Sue, Jeff, Mandi, Mason & Danica!

Ahhhh, reunions! What fun they can be! Sue dated my older brother in high school (in the 80s, and I thought she was SO cool), everybody grew up, years passed and then Facebook led our paths to cross. And yesterday I photographed her family!! So fun! 

Very first frame! (AYKM? No!)

Kiddos! Danica & Mason were SO fun and funny!!

Those curls (sigh)…

Mason is cool, seriously.

 

Siblings…. .

He tolerated the affection well, what a good big brother.

A new favorite location.

Sue!! Thank you so much for sharing your family with me!! I hope you absolutely love these images! Best! ie

Madison – senior photos!

This afternoon I shot Madison’s senior portraits. We started at Laumeier Sculpture Park and ended in downtown Kirkwood. We hit many of my favorite locations in these two areas. Below are just a few images. I’ll post more this week.

Possibly my favorite. (below) I love the light.

Madison, thanks for being such a great sport and thank you so much for asking me to shoot your portraits! I hope you have an awesome year. We’ll talk soon, Best – ie

Erin & Matt – married! (part 2)

Just a few more images from Erin & Matt’s wedding. 

Just the essentials…

Matt’s first look…

Seriously, how beautiful is St. Francis Xavier? Incredibly beautiful.

Erin & Matt – what a great day! Can’t wait to relive it through the proofs! Travel safe, see you soon! Best, ie

Joseph, Sophia, & Nick

I’ve photographed Joseph, Sophia, & Nick several times and each time I love them just a little bit more. The kids were total troopers during the entire (hot) session. Thanks guys! Mom (Julie) and Dad (Matt) wanted these photos shot with the kids still had their summer glow – smart move, they look so great!

We’ll start with my favorite…

Joe, going into 4th grade this Fall.

Sophia, 3rd grade. 

I love this look.

And Nick, way too sweet.

He’s totally rocking the beach bum look.

Just a few more of all 3.

Thanks for your time guys! Have a great school year! Best, ie

Kelly & Steve – engaged!

What a great couple. Kelly & Steve are getting married in September. We shot early this morning in an attempt to avoid the heat, didn’t really work but still we persevered. And our reward was fabulous photos! (and paninis – thanks guys!) Enjoy these photos!

This was Steve’s one request. He’s always thought this stainless steel tree was cool. And he’s right.

And Kelly’s one request – pictures at the Boathouse. Great choice.

Love it.

Really love it.

Kelly & Steve, thanks so much for your time, I look forward to witnessing your vows! Best, ie

Just two more… I think the fact that they laugh together (a lot) is very telling of their relationship.

Melanie & Tom engaged!

This morning I shot the engagement photos of Melanie & Tom. They’re getting married at the Jewel Box this November – looking forward to it! Enjoy these images.

Love these steps! 

This might be one of my favorites.

LOVE the green with Tom’s hair.

Melanie & Tom, thanks so much for your time, I can’t wait to share in your wedding day. And thanks to mom Judy for taking care of Mogley while we finished the session. And I have to thank my husband (who BTW proposed to me AT the Jewel Box) for taking the kids to the grocery store this AM. I never could’ve gotten these images processed so quickly without his help! Way to take one for the team Denny! Best, ie

Erin & Matt married!

What a great night! Erin & Matt got married at St. Francis Xavier College Church this evening. Reception followed at Windows on Washington, such a beautiful night. Here are a few, I’ll post more soon. Congratulations Erin & Matt, the day was beautiful and I wish you nothing but happiness!

I think this is pretty common for Matt… 

The flowers were beautiful. BEAUTIFUL… I’ll get the name of the vendor for a later post.

Erin, stunning, just before going down the aisle

St. Francis Xavier is truly a beautiful church.

Nice moment of Matt & his mom, what a good son.

Newlyweds!!

Then we were off to Windows on Washington, we took a few photos by the fountain and then upstairs for the party.

Ok, no party pictures yet! I’ll post more soon. Promise. Matt & Erin, thank you so much for choosing me! You two are awesome and I wish you the best! Have a great honeymoon, travel safe & I’ll see you when you return! Best, ie
