The Ridling Family

It's no secret that we are in love with our community here in Maplewood, MO.  Having Dan work a block from our house has been such a HUGE blessing (if only the ocean and all of our family were also only a block away :)).  Another blessing is the folks Dan has had the opportunity to work with in the school district here.  Amy is one of those teachers!  We had so much fun meeting up with her family in Forest Park right around the 4th of July!

Warming up!

Noah has the best smile!

His relationship with his mom and dad was so sweet!

Love this one!  His laugh is so cute!

Love those eyes!

 In the space of about 30 seconds a plane flew over and a fire truck went by!  He's for sure all boy!

 Probably my favorite of the morning!

 It was great spending the morning with you guys.  Thanks for braving the heat with us!

The Phillips Family

The Phillips were some of my very first clients when we started our business 3 1/2 years ago.  Katherine is one of my "kindred heart" friends.  Her husband is an incredible doctor (a Rheumatologist)... so I always knew the chance of them leaving St. Louis was a real possibility.  But when they actually left for an awesome job in Kentucky... it was so, so sad!  :(  We finally made it out to visit them in their new home at the end of June and were able to squeeze in a maternity session for their little guy due in August!  We did all of these pictures right out their back door!

Love these boys!

You are so beautiful, Katherine!

Thanks for a great weekend friends!  Can't wait to meet your little guy!
