E. & S.

My dear friend, Anna, talked to me this fall about doing portraits of the two kiddos she nannies for as a Christmas gift for their parents.  How cool is that?!?  So... I swung by their St. Louis home for a bit at the end of November to get some shots of these cuties.  And can I just take a second to say how much I love photographing kids in their home.  1. They are so much more comfortable in their own space... and 2. I think it's so neat to document them at that age in their home with their things!
  
 S. in her rocking chair in her nursery.  Such a sweet space!!



 She gave me so many sweet smiles!
E. took a little more convincing.  :)  I love serious looks anyway! 
 Had to get some shots of Anna!
 E. LOVES his trains!

 
It's SOOO nice when it's just warm enough to sneak outside!



Was awesome getting to spend some time with you guys!

GMP - 3 months

I love getting to document families as kids reach major milestones!  It's amazing how much a baby can change in 3 months!  Dan and I met up with the Phillips family in Paducah again in mid November for Grant's 3 month portraits and to get some family pictures.  


Taking pictures can be so exhausting!  :)  Grant needed a little power nap before we 
headed out to a local winery for their family portraits.
 Favorite!
 Sometimes you don't notice little things until you are editing... like this.  I actually laughed out loud when I saw the boys!  They were done!  :)
After the family portraits we stopped inside the winery for a great bottle of wine.  Thanks guys!  As we were heading out to load up to head back to their house to get some more shots of Grant... we stopped to get a few more family pics with this beautiful light!  Love this one!
 I've learned you can always get happy shots of a baby on the changing table!
 Mr. Serious!
 The older two boys also have 3 month portraits sitting up in a chair.  Grant did such a great job!
Loved ending the night with sushi with you guys!  Wish we lived close enough to do dinner together every month!
