Tom, Robin, and Grace's Family Session

Robin and I became friends through taking our daughters, Grace and Jadyn, to My Gym on Thursdays. (My Gym is an amazing place because the moms and kids get to socialize; plus the kids also get a workout. I especially recommend this gym when it is too hot or cold to go outside and when you have a 6 week old and just need to get out of the house. *Wink*.)

Tom, Robin, and Grace's family portraits took place in and around their home. They were wonderful to work with. And it was so neat working with a family in their home; it was very natural and intimate session!

Here are some of my favorite shots:

Blowing kisses...

I love their expressions here.

We tried getting a lot of pictures of just Robin and Grace because moms are normally the ones taking the pictures, so we are rarely in them...we were making up for those times.

I know that capturing a smile is the goal when taking photos, but sometimes it is great just to capture a child's real expressions and true feelings...

Here is my favorite family portrait.

Dad and Grace

How big is Grace?...so big!!!

Tom and Robin

Back inside, Grace finds my camera very interesting!

The end! (For more photos from this session...go to Kristen M Photography on Facebook.)

I love this FAMILY!

This family ROCKS! I loved them all! They are very energetic and just some of the sweetest people. We had scheduled the shoot to be in the beautiful outdoors, but it was FREEZING COLD; so we improvised and did almost the entire session inside Aunt Gwen's house. This session was a ton of fun! Here are some of my person favorites:

The girls...how sweet!

This is one of my top three favorite photos from this shoot.

Grandpa: This is the spunkiest man I think I have ever meet.

Aunt Gwen with all her nieces and nephews in the background.

Ashley is one of my best friends, here she is with her hubby Kyle, I love Kyle, too. She is due in August with their first child.

This little guy was sooo cute.

This is Bryan and his mom. Bryan is going to be going to Iraq here in the next month or two. Please be keeping him and his family in your prayers!

What a sweet family.

Mary Jo with all her "kids."

Mileah's Family Session

Mileah is my sister-in-law's sister...so we are basically related (*Smile*). She lives in Mississippi and when she came to STL last, we did a family session with her boyfriend, Adam, her son, Alex, and her daughter, Ava. I love this family and loved my photography session with them. They are just a great group of people! (Not to mention, they are all beautiful people!)

This is my favorite shot of Alex...look at his eyes.

Mileah getting Ava to come down the slide.

Getting a "perfect" family photo with small kids can be hard...but when asked to make funny faces, they do EXACTLY what they are told...lol.

The non-silly face family photo.

The Mueller Family Portraits

Sunday was not just a day to photograph Annie and Baby Mueller, it was also a day to take some family pictures. So Joe and Mara also joined us for the shoot. Joe had so many great photography ideas and Annie & Mara shined in all the pictures. Enjoy the second part of my Sunday photoshoot. (You will also see why I split this entry into two sections; there were just so many great photos.)

Jadyn and Grandma Portraits

On Saturday, Jadyn, my mom, and I headed off to get some grandma/grandchild portraits. I know I am biased, but I really think they took some great shots. Can't you just feel how much my mom loves Jadyn? Well, here are some of my personal favorites:

P.S. Notice our prop was a horse because my mom LOVES horses! She actually has a live one....go figure though, I will not let Jadyn ride him for a while. So as for now, she can ride on this little rocking horse whenever she wants.












I LOVE this picture of Jadyn...she was pucking up her lips and her eyes just pop!


Jadyn was getting quite tired and needed her pacifier, but Nana D could have taken pictures all day with Jadyn.
