most remarkable years of a couple’s life and how fun to be able to document it all and display it in an album to look back on and share with your family, friends and your children as they grow.
Thank you so much Cristi for all that you do for us!! You are a true blessing:) I love the photos!!!!

This is a beautiful momma-to-be and I love the natural setting that you have her in. The bow on her dress is cool too!

Cristi, Thanks for the great pictures and thanks for the opportunity that is to come over the following months. They are a pretty special couple! They are loved!

I love that you did the maternity photos outside instead of studio. Gorgeous as always!

Kristin & Brian *married*
Posted in portraits
Last Tuesday, Kristin’s mom called me and asked if I could photograph her daughter’s wedding that following Saturday. I had been saving that day as my day off since it was my birthday weekend, but I just couldn’t say no to her. And I am so glad I didn’t. Kristin and Brian had a beautiful wedding in her mom’s backyard and there was no shortage of love, joy and happy tears.
Kristin’s engagement ring is so unique:
They had a little help cutting the cake from their guests of honor. Their adorable twin nieces:
Cheers to the happy couple and many more beautiful days together.
lovely…the light is amazing!
