…back in the swing…
…wow…it’s been a while since I last posted…well for me anyway. We had vacation, and then went back out of town again. Life has just been wizzing by. We have a couple of new additions to our family…I let the kids play the “throw the ball in the fish bowl” game at Homecomers thinking there was no way they would win. I was wrong. Stella named her goldfish Michelle (LOL) and Luke named his Joe after his Fort Wayne buddy.
I have photographed 9 girls and 2 boys in the last 6 days. 3 siblings, one cousin, 2 seniors, and a group of bff’s who are about to head off to college.
I think Katie Perry needs to eat her words about California girls being the best…these Missouri girls are the proof!!!! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…we breed em good here in Missouri!
and these kiddos…they all had the most ridiculously beautiful blue eyes…
Stay tuned next week…more seniors and adorable kids!!!
Oh and it you don’t mind…stop by here and vote for me!

…Midwest’s got talent…
…so not only is this couple crazy gorgeous…they are crazy talented. Hope and Therapy is their band…and they can rock it like no other. I am so honored they choose me to be their wedding day photog. I can’t wait for their wedding on the bluffs on Alton. IL. In the meantime, how about some from their engagement shoot. I started preparing this blog and realized I couldn’t share all of their pics…just be on the lookout…I am updating my wedding website to showcase all of my engagements soon…it is on my Mega-to-do-list.
Next meet Miss Ashley. She is representd by Global Management 101. She can act, sing, model…she’s got many talents packed behind her stunning beauty.
and how about this beautiful little thang…she hasn’t quite developed her arsenal of talents yet…but I think it is fair to say she may be the cutest toddler around…
If you made it through this post…pat yourself on the back.
Oh and photographers…there is one spot left for the Mentorshop!!!!! Is it gonna be yours???

…that time of year again…
…and I couldn’t welcome it more!!! Had such a busy week I can’t even share it all in one blog post…babies, and toddlers, and couples…OH MY…
I’ll just get right down to it…I had two precious newborns this week and they BOTH had the most darling names…Lola and Isla…Parents are getting real good with the baby naming…real good…it makes me happy. Without futher ado…
Meet Lola…is that toe shot not the sweetest thing?…next to Lola of course…;)
and then her (soon to be best friend)…precious Isla…and I actually don’t think they live too far apart…
and then this little family was so darn sweet. Mom and Dad were dressed so perfectly to compliment little Adeline (yes, another fantastic name) and her dress. Everyone knows I am partial to curly headed kids and this little one was after my own heart…
Next was this gorgeous couple…we weren’t sure this session was going to happen…but alas it did…and I am so glad for it…thank you Mother Nature 
Lejla is planning the wedding all the way from Miami…come to think of it…5 of my brides are planning weddings here from far way places…see St. Louis really does rock!!!
Meet Lejla and her Ed…
This next series says just about everything about them…loving, playful, and a wee bit cheeky…btw…the dictionary defined cheeky as bold and saucy…they definitely are…
Stay tuned next week…more gorgeous people coming at ya….

GOOD LORD WOMAN!!! These are ALL STUNNING!!!! I LOVE these pictures! Her dress against the green clovers is great and they are super photogenic! ( May 7th, 2010 8:01 am)The baby photos are so so precious-there is a softness in the colors/tones that goes perfectly with the newborn skin. And those couple shots are absolutely joyous! ( May 6th, 2010 1:10 pm)All beautiful Michelle!! ( May 4th, 2010 9:52 pm)So many great pics! I can’t even pick a favorite! ( May 4th, 2010 12:44 am)wow you rock girl, these are gorgeous! ( May 3rd, 2010 8:57 pm)Oh wow, the babies are TOO cute! <3 ( May 2nd, 2010 11:05 pm) |

…warmth and sunshine…
yes…this beautiful family is all warmth and sunshine…
being around Laura is like being wrapped in a warm blanket…you just feel cozy and comfortable…and Lance’s smile is like a ray of sunshine…so it is no wonder that these two very old souls found their way to one another.
…and their babies…{sigh}…two of the most precious little people you will ever meet. Miss Ainsley has more personality than Richard Simmons and Dolly Parton combined…
…I just adore her little spirit…
…so it is no wonder that I just want to sing from the mountaintops how much I loved their family shoot. We dyed eggs, read Easter bunny books, picked someone else’s flowers…lovely…just a lovely time.
Thanks McClard Family.
a few sneakie sneakie’s
and thank you to Annie Laurie’s too!

…Black and White…
…so I’m gonna be honest and out myself…I have been a super grouch lately. For reasons out of my control, albeit,(ladies you know what I mean)…but nonetheless…CRAB APPLE MICHELLE…
By the end of Friday I was at my wits end…nothing was going to make my dreary night better… As hard as Danny was trying, it just wasn’t helping. He made a fire, poured me a beer…still no smiling Michelle. Then Stella accidentally turned off the lights…something so simple, completely transformed my mood. Suddenly the music sounded better, my beer tasted sweeter, and the fire was much more cozy.
We ended up having the most fabulously wonderful night. We danced and laughed and played with glowsticks by the warmth of the fire for hours…oh what a wonderful night it was! Thanks my dearest ones.
Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing these two beautiful sisters. As far as coloring goes they are on opposite ends of the spectrum…one with blonde hair and the other with black hair, and even though they have only had 11 days to get to know eachother, I could tell they were going to best friends one day!

oh my. oh my gosh how sweet ( Feb 22nd, 2010 7:26 pm)Goodness me those are gorgeous! Such a BEAUTIFUL girl, and what a stunning baby. ( Feb 18th, 2010 4:49 am)What a striking little girl. Your capture of her is great. Baby sister is a little doll too. Love the work! ( Feb 16th, 2010 8:51 pm)I am SO with you on the grouchiness part. All of us grouchy people need to go somewhere warm and talk about our feelings or something… or just sleep. I love all your images, this little girl is so adorable! ( Feb 16th, 2010 8:27 pm)Such beautiful girls!I come from a family where we all have different hair colors…I love it! ( Feb 15th, 2010 5:05 pm)So sweet Michelle…I’m glad you are in a better mood and that you are blessed with such a wonderful family. We must get together girl, even if it’s just for our boys to play and we don’t even have to talk photography (ha, yeah right!). You continue to inspire me! <3 ( Feb 15th, 2010 3:05 pm)dang I love you ( Feb 15th, 2010 3:05 pm) |
