The Polans: 3.21.2015

Remember the adorable Polan Family from back in November?!  Well, that shoot I had with them back then was actually an pregnancy announcement shoot as well!

This was the adorable pic they came up with to announce their upcoming one's arrival!

Anyways, so Ann is about 2 months away from her due date, so we got back together to take some family, big sister, and maternity pics!

A special shoutout to my fabulous hubby Mike who second shot this session with me -- he was armed with my other camera and a fisheye lens.  I think his pics turned out fantastic! --thanks hubby!!

Can you say GORGEOUS weather?!  It was absolutely gorgeous today for pictures, and I just love how all of these turned out!  Baby Oliver is one lucky dude to be coming into such an awesome family!  Enjoy!

Brittany & Zac: 9.19.2014

This might be the cutest.couple.ever.  Seriously.  I cannot handle how adorable Brittany and her hubby Zac are!

Brittany is due with their first little one--a girl, Emma--at the beginning of November, and she and her husband Zac were in STL this weekend for Brittany's brother Curtis' wedding...who was marrying my sister-in-law Erin!  (Did you follow that?!!)  Anyways, since they were in town, we decided to do a maternity session before all of the wedding festivities commenced.  Wow, I'm so glad we did, because we had gorgeous weather, gorgeous light, and a stunning couple to shoot!

Enjoy these pics from Brittany and Zac's session...I can't wait to meet little Emma when she arrives!

Matt & Katie: 3.8.2014

Babies make me so happy.  Especially when people ask me to take their photos showing their love and excitement before the baby is even born!  *squeallll!* I just love this.  I cannot wait to meet baby girl Mooney so so soon!  She's due to arrive March 31st...Katie was an absolute trooper being nearly full-term and willing to do nearly anything for her photos.

I was super duper excited when Matt and Katie asked me to take their maternity photos.  I'm biased, since Katie is my sister-in-law, but dang, she's one gorgeous mama-to-be.  She and I had been going back and forth sending Pinterest photo ideas back and forth the past few weeks, and I really think her session turned out just as good (if not better!) than the pins we'd been exchanging.  Matt was so good too (which, all you dads and future dads out there, I know is super hard to do because most guys just don't like photos!) and I really think these photos turned out beautifully.  Enjoy!
