…Studio…
…or should I say shooting space?? Regardless, I have a place of my own now. It’s been in the works since November. So things have certainly moved slowly, but that’s okay with me. Let’s just say I LOVE my space. It’s about 600 square feet in a building that is part of the Historic Lemp Brewery. My building address is on, the-ever-so awesome, Cherokee Ave…aka antique district. Lots of artsy folk around those parts. I love it. Anywho, I’m still waiting on a few key furniture pieces to arrive so once that happens I will post some pull backs, but for now…here is my first shoot in the space. Miss Stella in red…an ode to Valentine’s Day. ( I bought that veil on clearance at H&M years ago and have been waiting for the chance to use it.) Well, good things come to those who wait…cuz I have also been waiting for 3 years for Stella to fit into that skirt. FINALLY!!
Oh and if you would like to book a boudoir shoot or work on your modeling portfolio…or hey just want a session to get some pretty pictures of yourself. Contact me. I am now booking sessions in the space. 314-852-6503 or mlhuesgen@gmail.com
Geez that girl…so full of spunk and soul.

…before…
…the most surreal part of being a mother is the unwaivering connection you have to your children. I’m sitting here thinking back on all my experiences before they were around, and while I am fully aware that they have not been with me for a large part of my life, i can’t help but feel their presence in those memories…like they were there all along I just couldn’t see them. They are so intertwined with the deepest part of my being…it’s undescribable.
They are growing up so fast these days. Lukas doesn’t fit in my lap very well anymore…Stella just got her ears pierced…geez. I couldn’t go on and on. It’s certainly bittersweet. On one hand, I am so very thankful that I get to watch them grow and that they are growing in healthy bodies. On the other hand, I want to slow down time and just stare at them as they are for a few years.
I guess that is the beauty of photography. It stops time for me. Freezes a moment that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.
I know I have more pictures of them from this past year, but currently I can only find these….and I don’t know….I just felt like sharing some pictures of the precious beings that have been with me since the beginning of time.
the best time we had all year was the sweltering hot day we decided to cool off in the creek…clothes and all…
XOXOXO

Beautiful – your words, as well as your pictures! They really do grow up way too fast. ( Feb 3rd, 2012 9:51 am)Gah. The last time you took pics of my boys together was 16 months ago. Now they play and wrestle and fight. I need to start saving my pennies so I can get some shots like this of them together. Soon, momma. XO ( Jan 16th, 2012 9:11 pm)Why don’t I live somewhere as pretty as that?! No fair! ( Jan 13th, 2012 3:33 pm)What a beautiful sentiment … and beautiful photos. You should write this in your handwriting and put it in an envelope along with these printed photos for your kids someday – I’ll bet it would mean the world. They are so beautiful! Love these <3 ( Jan 13th, 2012 7:57 am)Looks like they were having a blast! Beautiful photos as always ( Jan 13th, 2012 2:38 am)STUNNING! What treasures! ( Jan 13th, 2012 1:17 am)I adore the reflection photo. ( Jan 12th, 2012 10:10 pm) |

…Angela and Matt…
…MARRIED…
when you get married in December in Missouri, you can pretty much count on a few things…temps around 30, rain and or snow, not a bit of sunshine. Well, Matt and Angie must have put some REALLY great karma out into the world because, if you didn’t know better, you would have thought it was spring outside on their wedding day. Just minus the green…
Danielle Erb fashioned Angela’s hair and make-up and in such an elegant, romantic way.
there were wedding pictures of family all over the walls dating back a few generations. You could tell that marriage was considered a life long commitment in this house.
Love this shot of the girls and father just before their prayer. Father was a riot. I’ve never seen a priest with rhythm on the dance floor…actually I don’t think I had ever seen a priest on the dance floor…LOVE IT!
St. Louis makes a great backdrop, especially when no other place in the city as a smidgen of color.
The reception at the Met was spectacular…and I got to see that massive tree in their lobby up close….who needs Time’s Square.
Have a wonderful time on your honeymoon! I’ll have all your pics ready and waiting when you get home!!

These are so incredible. This is, hands down, the best family in the United States of America and you captured them beautifully. I have chills. ( Jan 12th, 2012 10:23 am)The one of the girls and the priest…I LOVE it! ( Jan 6th, 2012 5:54 pm) |

…Ice and Greg…
…engaged…
When it comes to long distance relationships Greg and Ice are pro’s. Ice lives and works in Thailand and Greg lives and works in Washington D.C. They have different time zones, sleep schedules, and wardrobes, one thing they do have in common (besides a love for the movie UP and White Castle) is the most important…they love each other enough to make it all work. Right on!
We met up on THE coldest November day. I think it was around 30 degrees during our session…but when you have to make it work…you have to roll with the punches…and roll we did. Lots of laughs! Can’t wait for April!
Hey Greg…hang on to your fiance’…
Oh another note…Merry Christmas to all! I hope everyone’s hearts continue to be filled with love, joy, thankfulness, and satisfaction. I know mine is…XOXO

…Nicole and Todd…
…married…
it was a typical November day…gloomy, a wee bit soggy, with the exception of the temperature which topped out around 60. With that temperate November weather of course came gail force winds. Didn’t stop the Stika-Robben party though. There was sunshine in their smiles and Spring in their steps. What a lovely lovely day it was.
Nicole’s Pronovias gown and her Mischka Badgley shoes were to die for…
Then we dashed over to St. Ambrose for a big fat ITALIAN WEDDING…
Nicole’s Aunt and Uncle own Milo’s so of course everyone had to head over there for a bit after the wedding. Luckily we were able to get in about 30 or 40 minutes of portraits.
the boys were dashing in the suits they bought…they love each other so…
The reception at Neo was gorgeous…and seriously, I think every single aunt there brought a carload of baked goods. Thank you aunties…my kids loved the goodies you sent me home with.
Congrats Nicole and Todd…I hope you had a wonderful honeymoon! You guys were a dream to work with…and Nicole I may want to copy some pages out of that design book…you got style girl.

Italian weddings are the best. Perhaps I’m a bit biased but it’s true. And these pictures…amazing as usual. You’re a freaking phenom. ( Dec 19th, 2011 11:41 am) |
