Chase – Baby Session

Have we already told you how much we love little people?

We had the honor of photographing Sarah and Shane’s wedding some years ago, so when the time came to have little Chase over for his baby session we felt like we knew him already!

Take a look at this adorable baby…

Hannah – 1 Year Session

We  absolutely love seeing our little friends grow up and, of course, being able to photograph the steps that take them to become precious people!

We had Hannah in for her first year session and she proved to be a super baby model!

See for yourself her beautiful smile and disposition, as we captured her with our camera while she captured our hearts.

The Perfect Picture Bride – Step by Step Series on Bridal Beauty Preparation. Part 1.

D'ShannonHey there Brides! Looking great on your wedding day is your utmost concern.  So, how do you ensure that your skin is in top condition? You are probably dying to hear about the breakthrough in skincare I’ve been hinting at on Facebook.Well, we will get to that later…  First and more importantly, we will begin with what goes inside.  Start now with a diet rich in leafy greens, beautiful bright fruits and vitamin packed vegetables.  You will be amazed how this makes you look and feel.  One significant item you should add to your diet immediately is OMEGA OIL.  This is an indispensable beauty product you must have in your fridge.  The result? Gorgeous, Radiant, Glowing skin.  I know you are thinking YUCK!  Well, not anymore. You can choose a smooth, sweet flavor to crave.  Think Strawberry Swirl, Lickity Lemon, Chocolatey Raspberry, etc.  My favorite is Barlean’s Total Omega Vegan Swirl in Berry Blend. Find it at local health retailers or at www.barleans.com.

The next topic in my series on Bridal Beauty features a mind-blowing skincare treatment you can begin now for a result that you never dreamed possible!  You will see a difference after just one treatment. You will love the new look!

Stay tuned for more!

Octav and Serena – Engagement Session – St. Louis

Cold, cold, cold…that was the word for the day, but that was not a deterrent when it came to photographing our super trooper couple, Octav and Serena. We absolutely had a blast, their smiles and laugh were super-contagious. And we are all happy for the fact that we will be sharing their Passion for Life in much warmer weather, as their wedding takes place in July!

Thanks for making us forget the low temperatures – congrats to both of you, Octav and Serena!

Mom 2 B – Burns Photography Prenatal Session

There is an aura of beauty and tenderness that uniquely embraces every minute photographing expectant mothers. They seem to exude a special glow as intimacy between baby and mom are captured for the first time photographically.

We had the tremendous pleasure of photographing the Prenatal Session for Felisha and Joel.  Besides the obvious connection between photographer and model that an existing friendship brings to the session, spending time together makes all involved meditate and treasure even with greater appreciation the gift of life… and the fun we share always renews our Passion for Life!

Congratulations to all moms to be!…and best wishes for the little ones to come!
