The last time I photographed this family, Jenna was just over a year old.  Now she's a little past 2 years - and has the most adorable pigtails!  There was a bit of disagreement between Jenna and her parents about the pigtails (she was not pleased), but I'm glad they persisted.  She looks so cute!  Last time I caught photos of her crawling down the hall - this time she was on her little bike.  Next time who knows what she'll be doing! 

I had the pleasure of photographing Katie and Ryan's wedding back in 2007 (has it really been that long ago?!?)  They are about to move from Kansas City down to Florida, so they were making their last visit to St. Louis to visit family before they head south.  Katie's family took the opportunity to get a family photo taken in Faust Park - getting it in early for the Christmas card this year :)  Best of luck to Katie and Ryan in Florida - and thanks Conrad family for a fun session!

It's amazing how many excellent baby photos you can get in just 30 minutes!  8-week-old Hannah was very well behaved (no crying or anything!) for the first 30 minutes of portraits this morning, and then she started getting just a tad fussy.  To spare Molly and Scott from any upset that may have ensued from pushing her any further, we ended the session there - and I am surprised at how many good images we were able to get!  It was fun to see Molly and Scott again - I photographed their wedding in 2007 - and see the newest addition to their family.  She's a sweetie :)

Sheena participated in my Good Karma Project last month - she had photos taken with her future mother-in-law.  That session was actually intended to be Sheena with her Mom and her future-mom, but Barb fell ill the morning of the session.  So we separated it into two sessions, finally getting Barb's done on Father's Day (even though it was a Mother's Day present!!)  You can tell Sheena and her Mom are very close, and they both love having their photos taken.  See you ladies in September for Sheena and Tim's wedding!

I photographed Sarah and Kevin's wedding last year in August, and I remember at the reception hearing Kevin predict that they were going to come home from their honeymoon pregnant.  About a month or two after the wedding I got an email from Sarah exclaiming that they had, in fact, fulfilled on that prediction while honeymooning in Italy.  And now they have little Noah, who is just one month old!  I love the "Made in Italy" onesie, which apparently Kevin had specially made for their little one.  So fitting :)

I love so many of these photos - thanks guys for thinking of me again, and letting me move around all of the furniture in your house to get good light! 

Last time I photographed Taylor she was far less mobile.  At just over a year old, she has discovered her freedom, and she was definitely on the run during our photo shoot yesterday in Forest Park.  But how can you be mad at someone with such adorable blond curls and big blue eyes?  You can't - you just follow her down the path and get whatever you can!
