It was a chilly, breezy, and bright spring day when we met Lucas, his parents and his girlfriend at the Lewis and Clark Boathouse for his senior portrait session. I have known Lucas’s parents since I was a little kid. So it was so much fun getting to see everyone again and catch up! Lucas and his mom expressed a strong interest in train tracks for the session so we thought the Saint Charles train tracks will be the perfect place to photograph his photos. We had a great time, getting to know Lucas and photographing his session! We were excited to learn that Lucas will be going on to operating his own train someday in the future! So, be on the lookout, this guy could be your next train conductor! #SeniorPhotography #SeniorPhotos #SeniorPhotographer #TrainTrackPhotography #SeniorPhotosOnTrainTracks #TrainConductor #St.CharlesMainStreet #HistoricSaintCharles #SaintCharlesTrainTracks #SaintCharlesRiverfront#LewisAndClarkBoathouse
It was a super cold and windy spring day and these two did amazing! Stuck it out with us and braved the cold for some really amazing photos! We had a great time getting to know Brittany and Ryan and checking out Ryan's family farm property. We can't wait to meet their little one soon! A preview of Nicole and Justin’s a.k.a Nikki and Bud's wedding.These two were so much fun to be around! Nikki and Bud are such kind and wonderful people and are welcoming to everyone they meet. Nikki and Bud met at a karaoke bar which is actually unusual for them. They are both are kind of homebodies and usually never go out. So, it was "written in the galaxy" as these two like to say. For their first date, they went to the drag races. Even though it ended up raining the whole day 😢 which kind of made it hard to watch any races 😂 They ended up being able to talk the whole day, and really got to know each other! On 2/22/22 at 2:22 PM on Twosday, Bud proposed to Nikki the cute and quaint town of Kimmswick, MO. The wedding day took place at Fox Run Golf Course at The Carriage House. We love when everything takes place in 1 location! We started the day with getting shots but since the ceremony wasn’t until the evening, they wanted us try to get as many formals as possibly before the ceremony. The other tricky thing, they did not want to see each other before. So, we definitely had our work cut out for us and did have to photograph many formals in evening light. Nikki and Bud did a "first touch" instead where they held hands around a door frame so they could still not see each other. Before that though.... A first look with dad. They had a short and sweet ceremony that pretty much led right into the reception. At the reception during the father, daughter dance, what started as a traditional dance soon turned into a wacky mix of pop songs, country songs, and various other genres! It was hysterical, and they had everybody in stitches! We loved getting to know these two and had a wonderful time photographing their wedding!

For the first date, they went on a walk at Quail Ridge Park in Wentzville. Joe proposed in Florida at Discovery Cove during a dolphin swim! Marea, a dolphin there, swim over with a little white boat bout, that said “Brittany, will you marry me? Brittany said "yes!", and finally noticed that her parents and brother were in disguise in the beach area.😂 Joe and Brittany have a hard time describing each other and just one word. There were a couple words that we noticed repeated themselves that the both used to describe each other, such as patient, loving, and goofy and a beautiful smile. Perfect words to describe these two! We started the day with getting ready at the two separate hotels. Then we all headed to the zoo for multiple first looks with Brittany's Dad, brother, uncle and finally her groom. Brittany's dress was amazing! It was a Mia Grace - Disney Fairy Tale Wedding Allure Collection – Cinderella 2022. Complete with long cathedral vail, furry shawl, and long elegant gloves. We highly recommend doing a first look before the ceremony to help settle any nerves you might have. This can also be helpful if you don’t have much time in between the ceremony and reception to get formal pictures finished. They had a traditional Catholic ceremony at our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church. After the ceremony we went to forest park for more photos but the wind had picked up and it was even colder then earlier. Everyone toughed it out for a few photos but then Brittany called it and they piled into the warm bus and went on to the reception. The reception was at LIUNA in the Sunset Hills area. The hall was decorated in all of Brittany and Joe's favorite things! Each table had a unique and handmade centerpiece that showed a small window into the couples lives, displaying their many hobby and interests. These two have SO MANY hobbies, interest and TV shows/movies and things that they love. Harry Potter, Star Wars, Disney, Stranger Things, Animals (Brittany has three horses and a snake), and Aquariums. Brittany and Joe had a choreograph first dance. It was incredible! Another thing we recommend is having a choreograph first dance. It's a great way to keep your guests entertained during your first dance! We loved getting to know these two and had a wonderful time photographing and filming their wedding!

