the O'Laughlin Family! St. Louis Family Photography

Meet the adorable O'Laughlin family.  This is a two part session; the first part we met at the Arch grounds and took advantage of that pretty golden sunset light.  The second part took place on an overcast day in Forest Park.  Twins Connor and Logan were so adorable and I think they actually had fun getting their pictures taken :)  Pretty little Emma loved sitting with her Aunt Jenny.  Enjoy!

the Drago's! St. Louis Family Photography

Meet the adorable Drago family!  I have to start off this post by saying that Jen did a fabulous job picking out their outfits.  I love the green highlights and how the brown brings a touch of fall.  If you're thinking about doing a family session, definitely get in touch with me beforehand to get some tips on how to dress your kids, choose slimming (but not boring!) clothes, and how to coordinate, rather than match, your family's outfits.

We met at the park in St. Louis a little before sunset and captured that awesome soft light.  We were lucky to get a pretty pink sky at the very end of the session too.  Katelyn and Colin had so much energy... their favorite thing to do was run and crash into each other :)  Whenever they didn't want to smile, all I had to do was tell Jen and Brian to kiss and that elicited several minutes of giggling.  Enjoy!

Baby Alexander - St. Louis Family Photography

I'm still catching up on my blogging and realized I never posted baby Alexander's full session (remember his sneak peek from this summer?)  Back in February, I did maternity photos of Lisa and Alex when he was still just a baby belly.  I knew he was going to be super cute with such a photogenic mom (Lisa and I have been friends for a few years, so she's had plenty of time in front of my camera.)  Lisa opted to wait for his baby pictures until he could hold his head up and give the camera a good smile (it's always a good idea to have a friend or family member present when photographing babies and young children, so they have a face to recognize and giggle at!)  Anyways, he's incredibly adorable, I know I'll be looking forward to doing this little guy's senior pictures... in 18 years :)

He looks so curious in this one!  And his eyes are so blue.

One of my favorites - such a cute interaction!

On a whim, I pulled this World Market pillow out of my closet... makes a pretty nice prop.

My all time favorite.  He looks so wise here.

He's going to be a soccer stud!

Hey mom, are we done?  Yessss!

Congratulations Matt and Lisa on your adorable new addition!
