Welcome to my blog! I am a photographer from the St. Louis area. I take pictures of all kinds of things, but I specialize in weddings, portraits & kids.
Its been one of those weeks around here! It looks like I might have made a connection in Chicago. I am dying to shoot a wedding in Chicago. I should be shooting some engagement photographs there hopefully soon.
Ok, most of this week has been spent learning how to design a wedding album. Tons of reading and research. I have learned that like everything else in photography, it takes time to learn.
I am loving this new blog. It has a control panel that allows me to update anything instantly. That is a huge plus because time is important and that makes it worth the price I paid for it. I spent 6 months looking at blog design before I came across Prophoto and I can not be happier with it!
I can see myself either moving to Chicago or at least splitting my time between there and St. Louis in the next couple of years once I quit teaching. One of those reasons has everything to do with Michigan Avenue. This is my favorite street on the planet. The art I can create there is boundless.
February 5, 2010 - 4:21 pm - Ahh I love this! Thanks so much we had fun today!
February 7, 2010 - 5:09 pm - Awesome photos! I love the last one. I saw them on MM and had to come check out some more of your shoots :)
I had the chance to shoot Joury & Tess today in my favorite place in the world: Michigan Ave in Chicago. Despite it being February the weather was great. We used some cool ballons and cookies as fancy props and had a great time shooting the two sisters.
It’s amazing the happiness a single ballon can bring!
Cookies have been, are, and will always be super cool kid food!

Okay, so if you walk into my house and into my computer room, you might pause to take a look at my dresses. I have several on the door and a whole closet full of more. No I do not wear them, they are for my models! The one I am most proud of is the white dress in this photograph. I believe its circa 1950s, maybe 60s. I got it at my favorite vintage store over on Cherokee Street in St. Louis: Cherry Bomb. I have had several models tell me they want to be shot in it. One thing I am yet to do is shoot a model in a vintage dress with a vintage car. That will be my next project! By the way, the model in this shot is Sarah. She did an awesome job!
I am so excited, I am working on my first album. I am doing everything myself with no templates. Doing it like that makes me feel better about the project. Here are a couple of screen shots of the ablum. I am working on an 11×14 because I love the landscape size, it really fits my style and allows me to do more with the design.
Liam is only 1 month old and the very first baby I have photogaphed! I arrived just as he had finished eating. He is so cute and so new. Here is a preview.
