Wedding: Anne + Lee

 

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving with ones you love!

I am excited to show you another Wedding I had the honor to photograph on October 15, 2016! Anne and Lee were so great to work with-they were so much fun and there was never a dull moment on their day, especially during their reception! Dance moves were on point! They got married at the Missouri Bluffs Golf Club in the Saint Charles, MO area, which has beautiful scenery for photos!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I wanted to share that I am so thankful for all the support and encouragement that I receive from all of you! You guys are the best! I can’t believe 2016 is almost over!

Enjoy more photos from their Wedding and have a good day!

sincerely,
Jenny

Wedding: Lisa + Chris

Hello everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the fall weather that is finally coming our way!

I have never been good at blogging-writing has not been something I consider myself good at. Luckily for me, most of these blogs are filled with pictures, so I only have to write a little bit 😉

I traveled to Denver, CO for my cousin Lisa’s Wedding in August and it was a great trip! It is always good to see her and the family and the whole day was beautiful! Lisa and Chris got married at the Lionsgate Event Center in Lafayette, CO. Lisa got a great guy and I am so happy for them! I wish you both the very best and I hope you enjoy!

sincerely,
Jenny

 

Wedding: Erin + Gabriel

Hello everyone!

Today I will be sharing more photos from Erin and Gabe’s Wedding! They got married on September 27, 2015 at The Lalumondiere Mill and Rivergardens in House Springs, MO! (www.thelalumondiere.com)

I was so excited to photograph for them because they are not a traditional couple, and that makes things fresh and inspiring for me! Trust me, I love traditional but I love different as well!

Their day turned out amazing and I am excited to get them their images just in time for Thanksgiving! I am very thankful to be able to photograph for all of my clients and get the chance to be a part of their special day!

Featured in this blog is a friend and photographer Abby Gillardi (www.agillardiphoto.com) She is so talented and was a pleasure to work with!

I created a slideshow of both of our work-enjoy!

sincerely,
Jenny

Wedding: Gracia + Ben

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing photos from Gracia and Ben’s Wedding on August 15, 2015!

Gracia knew of me when we went to college together at UMSL and found my work online, so I guess I can say the cliché phrase “it is a small world.” I knew from the start that I was going to enjoy working with her and Ben! The Wedding day turned out lovely, thanks to Victoria Burrows, owner of A Bride’s Ally! It was great working with her, so contact her if you need a Wedding Planner for your big day! http://abridesally.com/

Also, a big thanks to Rebecca Haas from Haas Studios (http://www.haasstudios.com/) for being my second photographer and capturing photographs of the guys getting dolled up and during the ceremony! Some of her work is featured in this gallery as well!

I hope you enjoy!

Sincerely,
Jenny

Wedding: Kyle + Tricia

Hello everyone!

It has been a long while since I have posted a blog, and I have no good excuses really. I work for someone else as well as myself, and that takes up a good amount of my time, so by the time I get home, the couch calls my name. BOO! BUT, I did not have to work on the holiday so I am excited to be able to show you photos from Kyle and Tricia’s Wedding!

Kyle and I share the same biological Father, so while his side of the family found me 5 or so years ago, he was found as well. He got married to Tricia 10 years ago, and have two beautiful children. I am honored to be able to be a part of their lives now. Tricia asked me to photograph their vow renewal and I was so happy to be there and support them!

Enjoy and have a good Labor Day!

Sincerely,
Jenny

Wedding: Laura and Alonso

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my photo blog!

I was so happy with the photographs I took for Laura and Alonso at their Wedding! They got married on July 27, 2013 at St. Francis Xavier, and their reception took place at Windows Of Washington. Both very beautiful places! We shot their portraits at Forest Park near The Muny.

They are such a sweet couple! They were a joy to be around and I am so happy for them. Have a great future ahead in Peru!

