Great! You’ve found your perfect, dream photographer! You’ve contacted them, they’re available! All your must-haves seems to be coming together. They send you over a menu of options to choose from. Then suddenly, you’re stuck. How many hours will I need? Do I need two photographers (more on that here)? Should I get the album […]

The way I got to be a part of Sydnee+Kieran’s day was less than conventional. Sydnee’s blessed with the most amazing family (as is Kieran) and her godmother contacted me about photographing the nuptials in November as her gift to the wonderful couple. Luckily for me, Sydnee and Kieran loved my work so they said, […]

So I feel like my couples either have SUPER long engagements, or SUPER short engagements. No in between. LOL! (I’m almost 30, I use LOL still, ok?)My sweet Kellie and John dated for six years and were engaged for about two of them. They were in engaged so long that I saw them at other […]

Baby announcements are probably my favorite thing to photograph. The excitement is palpable, tiny baby shoes abound and as of late, my couples have gotten VERY creative with how they want to share their amazing news with the world!Per usual, there’s never a dull moment in the Thomas household and it’s ALWAYS a good time!I […]

In late 2018, a hopeless romantic sent me a message about a proposal he was planning….in 2019. Talk about a tough secret to keep! Jared meticulously planned, every detail accounted for. Of course, like a gentleman, Jared asked Alena’s dad for his blessing, Alena’s father was so excited that he gave Jared Alena’s late mother’s […]

In college I got the pleasure of meeting this awesome chick. Sam and I have a lot in common personality wise (and we’re both over-the-top obsessed with our Yorkies! lol) so we hit it off in class right away. She has an infectious laugh and gravitational pull that makes you just want to chat for […]

In September I got to photograph two amazing members of the blue family on their wonderful property! It was so cool to just have free roam of entire space, acres and acres of wooded and boho field goodness. Borderline dream location! I can’t stress it enough, take photos somewhere that mean something to you both! […]

I absolutely LOVE when couples bring their fur babes to sessions (if you couldn’t tell!)! I also love when my couples bring props or items that mean something to them which makes our time together all the more meaningful.I’ve had the pleasure of knowing sweet Maggie for years and was SO excited when she not […]

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Allison for over twenty years. We play soccer together in elementary school and have touched based here and there over the years. Once we moved back to the St. Louis area, I was pregnant with our daughter and she was about to be married to the love of her […]

Every once in a while, I gain a friend from a bride; especially when said bride books you almost two years in advance, which means you have PLENTY of time to talk! Sweet Michelle and Jacob have been planning since mid-2018, which also means that we were able to get two mini engagement sessions in […]
