Elnora Marie 7months

Those who have been following my blog know that I am super proud of my nieces. I love them each very much for very different reasons. Little Miss Elnora has been stuck with my camera in her face from the time she was born, actually, she is the start of my photography business. I will be forever grateful to her for helping her Aunt Amy find one of her huge passions in life. I love you Ellie, and I cherish the fact that I get to document you as you grow! Love, Aunt Amy.

She is learning to crawl! Picture taking is going to get much more mobile!!!

Caden and Brynn

I could give you 100 different reasons why I posted 15 pictures instead of my normal 10 on this post. I could tell you it is because I have known these two's daddy since I was in diapers, I could tell you it is because his little sister was my first real friend, or I could say that its the end of January and there won't be a lot of posts this month, I could tell even you it is because they paid me extra for the publicity (haha totally kidding), although 3/4 of the above statements are true the real reason I posted more than the norm is simply because these kids are stinking cute! Congratulations Nancy and Ryan, you two have some very beautiful children!

These two had the cutest rooms ever. Caden's was decorated with toy cars and Brynn's was every little girl's dream room- fully equipped with a pink chandelier! They have a very talented, and very patient Mommy and Daddy.

Belly Kisses!

I could not possibly leave this one out, I just LOVE baby feet!

Merry Christmas to the Frostys!

My best friend is undoubtably one of the best people God placed on the planet. Every year I thank God for her and our friendship. She was the best Maid of Honor for me at my wedding this past summer and I don't know that I will ever be able to repay her for every wonderful thing she has done for me. To show her how much I love her, I decided to be sneaky and take some pictures of what true love really is. What better models to use than her parents, two people who I also love very much.

It was FREEZING when we finally got the chance to meet up for pictures. We were so cold we only took a few shots, but I think they were enough to make their daughter have a nice surprise Christmas Morning.

Happy Holidays Everyone. Enjoy the rest of the season.

I love you Ashley, thank you for being my best friend.

The Fischer's Children

I love being a little sneaky when the situation calls for it. Megan called me wanting to surprise her mom with photos of herself and her siblings for Christmas. We headed out to Illinois right before St. Louis got pelted with tons of rain. Similar to my previous session, the Fischers brought along some very fun hats for their photos...

I can already tell I would LOVE to do a family session with the Fischer's. Although I have never met their parents, it appears all of their kids inherited some great genes. If the parents are half as beautiful as their children are, I may have some models on my hands!

Duing-Davis Christmas Session

I know, I know- I have been a horrible blogger lately. I am so behind on posts but that is only because I had such a wonderful Christmas with my family and friends. Before all of the hustle of the holidays though, I was able to squeeze in a few family photo sessions (and a few sneaky sessions too). When April let me in on her plan for themed Christmas photos, I was immediately on board. The Duing-Davis family does a different theme every year. Since they went to Disney in 2009, what could be a better prop than Mickey Mouse Ears??!!

Fall Wrap Up

Well its sleeting so I am officially declaring it winter which means I will be going into hibernation. With the exception of a few sessions for close friends and and family and a couple spots for Birthday/Newborn/Maternity sessions, I will be spending the winter cuddled up with my husband and puppy. It's been a great 2009, we got married, got a cute new niece, I went back to school for my masters, and last but not least: started my own photography business! So long Fall, it's been a good run- you will be missed!

One of the perks of our neighborhood: Sailboat Races!

Our last BBQ of the season:

This was the evening after a horrible WEEK of dreary, wet weather.

Alright winter, bring it on! I'm ready for lots of snow and hot chocolate! Happy Holidays Everyone!
