Cool Relief! | St. Louis Child Photographer

Oh boy, are you feelin' the heat? I feel like we've moved to the Amazon Rainforest. :) We've been taking advantage of our pool as much as possible for some cool relief!

This girl's faces kill me...


Bam! How's that for some sass?


The light outside of our town home in the evening is gorgeous. Love these two...


Stay cool, St. Louis!

Can't Help Myself | St. Louis Children's Photographer

I hope you don't get sick of seeing pictures of my kids any time soon! I don't have my new website up and running quite yet and haven't started taking on sessions here in St. Louis. So until I do, I'm afraid you'll have to *endure* a few more of my little loves.

Left- such a Cami face. Right - love the clasped hands.





These are her "silly eyes" - she thinks she's hilarious.


We spend a lot of time doing puzzles these days. Carson loves them.


...and he loves crossing his eyes too. Let's hope it doesn't stick!


I think next week I'll start back up with Tell All Tuesdays if anyone's still visiting this blog. :)

Sweet darlin' girl | St. Louis Children's Photographer

A few candids of my sweet (okay, actually pretty crazy), darlin' girl the other morning.

Her hair kills me. Love it to death.

Splish Splash | St. Louis Child Photographer

Did I mention our new place has a pool? LOVE.






We go every. single. day. It's a blast spending time with Daddy at the pool after dinner!

A Sunday Picnic

On Sunday, my little family took a walk to the beautiful nearby Grange Estate, which was built in the 1600s. We ate a picnic dinner on the grounds and enjoyed the perfectly wonderful weather.












You may have guessed by the pictures, but we had a nice time. :)

Poladroid Project | Philadelphia Child Photographer

Oooh, look at me getting all funky with Poladroid's cool download (get it HERE). I snapped these quickly during the kids' bath a few nights ago, in terrible light, and I'm okay with the fact that they are far from perfect. I did just order a Lightscoop from ADORAMA, thanks to my friend Lillian's success with it, and on THIS POST from the Momtog blog. Hopefully my next set of night time bath pictures are a lot better!

I promise the bath water was (relatively) clean, not green and murky!





I'd even kiss that cute nose with snot and food covering it.


Giving sis a kiss on the arm (not sucking her blood).


I just love those little wispy pieces of hair by her ear.

Vday Wishes | Philadelphia Photographer

Better late than...yada yada yada. The USB cord I use to get the images off of my camera has stopped working, and I carelessly told my dear friend the WRONG card reader to pick up for me while she was out (since I don't have a car most days - thank you, never-ending-student-hubby!), so I wasn't able to get these images edited until today, after borrowing another card reader.

So...without further ado: Happy (late) Valentine's Day from me and my sweeties! (Cheesy, I know.)












And here are a few I snapped after church on Vday.


This is the real Carson.











I love my little valentines.

Snow Days! | Philadelphia Child & Family Photographer

Unless you have your head under a rock, you know that the East Coast has gotten a lot of snow in the last five days. :) Here are some images I got of my cute little family checking out the winter wonderland outside, and even playing in it a bit. Today it's snowed even more - it's just crazy. Hope you're staying warm.

Love that dimpled hand.


And those dark eyelashes.

My Family | Philadelphia Family Photographer

Every year I take pictures of our dear friends the J Family and Clar takes some of our family as well. It's a fun little tradition and makes getting a Christmas picture a lot easier! This year I wanted to be able to manually set the settings but make it doable for Clar - so I brought along my tripod (duh) and it worked like a charm. I'd have her stand in for me and get the shot set up and then all she had to do was snap the shutter! I'm so happy with how these turned out. These were taken the weekend of Halloween right as the leaves were turning, at my favorite field.

My dad was in town and helped out so much.


I love these sweet little moments with these two great guys.


Carson (3 1/2) and Camille (10 mos)











Clar took this one to update my profile pic...too bad I look like a hunchback! :)

We stood in the middle of the road to catch the beautiful leaves on a lawn across the street.





One I snapped on our way out.


Thanks so much for capturing these for me Clar...you da besss.
