It’s that time of year again. turkey, stuffing, raking leaves, football. Oh, yes, and lets not forget the most important thing to be thankful for… family.
Please take the time to enjoy yourself and those around you and most of all, please have a safe holiday
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Well my newest client has had his official 2nd shoot. My nephew Carter was born on May 12th and has graced our blog once before in his first official “Welcome to the World” shoot. Carter has changed so much in the last month. He’s such a good baby and has an adorable little personality. I really wish I could see him more. Here are a few of our favorites from the shoot.
Sometimes we think so much alike it’s scary. Dan and I both bought each other netbooks for Christmas. Dan bought me one and said that he got it in pink so that he wouldn’t be tempted to keep it for himself. Well little did he know he had one right under the tree “in black”. We had a great Christmas and hope everyone else’s was just as filled with fun family memories.
Merry Christmas everyone. We hope Santa brought you everything you asked for and we hope you all have a wonderful family filled day. Happy Hoidays everyone!

This weekend, Crystal and I volunteered to participate in “Motion for Kids”. It’s a program for children who have been impacted by the legal system. We spent the afternoon at the Edward Jones Dome taking pictures of the kids with Santa. It was so cool seeing the genuinely huge smiles on this kids faces when then saw Santa!
When one of the little boys Crystal was shooting replied to Santa after being asked what he wanted for Christmas, he replied… “a Nintendo DS and my family”. Crystal’s heart nearly broke in half.
Over 2500 children and their families attended the event and included sponsors like St. Louis Rams, St. Louis Bar Foundation, and St. Louis Bar Association, Catholic Charities, Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition, First Book, Grace Hill-PATCH, and Midwest Litigation Services.
There was so much for the kids to do including a book corner, and inflatable rock climbing wall, St. Louis Rams cheerleaders, music, and even getting to play catch on the field with some of the Rams players and awesome presents!
After we finished shooting all the kids, we packed up all the gear, we took a stroll around the football field before heading out. All I can say is WOW! The field looks a LOT smaller on TV!
We can’t wait to do it again next year.
