When I met this super cool couple I knew I HAD to have their wedding!!! If they had said no I probably would have had a two year old melt down, grabbed his leg kicking and screaming. But luckily that didn’t have to happen!! Shew… I would imagine that would have been down right ugly. 
I got to meet up with them this weekend, they came all the way from some ;o) Army base in Missouri… they played it like it was no big deal, well anytime someone takes a day to drive all the way to see me, get back in the car and go all the way back… I am going to make a big deal out of it. Thanks guys!! You two ROCK my socks and I am soooo looking forward to your Rockabilly wedding coming up in November!! Enjoy your sneak peek!!

It was such an honor to be able to photograph fellow photographer Amy and her family. Amy has her business in O’Fallon as well and I won’t lie and say I wasn’t nervous. It’s always cool when photographers decide to step out from behind the camera. I need to do this myself more often. Photographing for photographers…. it’s a huge compliment and it’s also like you are getting ready for an assignment that is going to be critiqued and graded. lol But when I met up with her and her beautiful family all nerves were gone. Well after the first 15 minutes at least. lol This is such a great little family!! Miss H was adorable and funny. She was a blast, and so well spoken for 6. I had to stop a few times and remember she’s only 6. I wonder if it’s a 1st born thing. My oldest always talked, and still does, like a little adult. And that darling Master H…. oh my goodness. He’s a cutie, and one busy boy. They sure do have their hands full with this little guy. But when’s he’s being ornery, he sure is cute. Thanks guys, I had fun!! And I hope you all enjoyed a delicious meal at Mama Gusta’s. And next time, I think 1/2 scoop from Dr. Jazz would be good. Here is your sneak peek!!

oo49 hours.
I saw God.
I got the call around 6:30 pm. I had just dropped off the Logster for a sleepover with Auntie and Mamaw. Jax was spending the night with a friend and Aar was looking forward to spending some time with Andy and the mommy. I knew it was the day. Traci had started labor early in the afternoon. I was packed and ready to go. So I called Aar told him she called and I was headed to the hospital. He said good luck, you’ll be fine. I was a bit nervous and had been asking him a million questions the past few days. You would think I’d never done this before. lol I’ve done it 3 times but from the other end. Being an onlooker is a whole new ballgame. Traci was amazing! Everyone joked that she was going to laugh the baby out. I cannot believe how upbeat she was. Honestly, words cannot express this moment. It was amazing and humbling. It is such a personal moment that I will forever be grateful to share with Traci and Paul. Paul was amazing!! What a great daddy this fella is. I love the conversation before baby came in to the world… it was a conversation that started about names, and then went to how she’s going to be a princess ( I said this lol) and they both said oh NO NO NO. But once she came in to the world and I watched daddy set his eyes on his little girl I knew instantly that another Daddy’s Princess had been born. The look of pride and love on his face spoke volumes. And I don’t care what they say, I’ll just sneak her away and put her in frilly dresses and ribbons and bows.

Thank you Traci and Paul for allowing me to be there with you. Capturing this moment for you was such an honor and one of the best jobs I have ever gotten to do. My love for you guys is endless and I am so very proud of you mama! You did good!!
I am working on something pretty cool for Traci girl, so just a few pictures will have to do for now. Stay tuned for what is in store!!
Please welcome Miss Sydney Kaye.
