Baby Berry’s Nursery!

admin — Wed, 15 May 2013 02:54:59 +0000

Wow…it’s been almost 5 MONTHS since I blogged. As all of my clients and friends know, I am having a baby. And this baby is arriving, very, VERY soon! In fact, she’s due 2 weeks from today! We are beyond excited. My focus has definitely shifted at this time away from photography and onto BABY, BABY, BABY. Don’t worry…I plan on resuming shooting this fall with family sessions and even a few weddings.

While I’ve been spending a lot of time getting ready emotionally for the arrival of our little girl, I also put a lot of effort into her headquarters :) I had SO much fun decorating her nursery, pinning idea after idea until I had a concrete vision of what I wanted. It all came together even better than I hoped, especially with the help of my hubby, who is amazing at implementing my ideas, and my friend Megan, who once again blew me away with her domestic abilities (she made my crib bedding!)

I hope you enjoy checking out our creation…and hopefully in a few weeks I will have photos to share of our little bundle of joy!

Meredith + Elliot: Married!

The following wedding was my last wedding of 2012, and will be my last wedding for a while as I’m having a baby in May! I think Meredith and Elliot’s wedding was the perfect way to end the 2012 season! The details were stunning, and the couple and their families were beyond accommodating (i.e. making sure me and my growing tummy stayed fed all day!) Meredith was an absolutely gorgeous bride, and the love between she and Elliot was evident during all the events of the day. Please enjoy viewing this last wedding of the year!

Carrie + Jason: Married!

Carrie and Jason were married Thanksgiving weekend in New Town, St. Charles. Such a fun little area to take photos, and I love the neutral church that’s like a blank canvas. It was pretty chilly so we made our rounds quickly and then it was off to the ceremony! Carrie + Jason and an incredibly sweet couple and their day was totally focused on becoming a family and their love for each other. Enjoy!

Featured in The Knot!

Look for The Knot Missouri & Kansas issue out on your local news stands now! Kate + Kyle were lucky enough to have their beautiful wedding featured, which was also my first time being published in this magazine! It’s so fun seeing your work in a publication!

Holst Family!

admin — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 17:00:29 +0000

I feel miraculously caught up for this time of year, but a former client let me know yesterday that my blog has been suffering from a lack of posts! (Thanks Marcy!) I have lots of good stuff to show you, and still have 2 weddings to shoot over the next two weekends. Should keep everyone entertained through the holidays :)

I met the Holst family a while back at Laumeier Sculpture Park. Joe and Sarah are photographers in the area and of course it’s always nerve-wracking when another photographer chooses you to capture their family photos. Their boys were totally cute and remarkably well-behaved for 3 kiddos under 5 :) We had lots of fun exploring the park together! Enjoy!

Amanda + Bennett: Married! {Studio Inn at St. Albans Wedding}

admin — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 00:14:06 +0000

Amanda and Bennett were married on October 13, 2012, at the gorgeous Studio Inn at St. Albans. I was pumped for some fall color, and this setting definitely delivered! These two have been together since high school, and currently live in NYC! They put a lot of thought into the rustic details of this wedding! The custom treat table was an extra special surprise for their guests-(best carmel apple I ever remember eating!!) I hope these photos were able to capture the all the lovely touches and and emotions of the day :)

Leah + Josh: Married {St. Louis Botanical Gardens Wedding}

There aren’t enough wonderful things you can say about Leah. Her smile grabs you the moment you walk in the room. When I commented on how happy she is, one of her best friends told me “She’s always that way!” I can only imagine that this was the first thing Josh noticed about her when they met that night at Milo’s on the Hill. I was looking forward to this wedding not only for the fact that I knew Leah would be the giddiest bride on the planet, but also because we have a lot in common! Griff and I met in a bar, Leah and Josh met in a bar. Griff and I love craft beer, and Josh BREWS craft beer! We had outdoor weddings in September (Griff and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary!) Anyway, I’d like to thank Leah and Josh and their families and bridal party for such a lovely day. Thanks to Nicole and Michelle for your assistance!

Please enjoy this day full of happiness…

LeighAnn + Austin: Married in Denver!

admin — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 03:16:38 +0000

Over Labor Day weekend I shot my second destination wedding of the year…this time in the Mile High City! LeighAnn is the younger sister of my best friend of TWENTY YEARS, Heather. I was so pumped to have the opportunity to capture the wedding day events while catching up with folks from my past. For several years I tagged along on family vacations with these guys, and the fact that they put up with me during my adolescent years must say something about their character :) And poor LeighAnn, I’m sure we we tortured her and the rest of the Kramer siblings. It was crazy to see everyone all grown up, and LeighAnn made one GORGEOUS bride. Thank you so much for having us along for your big day! Look for moi somewhere in the post below :)

Schmidt Family: On the Farm!

admin — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 03:31:15 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing the Schmidt family earlier this summer. They wanted to capture some fun photos of the whole family while they were all in town at the same time (part of their family lives in Australia!) We journeyed to some fun property out in Defiance for the session (love shooting somewhere different!) and the family was styled just perfectly for the occasion! Take note if you’re looking for ideas on how to style your family for your upcoming fall session!

Ann + Justin + Baby Girl

Ann and Justin are expecting their baby girl sometime in September, and I just know they will be the cutest parents. I was lucky enough to shoot their wedding, and they are two of the cuddliest people I know! Here are a few from their maternity session!

I had some fun adding some dramatic darkness to this last one :)
