Congratulations, Class of 2012! I have enjoyed this year of photography so much because of you! Seniors are my passion when it comes to shooting and each of you have been so much fun getting to know! You all hold a wonderful future and I wish you all the best in the world. Enjoy every minute of college, you are in for a beautiful ride!
Emily is crazy talented in music and just so beautiful inside and out. I enjoyed this session so much and after she pulled out her guitar I taped her singing at the end of her session. I recorded the video just for fun and I am in no way claiming that this video is professional or anything…it was just fun to do!
I secretly have always wanted to sing and play the guitar but God just didn’t bless me that way! I am one of those people who can hear a song or someone’s voice and name the artist right away. I am always listening to music and I normally know all the artists before they get famous. I pride myself on that! Ha.
So, back to Emily and how she is so musically talented. I love that she is chasing her true passion in music. Emily will soon be living in Nashville and attending Belmont for songwriting. Ah, love creative people! Emily, I can’t wait to follow you and all of your adventures in the future! I’m in love with your session…

How fun is this idea? I’ve seen things like this, like “bride”, “groom”, “I do”, but never a save the date idea on the bottom of shoes. I love it! I was saving this post until Stephanie and Bob had their Save the Dates out (and opened!) before I shared here! I can’t wait for this wedding!

Here is Katy from Kennedy High School. My first Kennedy High School senior this year. Kennedy High School seniors…where are you 2012 class?
Katy is really excited about heading to college and with only a few more weeks of High School…summer and college is right around the corner. I love the way Katy’s pictures turned out…she has such a beautiful smile! Honestly, it was hard for me to even put a few in black and white because this girl is just so colorful! I love her images in color because they match her personality. Katy, you are so pretty…it is hard for me to pick my favorites! Thanks for braving the cold, early morning…you were a trooper! Despite the chilly weather, your senior pictures look like summer! Enjoy!

For my birthday, I wasn’t expecting anything special. After all, my big day was on a Tuesday in April and I was busy with school, photography, teaching, and a billion other things. We had just gone to Chicago the weekend before for Shawn’s brother’s wedding and the weekend of my birthday we were headed to Nashville. I figured the day of my birthday would just kind of, be.
I woke up on my birthday morning to Shawn making me lunch for school and a birthday card. He had told me that we were going to the best rated patio in St. Louis, Vin De Set. He knows how much I love patios. After making it to school, my teammates surprised me with a gift card to go shopping and then ordered out lunch. I walked in a class full of 22 First Graders singing, “Happy Birthday”, and left school with a lots of pictures and cards decorated by students of my past and present.
I came home to walk Scarlett and my mom had brought over a gift for me along with a cheesecake and steaks for Shawn and I cook the following day. Shawn came home and we enjoyed the most gorgeous night on the most beautiful patio that overlooked, St. Louis, my hometown of 27 years. After dinner Shawn and I of course hit up a cute little bar before heading home. I came and sat in front of my computer reading all the Facebook messages from long time family and friends.
A blurry picture of us at Vin de Set.
We celebrated the 27th birthday weekend in Nashville by running our second half marathon with Amy, my best friend from grade school, and her husband. While I did not get the time that I was aiming for, I did bust my butt and those hills and the heat were brutal. I had a really good time running it though, and there is nothing more empowering than doing this.
Shawn and I are SO not photogenic…so what you see is what ya get. I give up trying to take only perfect pictures of us.
I don’t even try pose him anymore…me on the bottom? Ya, that’s me making fun of him and teaching him how to pose. Obviously that isn’t working well for me either! HA! ..this is real life!
I think we will all agree it looks best this way….
What is Nashville without a trip to visit Ernest Tubb? My dad woke me up with Ernest blaring on the radio every single weekend of my life.
Shawn and I are truly American Pickers nerds. Shawn made me wait in this long line to get in to their store in Nashville. Of course, it was his birthday weekend so I waited patiently. Shawn and I might not have cable but we have watched almost every single episode of this show. Thank you, Netflix!
I ended 26 with the thought, “My 27 years of wisdom tells me it just gets better each year…”. How true is that? The first 27 years of my life has been great. I don’t think I will ever be one of those people who is afraid to share their age. Age only makes people a little bit better, right? What do I know though, I’m only 27…
