…the good samaritan…
..Janice…who found my camera bag, and returned it to me! Thank you! I would feel really crummy if it weren’t for you! Next time you find something…make every effort to return it to the person who owns it…it will make you feel really good and God will love you for being the honest person you are!
You won’t believe the ladies I have been photographing lately…seriously…you saw my last post…now check out this one…
Jordyn, Emma, Haley, and Molly were knocking my socks off all week long! Even amid this disgusting heat and humidity!




Thanks ladies for all the laughs!!!
Stay tuned cuz I am gonna blog about my fav shoot ever for MJC’s fall catalog!!

…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!

…Class of 2011…
…lonely souls out there, prepare to eat your hearts out.
First I have Mike from Pacific High School. It’s rare to meet a teenage boy that wears his confidence in the form of a smile and polite manners. Most, think you have to defend your confidence with a tough persona…not Mike. At his young age, he knows that being confident is embracing all that you are, putting it out there for all to know…and above all else…being a gentleman. This young man is going places!! So glad to have been a part of that journey Mike.
Meet the hilarious, adorable, ever-so-humble…Mike Howard.




Next up is Sierra from Timberland High School. She is a sweet, gorgous young lady whose skills on and off the soccer field will take her far in this life! Not to mention she has the most adorable dimples…sorry Sierra, but you do…;)




Thanks you two!!!
Oh and I would love to earn this title Best St. Louis Family Photographer…will you vote for me if you think I am deserving? You only have to sign in once and you can vote everyday!

…sunshine…
…did I ever tell you guys my Uncle Owen calls me Sunshine…I have always thought that was just the sweetest thing…
but on another note…was last weekend not dreadful, fellow Missourians?? I had to reschedule all my sessions…without these next two rays of sunshine I may not have made it through the week. I love a good thunderstorm…but days and days of rain…sorry mother nature, but you’re disrupting my bread and butter…give us a little break…at least on the weekends…;)
So Seniors…my how I love shooting them…and I have quite a few scheduled over the next few months and I can’t wait…bring em on…
How about lovely Maddie…she will will graduate from Timberand High Class of 2011.





and then sweet precious Johanna…I have known her mommy and daddy since college. It’s so amazing to meet the babies of people I have known for so long…
Congratulations Beth and Dave…she is BEAUTIFUL…

But it does bring out the greenest grass and pretty flowers. Stunning sessions! The senior girl is so beautiful and the locations are stunning. Beautiful photos, Michelle! ( May 21st, 2010 4:55 pm)seriously…the weather? OMG, it was terrible. no we’re going to be almost 90 and it’s going to be like a sauna. oh well…there’s sunshine and how can we complain about that. and the photos…absolutely gorgeous. thinking about you! Really? Do only beautiful senior girls come to you? She’s gorg and so are the shots. Love the one with her lying down with the book. And lovely newborn. The last shot is divine.