🌈Wedding theme: Simple 💒Ceremony venue: Earthbound Brewery 🏢Reception venue: same 📸🎥Photography and video: Sure Shot Video + Photo A preview of Bria and Rowan Fink's wedding at Haue Valley in Pacific, MO. These two met through mutual friends in high school. Thier first date was at Panera Bread, to do their homework, ended up sharing a strawberry banana smoothie🥤, super cute! After that they say "there’s hardly been a day they’ve been apart since!" On their anniversary weekend, they took a walk around a scenic cliff top at Stevens Lake. During this time Rowan their friends setting up the gazebo with decor and their doggy, Sadie. When it was time, Rowan walked Bria across the bridge towards the decor, there were two huge golden rings were hanging from the roof. Their dog, Sadie, had the ring box around her neck, approached from the other side. Rowan said "I'm incredibly sure I never want to be without you. Please be my wife so we can take on this life together." These two are perfect for each other and used words like caring, passionate, kind and understanding to describe each other. We couldn't agree more and we're fortunate enough to witness throughout their wedding day! They also had to pick a favorite feature. Bria said she loves Rowan's eyes👁. Rowan says he loves Bria's lips💋. These two say their favorite show they can't miss is Gray's Anatomy. 9-year-old, Collie Lab, Sadie is also a big part of their lives. Bria and Rowan say their typical date style is sushi and nighttime strolls near the water and love to hang out listening to music and watching comedies together. They also both enjoy tennis, reading, swimming and strategy games. They had a rustic/elegant wedding Haue Valley in Pacific Missouri, in their outside area set up area for ceremonies. The entrance to the ceremony space is two sliding wooden doors that can be open and closed with vines all around the outside. This is also where they chose to do their first look before the ceremony. We highly recommend doing a first look before the ceremony to help settle any nerves you might have. This can also be helpful if you don’t have much time in between the ceremony and reception to get formal pictures finished. After the ceremony we piled into "golf carts" /A.T.V's and took pictures at various locations on their property. The sun was peeking through in the perfect way, as you can tell from all the golden sun in so many of thier photos. The reception was also at Haue Valley. Bria and Rowan had a choreograph first dance. It was incredible! Everybody loved it and were filmed with their phones and whatnot. We loved their expression at the end when they knew they accomplished it and did a perfect job! Another thing we recommend is having a choreograph first dance. It's a great way to keep your guests entertained during your first dance! We loved getting to know these two and had a wonderful time photographing their wedding!

#GardensSIUE #knightsofcolumbus 🌈Wedding theme: Simple 💒Ceremony venue: Knights of Columbus 🏢Reception venue: same 📸🎥Photography and video: Sure Shot Video + Photo A preview of Rebecca and Nathan ‘s wedding in Silex, Missouri at Saddle Ridge Farm.These two met at work and went to Dos Primos for their first date. Rebecca was reading to her son when Nathan proposed. They have two children and say their favorite way to spend time together is kid free with dinner and a movie. These two both have silly personalities and loving hearts and are simply perfect for each other! We were fortunate enough to witness this during their engagement session and throughout the wedding day! They had an outdoor wedding at a small private vineyard. Conveniently, it's right next to Rebecca's family farm, Saddle Ridge Farm. It was one of the most amazing processionals we’ve ever seen! Bridesmaids were brought in on a horse and carriage. Rebecca rode on her one of her horses, for the bridal processional, escorted by her dad leading the horse. She looked like a princess! It was incredibly hot sunny August summer day! Rebecca was perfectly shaded at the ceremony, but unfortunately Nathan had full sun on his face! They both handled it like champs and giggled throughout the ceremony even as their son wandered around in front of them. After some family formals, and some pictures with the wedding party, we were all ready to head into some air-conditioning! The reception was at High Point Ridge in Silex, Missouri. It was very important to the couple to have all the vendors be local. Such a great way to showcase some of these smaller towns/companies. Suddenly, after a super-hot day, it started to rain which only lasted for a few minutes, and a rainbow popped out. We got Rebecca and Nathan to agree to pop outside for one more picture. Probably one of the most emotional parts of the whole day was watching dad dance with his two daughters. Such a wonderful and tender moment. We loved getting to know these two and had a wonderful time photographing and filling their wedding!

