Steve, Mandy & Family

I have known Steve and Mandy for a long time. They have gone to our church for as long as I can remember. Steve is actually the one who recommended JBU to my husband, Matt. Matt became a graduate a few years later.

It's hard to pick just one individual picture of any of the kids. There is not one member of this family who can take a bad picture!

I used to babysit for their oldest son, Andrew, when he was a baby . He's now a senior in high school. I'm old.

I remember when Daniel sent his mom to the hospital with a false alarm of labor. Daniel is pretty good with a camera himself. I have a feeling he may be able to do the next family pictures. :)

Matthew is a fun little boy. I love his personality.

Emmalie is a natural beauty.

Rebecca is such a cutie.

Thanks for the great time guys! You are a great family!

Allie is One!

Remember little Miss Allie from a couple of sessions? Well, guess what? That little baby is already one!

She was quite the little model. She'd move around and pause for the picture.

This is a completely candid picture. I don't remember what was going on, but I love how Tiffany is watching a daddy love on his Allie.

Happy 1st Birthday, Allie! May you have an incredible year!

Mel & Shawn's Reception

In case you missed my previous post, my sister, Melanie and her husband Shawn got married in June in Jamaica.

They celebrated with their St. Louis friends at a winery a few weeks ago.

How cute is this cake? It was just perfect for the setting.

Their friend was playing the music that night...a bonus!

Poor Mel and Shawn didn't even get to see each other much so we didn't get a lot of couple pictures together. Don't worry- that just means some more pictures to come...
