Alex + Jenn: Forest Park Engagement

I am so extremely thankful for clients who are more than willing to meet up for a session based on sunrise and sunset. I'm especially thankful for those who are willing to meet me in the "sunrise" time frame, as it is super early and I'm sure they would much rather be sleeping in on their weekends!

Jenn and Alex met up with me at Forest Park, bright and early, and the morning was absolutely perfect. There weren't many people at the park yet and the temperature had not yet reached 94 degrees, as it did later that day. These two were engaged a year prior to their engagement session, almost to the date!

















Alex and Jenn, thank you both once again for being so flexible and willing to get up and have your pictures taken so early in the morning! :) I am so blessed to be able to work with sweet couples like you! I can't wait for your wedding!

Connor: 6 Months

I don't even know where to begin with this post! I found out I was pregnant shortly after Jessie and Kevin announced they were expecting (Jessie is Adam's cousin). We were due 2 months apart, but Connor decided he wanted to see what the world outside of the womb was all about, so he made his appearance a few weeks early! Having baby boys so close in age we have been hanging out with the Lords a lot! It has been so much fun to see how much they have grown in such a short time. Jessie's family had a trip planned to Florida and they graciously decided to lug me, Adam, and Ethan along so that I could take Connor's 6 month photos on the beach! We had such a blast!

Connor is such a stud! Jessie always has him dressed to the nines and this outfit was no exception!
























"OCO" and Pops can not get enough of baby Connor. And if you are wondering what OCO means? It stands for "Oh Cool One." Seriously, who just goes by "Grandma" anymore??


And to finish up I will leave you with some of my favorites of this gorgeous Mamma and her baby!






Jessie and Kevin, thanks so much for flying us out there! We had a great time with you guys! And thanks Uncle Spooler for (as usual) being a wonderful source of entertainment. I'm so glad we all got to experience the "ambiance" of the beach as a family! I can't wait for more family trips and to watch Connor and Ethan grow up together! We love you guys!
