Welcome Ethan James!

This past week my sister and her husband welcomed their second boy, Ethan James. Adam and I were lucky enough to be there to help take care of Michael during her stay at the hospital. Of course we think Ethan is absolutely adorable! Michael is ridiculously cute around the little guy, too -- I can't wait to see how he turns out as a big brother.

(Make sure your sound is on!)

Congrats you two! Here's to hoping you get some more sleep soon!

Mr. C ~ 5 months

Last time we checked in on our little fellow he was still safe and snug inside mom. I can't believe it's taken me 5 months since his birthday to see him! Not only is he super cute, but he is quite possibly one of the most laid-back babies I've ever met -- he's completely content to sit and entertain himself or just people watch. His parents are so lucky!

And on to what we're really here for - those super pinch-able cheeks and big blue eyes:

Sarah + Stephen = Married!

AH! I know, I know. Haven't posted any new pics in a while. Here's a slideshow from a wedding I went to back in July for a couple friends from college. I'm loving the sunflowers. :)

Kendrick + Tiffany - The Reception

Since the first slideshow was just the ceremony, I thought the reception deserved a little love too. Enjoy!

Kendrick + Tiffany = Married!

Last weekend Adam and I headed out to a tiny little town almost 2 hours from St. Louis to watch my "brother" get married. I say "brother" because while I don't actually have a brother, Kendrick might as well be one as I have known him for over 17 years and our families have always been close friends. Over the past year I have been following all the wedding going-ons though his sister, and I can't believe the actually day has come and gone.

While I wasn't the photographer at the wedding, I did take a few pictures throughout the day and thought I'd share a few early teasers!

Congrats Kendrick and Tiffany! We wish you the best!

Lynnsey + Michael: Expecting!

Several months ago I received a phone call from my very good friend from college in the middle of the day. As this was a rather unusual time for her to call, I suspected something was up. Sure enough, she was calling with the wonderful news that she was pregnant. Not much later she asked if I would take her maternity pictures, and I couldn't have been more honored or thrilled.

Lynnsey, since I know you're waiting on pins and needles to get the pictures back, I'm putting up a few of my favorites to hold you over for now. ;)

Congrats Lynnsey and Michael! The next 6 weeks will fly by before you know it and Colston will be here!

He's a Wrasslin' Man!

Oh my sister has her hands full. Michael is definitely a little boy through and through. He just LOVES to wrestle and rough house. Particularly with "the boys". Here he is wrestling with Grandpa, who's going to win?

Mihcael looks like he's stuck...


But he breaks free!






Uh-oh! Grandpa looks like he's tiring out...


And we have a winner!
