Class of 2012 seniors pictures are in full swing.  I apologize that I haven’t been posting here on the blog as much as I’d like.  We’ve been super busy (but I have been posting on Facebook quite a bit – feel free to see more of our senior photos on Facebook by clicking here. We […]

We just shot our first full 2012 senior session the other day (we’ve been shooting a lot of 2012 models over the past few months, but this is the first full-on session of the season).  I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am for all the new things we have in store […]

We had such a great photo shoot yesterday morning. Silas is 7 days old, and he just slept like a . . . well . . . like a baby.   He made my job too easy. Here are a few from Silas’ session.  Welcome to the world Silas James Sparks

With mother’s day approaching on May 8th, allow me to remind you of two facts about mothers (in case you didn’t already know): FACT #1 – Moms love their families more than anything else.  More than pedicures, massages and even flowers.

She’s going places.  Click here to check out Maggie’s music page on facebook. Maggie brought […]

Well, not exactly.  But doesn’t this girl look just like her?  This is Kayla Kuehn from Ste. Genevieve High School and she came in to our studio for a session yesterday.  I think the resemblance is uncanny.  I told her she could win a look-a-like competition.  She said she gets that a lot.

Zoe is 9-months old now and she’s ready to start walking any day. She loves to push things around (boxes, clothing baskets, etc.), and today, apparently, Zane’s car needed a rolling jump. So Zoe was there to help out. Enjoy this quick little video from today.
