Grace & Justin Sneak Peek! • Edwardsville • St Louis • Wedding Photographer
It was my intention to keep these under wraps until they were finished, but I really can't resist. These two have been super patient while I work on their wedding, so they deserve it! I had an absolute blast at their wedding and I can't wait to share the rest of the photos. Enjoy your sneak peek guys,...stay tuned everyone!

Amy & Ryan • Edwardsville Wedding Photographer • Engagement!
Although it was pretty hot, it turned out to be relly nice weather for Amy & Ryan's Engagement session. They are both born and raised in the Edwardsville area, so what better place to start than at the courthouse?
Ryan can really make Amy laugh...which helped a lot to get things going!
Amy's ring, by the way, almost BLINDED me when I first saw it. It's gorgeous, period. Way to go, Ryan!
The "chance meeting" shot:
But, it's a close second to this one.....

Ryan tells some GREAT stories, Amy tells me...
This one below, in front of the "old" St John's UMC (our church) is one of my favorites...
But, it's a close second to this one.....
After the wedding, no single-family cookie-cutter house for these guys. They're gonna live in the wide open spaces of the great Midwest. So, I thought this was an appropriate setting:
Awesome light!! This is my favorite time of day to shoot. Looking good, guys!
Of course..we had to go to my favorite barn...
I'm really looking forward to working with these two....both sides of the family are really fun and great, as well. Thanks guys!!

CHILDREN AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY • EDWARDSVILLE • ST LOUIS, MO
Kids Of All Ages
Thank you for taking a moment to view my work. I think you will see that I strive to create genuine, natural memories of the children. I always look for the joy that I see in my own kids.
Every one of these kids has been fun to work with! During my sessions, being able to run around and play outside certainly helps.

NEWBORN BABY PHOTOS • EDWARDSVILLE • ST LOUIS PHOTOGRAPHER
Beautiful Babies...
Having three of my own, I'm just naturally drawn to the precious newborn baby. It is a wonderful privilege to freeze this moment in time for the happy parents.
There have been a few parents in the area who have trusted me with capturing this special time in their liVes. To them, I am thankful...

FAMILY PICTURES • EDWARDSVILLE • ST LOUIS FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Everybody Outside
For as long as I can remember, traditional portrait studios were no fun. The sitting, the waiting, the lights, the uncomfortable poses....the list goes on. I always felt that people would be much happier in photos if they got to go outdoors and move around.
The very last thing I want to do with family pictures is throw everyone into a routine of awkward poses. I like to let people move around, and have fun!

COUPLES • ST LOUIS • EDWARDSVILLE ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
Say You Will....
The first thing I tell my engagement clients is that we're not going for the "prom" look. That old, uncomfortable way of posing does nothing to convey the feelings of two people who are about to be married!
My engagement sessions are very relaxed, and involve the couple just spending some good quality time together. I try to capture people the way that they are day in and day out.

EDWARDSVILLE • ST LOUIS • WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
A Day In The Life Of.....
I've always wanted to journalize a happy couple's big day with photographs. It's been my theory that the most powerful and memorable moments of a wedding day happen in between the bigger moments....
I've been fortunate enough to run into some great people who think in the same way.
I've never liked any "cookie cutter" style wedding albums with many different versions of the same pose, only with different sets of people. I want to create something more than that. A visual record of what really happened that day, true emoton and all...

INVESTMENT & INFORMATION • ST LOUIS & EDWARDSVILLE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
I believe a wedding is a wonderful, momentus event. Therefore, I also believe that it calls for some breathtaking, well thought out photography. I consider weddings to be serious business, so in order to give them the time they deserve I only accept a very limited number of weddings per year.
I've restructured my rates into an all-inclusive, flat, creative-based fee of $2500. I don't offer print packages, albums, short wedding rates or any combination thereof. My style of photography encompasses the entire day, start to finish. I think that's the way it should be. However, with brides beginning to get ready at 10am, this makes for a long work day!
If you should decide to work with me, you'll get the entire day covered by me (unlimited number of pictures, of course), all the creative editing applied to your photos, a proof book which is yours to keep, and the high-res DVD with all of the images. Of course you may print from this DVD if you like. I'll also have the online gallery available for sharing photos and ordering prints. If you are interested in albums, etc afterwards I will be glad to assist you in finding quality designers to meet those needs.
