Playing in the leaves in the fall is an absolute must for this little man. He begs until we rake the leaves, piles them high, and jump in them together. He even helps rake, so it’s a win for us too! The light this evening was absolutely stunning. The fall colors illuminate the yard around […]

It was such a pleasure getting to know this couple. Two of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. Clearly made for each other, these two kind hearts made each other smile constantly. We actually did this engagement session the evening before their Wedding. Such a fun way to spend the big night before, relaxing and loving on each other before the big day. Eric and Kate were obviously not nervous at all, we just walked around Soulard snapping photos before heading over to their Rehearsal at The 9th Street Abbey.