Your little one is on the move and into absolutely everything. You’re so proud to see them grow, you’re looking forward to a time when it’s not quite so exhausting, but it’s also bittersweet. Your little one isn’t a baby anymore and part of you wants to press the pause button and keep them this little for longer. But whilst it’s so important to capture this time and preserve our memories, having a photo shoot with a toddler can be a little more challenging than at other ages. Once they’re on the move many toddlers have a natural preference for exploring and investigating their surroundings over sitting or standing in one place for a photograph! So how can you make sure that your photo shoot is relaxed and enjoyable? A lot of it comes down to planning. In this article, I’ll share my top five my dos and don’ts for a relaxed photo shoot with your toddler. Do: Plan Your Shoot for A Time When Your Toddler Will Be Well Fed and Well RestedPreparing for a relaxed photo shoot starts before you book it. If you have a baby, toddler or young child it’s really important to consider when they are at their best during the day. For most children, this is when they’re well fed and well rested. Generally speaking, this is when children are at their happiest and most cooperative and scheduling your shoot for just after a nap and a meal or snack will make for a happier, more relaxed shoot. Don’t: Feed Your Toddler During the Photo ShootIf you’re anything like me, you definitely don’t want anyone to take your photograph whilst you have food in your mouth. It’s rare for anyone to look good in a photograph when they’re eating – even cute toddlers! But when they’re in the middle of a photo shoot and their toddler isn’t cooperating, many parents reach for the snacks. This is totally understandable. Most young children are calm and cooperative when they have food. But it doesn’t make for great photographs. And when you’re investing in professional photographs of your children you don’t want them to be making funny chewing faces in your family photographs. Instead, I recommend making sure your toddler is well fed before the shoot, and then keeping food out of sight until afterwards. Do: Plan for How You Will Engage and Keep Your Toddler FocusedOur style of family photography is natural and relaxed, and during a shoot I’ll often ask families to talk, play and connect with each other whilst they try to forget that we are there. We find that the most effective thing parents can do ahead of the shoot is to spend some time thinking about the kinds of games you play with your child that are always guaranteed to grab their attention and make them smile or laugh. Perhaps it’s singing an action rhyme, pretending to be the tickle monster or making a funny voice. For others it might be putting their child on their shoulders or swinging them up in the air. Having a list of different things, you can do to keep your little one focused on you or me in the moment will really help us to quickly capture a variety of different photographs and make sure that your toddler enjoys themselves. Don’t: Bring Toys That You Don’t Want to Have in the PhotographsSimilarly, a favorite toy or book can help to keep your toddler focused during the shoot. If you have any special toys or books that you would like to include in the photographs do pack these for the shoot too. They can make wonderful additions to the pictures and keep your little one entertained whilst we take them. But… I do recommend that if you don’t want a toy or book to appear in the pictures it is better to leave it at home or in the car. Out of sight usually means out of mind, and we won’t have to upset your little one by taking it away from them. Do: Ask the Photographer What They Would Like You to DoIf you’re at your shoot and your toddler is not feeling cooperative it can be tempting to start shouting at them, singing or jumping around to try and get their attention. This is completely understandable. You’re investing in professional photographs, and you want them to be perfect. But sometimes all this activity can have the opposite effect, and your toddler won’t be looking in the right direction or may become even more wound up. If your toddler isn’t feeling cooperative the best thing you can do is stay calm and ask the photographer what they would like you to do. This will depend on the situation. Sometimes it is helpful for me if parents do try and grab their child’s attention or make them laugh. Sometimes it’s helpful if they distract their child and engage them in an activity. On other occasions what works best is for you to step out of your child’s sight (where you can still see them of course); without audience children are often a lot more focused. Your photographer will know what your child needs to be doing for the best possible outcome so do ask them what they would like you to do. In Summary: How to Have a Relaxed Family Photo Shoot with Your Toddler 1. Plan your shoot for a time when your toddler will be well fed and well rested 2. Don’t feed your toddler during the photo shoot 3. Plan for how you will engage your toddler and keep them focused 4. Don’t bring toys that you don’t want in the photographs 5. Ask the photographer what they would like you to do We hope that this information has helped you to feel relaxed and prepared for your family photo shoot.