Thank you so much and here are images from their special day!

sincerely,

Jenny

Anna: 3 Years Old

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to my blog. Today you get to see more photos featuring the ADORABLE Anna, and a couple with her beautiful Mom Tara!

For those who have followed me for awhile, you may have seen these two before. I have known Tara for years because her Dad dated my Mom for a long time, so their family became mine because of time. I love them and I consider them blood. Every time Tara asks me to take pictures of Anna I get so excited because I love to spend time with them! Anna and I are besties too! She calls me “Pretzel stick Jenny” because last Christmas Eve, I was drumming them on the table and I guess it just stuck with her!

I just got engaged in May, and she was the first person I thought of when thinking about the flower girl role. I am so excited to have her be a part of my Wedding Day!

Thanks for reading and enjoy the pictures!

sincerely,
Jenny

p.s. After the session, I was on the way home and Tara texted me something similar to this:

“I wish Jenny and Josh didn’t have to leave. I want to have another photo shoot with them so I can see them again.”

LOVE! She is just growing up so fast!

Newborn: Dylan

Hello once again!

I know, I have been slacking on the blogs. I am not good at keeping up with this realm of my business. So to make up a little bit, here are some photos from a recent session with Dylan and his family!

Vika and Jeremy asked me to photograph their newest addition to their family and I was excited because I always love to shoot for them! We decided to shoot at their home because I feel that just having a baby is a very vulnerable time for them, so keeping that within their home makes the images beautiful and very personal to me 🙂

Enjoy the photos and as always,

sincerely,
Jenny

Maternity: Vika

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing Vika’s maternity session!

I’ll be honest with you. This was the first time I went location scouting for a shoot. I went driving around hoping to find the country look Vika wanted. When I saw this location (about 15 minutes away from both our houses) my eyes widened and my jaw dropped in awe!

Vika loved a picture I sent her of the place, so it was decided!

They met me a half hour before we were supposed to because mother nature was not being nice that day. There was a chance of rain, so it was cloudy, then some sun, then a couple raindrops, so we couldn’t take any chances by waiting!

Vika, her husband Jeremy and their daughter Ashton are simply awesome! They are so open to my ideas and when they have ideas that opens up to more ideas! Ashton usually smiled on command so that helped a ton! 🙂

What a great team we make!

I am so proud of this shoot and am so happy for them adding another member to their family! They will be having a baby boy in May and I can’t wait to meet him!

Oh, by the way, you know how I said it was my first time scouting for a location? Well…this is a little embarrassing, but it was also my first time getting kicked out of one! The location was actually owned, and a neighbor came by and kindly said the owner doesn’t allow people to go there because people have done damage to the property. So unfortunate because it is such a beautiful place! The gentleman was SO nice about it though so I thank him for that! *whew*

We were pretty much done with the session by then. Here is what we got!

What a beautiful family! Thank you for letting me take pictures for you once again!

sincerely,
Jenny

Engagement: Sarah + Ilya

Hello everyone!

I have really fallen behind on blog posts, but I just got time to feature Sarah and Ilya’s Engagement Session!

I met Sarah at UMSL. I worked for their newspaper as a Photographer, and we have done a section called the “Student Profile” where the Editor would pick a student who stands out at the school for some reason and we feature them. This time it was Sarah! I got to take pictures of this beautiful girl and that was one of my favorite assignments that I photographed.

It has been a couple years since then, and Sarah has been living in Florida with her fiancee Ilya. They are both so fun and kind, but I never thought I would be the one photographing them to celebrate their Engagement-due to the fact she knows photographers, but she asked me to shoot while she was home for Thanksgiving and I was SO stoked, especially when she told me she had her dress custom made for this shoot! It made me feel so special 🙂

So we shot at Forest Park the day after Thanksgiving, and I thought about how thankful I am for all the support and love I get from my clients, friends and family. I am lucky I get to do what I love which makes others happy, and I could not be more grateful! Thank you all so much.

Happy Holidays!

sincerely,
Jenny
