Here we are, January 1, 2020! 2019 was an amazing year for my business! Like, really amazing! I made a goal of shooting 5 weddings, and I surpassed it by shooting 6! Six weddings may not seem like a lot, but I went from 1 in 2018 to 6 in 2019. So, I’d say that’s […]

It was an absolute joy to be with Erin and Chris on their wedding day this past August! They were married at the gorgeous Hermann Hill Winery  in Hermann, MO! The portraits were insanely beautiful and everything went as planned. My day actually started with a lot of tears. Erin and Chris opted not to […]

My friends Melissa and Corbin really know how to throw a party! We were invited to a day of fun out in the country. Their country house is in the middle of nowhere, a few miles outside of Bourbon, MO. We only had a few days of fall weather here in the midwest (at least […]

St. Louis has a million photographers. I’m not exaggerating, ok, maybe a little, but there are a TON! We’re definitely in a saturated market, and if you ever got business advice from anyone they’d probably tell you to skip photography and find another line of work.

Late last fall, the girls and I took a road trip to McDowell Farm School in Nauvoo, Alabama to visit a friend who was interning there. We got the grand tour which included: feeding the pigs, petting the bunnies, feeding the chickens, checking for eggs, and digging for “treasures” aka sweet potatoes. The girls  had […]

When I asked Lily to tell me something she liked about her mom she said, “I like it when she sings.” I like when Shelly sings, too! She’s on the worship team at our church, and was my introduction to the Trauterman family. They’re a pretty amazing family. Abby and Bryan just ran the MO […]

When they planned their wedding, they knew they wanted Dani to come with them, and who could blame them? She was amazing to work with, and her […]