A preview of Laura and Omar's wedding day photographed at Sacred Heart Catholic Church of Troy and Birds of a Feather (barn venue).These two met online and met for dinner for the first date. Omar proposed unexpectedly one day when Laura came home from work. These two both have caring and loving hearts and are simply perfect for each other. We were fortunate enough to witness this during their engagement/family creek session and throughout the wedding day! They had an a full catholic ceremony at the beautiful Scared Heart Catholic Church in Troy, MO. Omar has two children and that were included in the ceremony as well and we're also baptized during the ceremony. They also did several other unique ceremonial things during the ceremony like the "braided cord" for example. After the ceremony and family formals, we headed to the reception venue, Birds of a Feather in Troy, Missouri. They have lots of unique spots for pictures! We especially liked the old wagon and barn doors of the venue. We loved getting to know these two and had a wonderful time photographing their wedding!

The Wheelhouse Bicycle is where these two met for the first time. So, it was a perfect place to start their engagement session at. Ellen came in looking for a bike one day and left with digits instead! lol😂 We opted for a shady spot near the beach at Creve Couer Park for our "second location" so we can do both beach pictures and woody pictures as well. We had a whole crew with us, Ellen, Nathan, both of their moms, their new puppy, and Rob and me. These two were dying to show us the "dirty dancing lift" that they have been working on for quite some time. We suggested the beach for a in case softer landing. The sun decided to pop out right at that moment and blasted our whole situation😫 We made the best of it and ended up with some really neat photos! We had a great time getting to know everyone and are SO looking forward to photographing and filming their wedding next year! #EngagementPhotographer

We started the day at Savana home. This would be the last day she spends in her childhood where she met Sami for the first-time years ago. So, it was the perfect place to have the first look. Of course, it wasn't a traditional first look, they danced and celebrated. A theme that would exist throughout the day. We then headed to Forest Park with a couple for a few bride and groom photos. After that we return to the home so that the couple could relax and have a bite to eat. Then, when the band showed up was back to celebrating again. from inside the house out to the front lawn where are the dancing and celebrating continued. This time with a five-piece percussion band complete with megaphone! Needless to say, everyone came out to watch in the neighborhood! Then, we all got in our cars and paraded to the venue, The LiUNA Event Center, honking our horns the whole way! When we arrived at the venue, more dancing and celebrating on our way to the actual room where the ceremony/reception would be happening. The room was decorated beautifully. Even a special spot upfront on a platform stage for Sami and Savana. A beautiful white couch arced over the top of the couch and ornate flower structure, and above that their names in gobo lights. We loved getting to know these two and had a wonderful time photographing and filming their wedding! #WeddingPhotographer

We met these two at the cute and quaint, Clarksville Missouri. A small river community off the Mississippi River with a population of just under 500. We simply loved it! It kind of felt like we had the whole town to ourselves most of the time! Rebecca and Nathan complement each other very well and are simply perfect together. They are sweet and playful together and keep each other giggling throughout the session! It is so cute♥️ Becca and Nate will have a "horse themed" wedding so when they showed us the sign they brought along, they made it for the wedding (It's their last name spelled out using horseshoes), we simply loved it and had to use it for pictures! It was very heavy though! We joked about it throughout the day😅 We had a great time getting to know these two and can’t wait for their wedding in August! #EngagementPhotographer #EngagementPhotography

