The Pierce Family {family}

What a beautiful family! The very first picture I take of them on this session turns out perfect! They are naturals in front of the camera. I had fun venturing downtown with them and then heading over to Woodward park. Thank you Matt and Julie for letting me photograph your family! Here are a few of my favorites.

Cody {children}

I can't believe my baby is going to be 3 years old in just a few weeks! These years have gone by so fast. He is sure growing into a handsome young man though! For his 3yr pictures I wanted to take him to the train since he loves trains. But as soon as we got there we discovered that the train was covered in wasps. So we decided to stay as far away as possible and got some quick pictures of him with the train behind him (a safe distance!) and then we ventured into historic downtown Collinsville for a few more. Who would have guessed that my own son would be my toughest client! He was more interested in the things around him then actually looking at me and smiling for the camera! So I did my best and did end up with some cute shots. Although he is giving me the "hurry up mom" look in most of them!

Abuelaileh Family {Family}

This session was done in Historic Downtown Collinsville. The train depot/museum has been a place I have wanted to do a session at for a long time! When Jessica asked me to do their family pictures and she was thinking downtown Collinsville I was so excited! Her children are absolutely adorable! I look forward to working with them again!

Cinocca {Children}

First I must say that I absolutely adore these children! I have known them for quite some time now, and every time I'm around them they make me smile. These pictures were taken at their grandmothers beautiful backyard. I had a lot of fun with this session. Here are a few of my favorite ones.

Benson Family {Infant, Family, Couple}

What a beautiful family! The Benson family was so fun to photograph. They are such sweet people and have the most beautiful little girl!
