…gray…
…all day it is has been on the verge of stormy weather…if you looked out the window there were dark clouds to the east, west, north, and south…yet it never rained.
…kinda like my mood today…on the verge of a major storm…
…just a lot of little incidentals that add up to one big “SCREAM”…
…but this afternoon the rain finally did come down and the kids and I splashed and laughed and played in it for as long as the sun would let us…
…SO…MUCH…FUN…
so many times I thought “man I should run in and get my camera”…but you know what I didn’t…
…doing so would take me out of the fun equation…and sometimes I have to remind myself I am a mommy first and photograher second and actually allow myself to be “in” the moment.
I did take mental pictures though
I wonder if they will remember our “rain dances” when they are older?…sigh…

…Happy belated 4th…
…I have been super busy these last few weeks…work…life…and over this 4th of July weekend I couldn’t help but reflect on how lucky I am to have it all…
did I mention that I HATE sparklers…my granny always said we shouldn’t hate anything…but 20 kids and 20 sparklers…that’s enough to send me off the deep end…thank God for the booze that calmed my nerves, but I must admit my voice is gone from screaming…too many near tradgedies…
I think I have mentioned this before…but we breed really good looking kids in Missouri…don’t you agree??

Couldn’t agree more! How is it that every client you have is drop dead gorgeous!? ( Jul 6th, 2010 5:40 pm)wonderful work as always Michelle.. such a treat to stop by your blog and see what you have been up too. ( Jul 6th, 2010 4:11 pm)um, yeah you do! Holy, the face on the first child…What a beauty! And oh those littls girlies on the bottom. Love your styling on the jacket shot– I know that’s all you! Lovely, Michele! The girls in the 2nd set–omg. Those faces!!! And great lookin seniors too. You rock!!! ( Jul 6th, 2010 3:07 pm)Michelle! I can’t wait to see the others. The girls look so sweet and the jacket/dress Addison is wearing looks wonderful in the pictures. Thanks for the teaser. ( Jul 6th, 2010 12:58 pm) |

…Ron and Jodie…engaged
So I have to say that once again…I am saddened by this post…not because I don’t love the shots I am about to show you, but because I can’t show you every.single.shot from their shoot.
Ron and Jodie are two of the most creative people I have ever met. When they said they were going to bring some things for their shoot…I had no clue they meant they were going to scour STL and IL for the coolest finds ever, pack them in their car and drive an hour for a fabulous engagement shoot. I have to mention that Jodie made the boutineer and bouquet you see in these pics…I was beyond floored! …and seriously check out their save the dates…
Can’t wait for their December wedding!!! xoxo





Thanks Ron and Jodie!!!!
stayed tuned for more total cuteness…lots of kiddos to be shared…
and did I mention I spent last week shooting the Matilda Jane Fall 2010 line…it completely and totally ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF…