Brittany and Joe are one of the first couples to come to our office to book their wedding. We talked for well over an hour! So, we knew this engagement session was going to be so much fun! Brittany and Joe live in Troy so when talking about engagement session locations Cuivre River was number one choice. We met Brittany and Joe at the top of Frenchman's Bluff. It is a lookout area where you can see the Cuivre River. We love the amazing rocks that you can walk out on to get a better view. We had to snap a drone photo of these two on this fantastic view. Check out the double exposure photo we did to show off this rocky landscape! After that we walked down the pathway that was very neat and then went down to more non-rocky ground to get some other types of shots. We had these two giggling and laughing throughout the session. We had a wonderful time photographing and getting to know these two! We can’t wait for the upcoming wedding in November! #EngagementPhotographer
#EngagementPhotography #CuivreRiverStatePark #frenchmansbluff #DoubleExposurePhotography A preview of Libby and Mike's floral themed wedding at St. Francis Xavier College Church. Libby and Mike met at friends Halloween party back in 2017. For the first date, they went out to dinner at a burger bar. On Memorial Day weekend they had planned a little trip and Mike suggested that they take their dog, Uno, for a walk before they go so, he won’t be so rowdy. They headed over to Lafayette Square Park to take the dog for a walk, walked to the gazebo where Mike got down on one knee. Libby started crying but most important of all, she said yes! This made for a great location to photograph their engagement session! We even started off the session at the very gazebo or Mike propose to Libby. Uno was even there for a few shots! He’s such a cute, rowdy rambunctious puppy! These two say their favorite TV show is “The Good Place" and they also enjoy going for walks, watching TV and traveling to new places. If asked if they could describe the relationship in one word Libby and Mike use the word "support". This is truly a perfect word to describe their relationship. We saw this throughout their engagement session, and on the wedding day. Libby and Mike had a traditional wedding ceremony at Saint Francis Xavier College Church. We loved Libby's beautiful white and floral wedding dress along with floral crown. She was determined to make this winter wedding feel like spring. Libby went to school at SLU, along with her two bridesmaids. So, after the ceremony and formals we walked a bit around the SLU campus to take a few more photos. Since it was a blustery cold winter January day, we only did a few photos outside before finding a building we could take more photos at inside. We loved getting to know these two and had a wonderful time photographing their wedding!

We started the day with a few getting ready photos at an Airbnb the couple rented near Forest Park. Next, we headed to Forest Park to The World's Fair Pavilion for a first look and other formal photos, since we had such a limited time in-between the ceremony and reception. It was a very sunny and beautiful but very windy, December day. Everyone tried their best to tough it out for pictures, but we found them often huddled around a circle trying to keep each other warm. The wedding ceremony took place The Jewel Box in Forest Park. This amazing greenhouse is a great place for ceremonies! With lots of natural light and seasonal plants and flowers! Next up, the reception at Genesis Catering. Rachael and Josh had a private last dance at the end of the reception, where they asked everyone to leave the reception Hall. It was just us (videographer and photographer) and Rachael and Josh. It was such an intimate and romantic moment, and we captured some really great photos and video. We loved getting to know these two and had a wonderful time photographing and filming their wedding! Congratulations and Best wishes! 🌈Wedding theme: Non-Traditional

Maggie and Frank will be welcoming their baby boy into the world very soon! We were so excited when they reached out to us to photograph their maternity and newborn session! We photographed their engagement session and the wedding, and we are so excited to get a chance to capture another milestone for this sweet and fun couple. I wish I could tell you all it was perfectly beautiful sunny skies and no wind at all, unfortunately that was not the case. Maggie and Frank were troopers as they braved the cold with us and we ended up with beautiful pictures! We had a great time yet again photographing Maggie and Frank and look forward to meeting baby Xavier soon! #MaternityPhotographer #MaternityPhotography #KlondikePark #KlondikeParkPhotographer #KlondikeParkPhotography #KlondikeParkMaternitySession #AugustaPhotographer #AugustaPhotography #MissouriPhotographer #MissouriPhotography #WinterPhotography
We met The Wuelling family on a beautiful but cold and windy fall morning We always love getting to see Jenny and Ray! We were lucky enough to shoot their wedding and now we get to photograph there ever growing family. We wish we could’ve spent more time talking with them unfortunately we were busy battling the winds. They were troopers as we did our best to stay warm to get some beautiful photos.
