Another Tot Trends Weekly cover

I do these covers from time to time for Tot Trends Weekly, an internet parent's magazine. But this time is exciting since its my little girl on there :) They did request a number of shots from past clients' sessions for future issues...so keep your eyes open! If your child ends up on a cover I'll have it printed for you :)

Little Sweetheart

Meet little Anthony, a precious little boy that I had the pleasure to photograph. I met his family at a charity session in St. Louis and just fell in love with him & his family. They've been through a lot and their strength and support of each other is inspirational. Here's a quick sneak peek... M family, your gallery will be uploaded in the next day...keep an eye on your email ;)

St. Louis Take 3!

This was a fun session...mom & dad just let me go off and play with these little beauties. The little one was hard to crack...but I got her a few times :) The older girl was just so sweet and nurturing to her little sister. Here are some favorites:

Another St. Louis session

Being that this was my first time in St. Louis and not knowing the area I had no idea that the awesome little town we picked for the session was going to be so busy! There were people everywhere...including other photographers shooting their own sessions. So, to say the least it was a little hectic, but it didn't matter, because we still got great shots! And what a beautiful family! So, despite the busyness this was still a fabulous location and I wish we had a place like this locally!

1st Sneak Peek of the St. Louis sessions...

My St. Louis journey was quite busy...4 sessions in one day! The later sessions ended up being fairly quick ones but it didn't matter with this family...what sweet kids...did everything they were supposed to and cooperated so nicely. And what a perfect location! So, no wonder it went so fast! :)

Not to mention what a good looking bunch of kids! They could all be models!
