St. Louis Family Photography: Olga & Mike

I do so enjoy photographing families. Especially families as cute as this one.

We met on a lazy Sunday afternoon just an hour or so before sunset (that's one of my favorite times of the day to shoot because of the quality of the light) and captured these moments.

This one is my favorite. I love how the light shines through their hair and getting that delicious sunflare is an added bonus.


Young Mr. Alexander loves to be swung. I love the pure joy of the infectious laughter that ensues after one of these moments. It's priceless.





"Oh NOOOOOO, those parents of mine are smooching back there. What's a boy to do?!"

I love this picture above.


































Thank you, Olga & Mike, for letting me capture moments with your family. _

Sneak Peak: Jessica & Chris

These few images jumped out at me while I downloaded the wedding from this past weekend and I just had to share them. This first one was during her getting ready part of the day.Classic!!!! LOVE everything about this image.


I'm a shoe aficionado (in case you didn't know that about me) and I just LOVE that the groom made some fun shoe choices. No standard ole dress shoes for him...oh, no. Check out the kicks! LOVE IT!!!!!!


Aren't they just A D O R A B L E ?!?!?! Handsome AND beautiful.

The girls got all pretty at the salon.

Sexy shoes!!!

Every girl NEEDS sexy shoes!


Nikki & Adams adorable twin boys....Landon & Logan.


It takes a whole team to get the bride into her dress.





Even Landon & Logan had tuxes! How adorable.



* * * Nikki & Adam chose to do a First Look.Gives them a private moment to take a deep breath, settle down from the rush of getting ready, and savor this private moment to really just enjoy the wonder and happiness this day will be bringing them.





This is also the perfect time to give their wedding gifts to each other.
