Past the Arch Grounds heading east there are gritty train tracks, rusty old buildings and gravel roads not the place little girls dressed up in their Sunday best usually hang out and usually not where a bright red hot rod in mint condition is parked, but the contrast of all the elements together made for a great photo shoot. Here are some highlights of the fun.

There is something truly special about photographing a dear friend since childhood and her family.  You are happy that have a wonderful family and proud of them that they are doing so well.  This is the Watkins Family.

Great to connect as always and a big thank you for having me photograph family.

I am almost certain I have gotten this face each year:)

A little girl’s fun day at the “Castle”… Washington University but not before doing her “chores” at the Missouri Botanical Gardens Children’s Garden.

A fun day for mommy and her little girl.

A super sweet family – The Spencer Family – met us at Tower Grove Park on Thursday for their annual family portrait session.  Despite the heat we received all smiles and had a chance to photograph family fun.

Little Baby Lyon turned 3 months and alongside big brother Ronin Artistic Soup Photography had the touching honor of recording this special and quickly passing moment in time of little baby Lyon’s 3 months of life in a series of photographs that will be taken of this little guy’s first year. With their big sweet eyes, Lyon’s big and blue and Ronin’s big brown eyes…they were just as sweet as could be together as new brothers.
