Tina and Evan are another one of my fantabulous couples for next year. If Tina looks familar it’s probably because you saw her in Shelley and Brent’s post…Tina is Shelley’s sister and I am so excited they chose me to photograph their big day too!












I met Nikki when she was in a wedding I did about 2 years ago. She is seriously one of the most beautiful people I have ever shot…just so naturally pretty. An interesting fact about these two is that they have been together since they were 14…HOLY COW…not too many people can say that. We did the eshoot at McKendree college in the town they both grew up in. They are getting married this December in the college chapel and I am super excited to shoot their wedding. Nikki and Dustin will be my last wedding for 2008!












Alright, I have a lot of catching up to do…
First I just want to say that I am so excited about all my weddings I have next year. I have some of the greatest couples booked for next year…Here’s a few
first here’s Allison and Shane. Allison was another “mystery” bride because her mom booked me over the phone. Needless to say it’s always a nice surprise to meet up for the engagement shoot…especially when they are as cute and fun as these two.








Couple #2 is Brittany and Brad. Brittany is the only person on earth right now that I know is as stressed as I am. She’s in law school and things are pretty tough right now…but we had a fun shoot so it was nice that she got to get a way from it all for a little fun on a gorgeous afternoon. We went to Laumeier sculpture park. It was my first time ever shooting there. They have some pretty cool stuff there, but at times I felt like a tourist taking their pics around the sculptures…ha ha








Couple #3 is Christy and Tom. We met up at Tower Grove for the eshoot. It’s so pretty there right now. They did a lot of work there over the summer.









I have engagements shoots out the wazoo this month. Everyone wants those pretty fall colors…now if only we had a ton of those colors that would be great! ha ha I can’t complain though because the weather has been so gorgeous.
Here’s couple #1…Cindy and Ryan. These two are so stinkin’ cute together and it doesn’t hurt that they are both so smokin hot. I am very excited to be doing their wedding next year. By the way this is Cindy Rushing…Ya know THE cindy who works with April at Pananche. If you need your makeup done on your wedding day…Cindy is your girl!









Couple #2 is Melissa and Justin. We did pics at a park where Justin proposed. In fact we even kicked someone off the chair so we could do pics in the exact same spot.












Aimee was one of what I like to call, “mystery brides” for 2009. She booked without a consult so it was a nice surprise to see how cute she and Carl were together. I am very excited to be doing their wedding next year! Here are a few I really liked from the shoot. PS…I am officially caught up now on all my posts and weddings…YAY
Initially Carl said he wasn’t crazy about getting his picture taken, but look at how freaking cute and happy these two are! I love that the expression here isn’t “forced”












Man you can tell wedding season is in full effect because I am super behind in my posts. Here’s a few favs from some shoots over the last couple weeks

first, Nicole is the sister of a bride who was married last year. SHe needed some headshots for a new radio show she is trying to land called “Grey in the Middle”. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Nicole. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met! We had a lot of fun on this shoot and I had a lot of favs but in the interest of time, I’ll just post 3


Next, Here are a couple of Jen Hanneken’s cute little kiddos

and last but not least is Emily and Dan. Emily was my very first bride to book in 2009. She booked back in like late 2007 or something crazy like that. Good thing she did though because I have had like 16 people ask about her date! Here’s a few favorites ( I had a lot)










Jaime and Gib had a BEAUTIFUL evening for an engagment shoot last Wednesday. I wish the weather could be just like that all year long. Here are a few favs from the shoot!





I met Katie a few years ago when she started teaching at my school. I am super excited to be teaching third grade with her next year. Just about a month ago Gwen finally popped the question and their wedding is already in November of this year!!! Wow she’s got some planning to do…ha ha. We went over to Bee Tree the other night for her engagement pics. I love that that park is only like 5 mintues from my house. It’s so pretty. Here are a few of my favs





I am on my way to get Lasik! YAY…but I wanted to post a few images. I have been so busy lately with shoots. Here are a few and I apolgize if they are out of order. I need to leave in three minutes!
Jill and Lance…fabulous evening, fabulous couple! I am excited about their wedding. They are actually really good friends of Jim and Nicole whose wedding I shot on April 26th. In fact that’s where I met them.

some bpics…I have had about 8 bpic shoots in the last two weeks. Here are some that I had permissionto post. I have been trying to get a little more “artsy” and have been doing a little experimenting.
