Ben and Aubrey {St. Louis, Missouri Wedding Photographer}

When your in the presence of Ben and Aubrey you can just feel their love radiating. A timeless, classic love that forever holds true. When I shoot an engagement session I get a feel for the couple and they get to know me better, which is super important since I will be with them the entire day of their wedding. Well, maybe not the entire day but pretty darn close ;) I am sure they will want a few minutes alone at some point! The bond between photographer and wedding couple starts at the first meeting, then grows stronger at the engagement session, then another wedding meeting...and by the time the wedding gets here you are best buds. I know that I will always be best buds with Ben and Aubrey and hopefully their forever photographer! Can you imagine how gorgeous the babies will be if they decide to have children? Love it!

Isn't She Lovely? {St. Louis, MO Newborn Photographer} {Edwardsville, IL Newborn Photographer}

{Sigh} Oh how I love newborns. Their sweet cheeks, smell and cute little butts and feet. They just melt my heart. Little Avery Claire is especially special. First off, I love her parents to death. They are the nicest people on the face of the planet. And her dad is the best chiropractor in the world. Trust me, I know first hand. So if anyone is looking for one, message me :) So, Avery has two big brothers and boy are they full of personality. I can picture next year her running around ruling the roost around their house in a Disney Princess get-up chasing her brothers around with a magic wand and giggling with her cute little feet stomping on the wood floors. There is no better sound to me then the sound of cute little feet stomping :) So who wants to bet she gives her brothers a run for their money? I can't wait to see it!

Enjoy these photos of this sweet princess! ~Amanda~
















Two little monkeys jumping on the bed! Thank God no one fell off! LOL!





I think this is my new favorite basket! It has a chalkboard oval on the front. Too cool!








And she smiles :)

All you need is LOVE... {Edwardsville, Illinois Photographer}

and a great book to cuddle up with. Little man Parker loves books. When I was invited into his home and saw cute little Parker sitting in his high chair, eating his little peaches and Cheerios, I knew this was going to be a great shoot. His mommy warned me that his room was full of books and he had them spread out all over. What a wonderful thing! I was super excited to photograph him reading his books. When I walked into one of the most beautiful nurseries I have ever seen I was super excited. I hope you enjoy Parker with his favorite book, truck and stuffed animals. He is a little doll!











Cutest pic ever!!!!









His favorite truck :)

Sweet Family Love {St. Louis, Missouri Family Photographer}

Karin, thank you so much for referring me this amazing family :) You rock! And M Family, thank you so much for allowing me to shoot your beautiful family. Your kids are just amazing little blessings and I enjoyed every minute of our time together. I had very big shoes to fill photographing your family after you have had Karin do it. I hope I captured your family and two beautiful children exactly how you wanted and more.

AND GAVIN AND SCARLETT! Oh my goodness. Can you say models? I cannot get over the beauty of children. They are all just amazing.

Please enjoy these photos :) I feel they are special, timeless and overflowing with joy! ~Amanda~










It was so funny because Scarlett would not get off the chair. I think she may need one for her 2nd birthday :)













When Dan and Lynda had a wedding photo taking on this very wall. Now 7 years later they are sharing a kiss and spending the moment with their two children. Life is wonderful!
