Tender Portraits: Summertime is…

…relaxing at the lake.

…discovering toads, and listening to his endless giggles with his discovery.
…hot, sweltering days racing down our slide.
…our son’s blonde hair, bleached out even more by the sun.
…barefeet…all.day.long.
…our girl…growing up.  You make mama so proud, sweet child of mine.

We met Sister Irene at the Auguste Rodin museum in Paris, home of “The...

Tender Portraits Photography: Rain is good luck ~ St. Joseph MO Wedding Photographer

The day started out rainy…okay, that’s an understatement…it was stormy.  I’ve since heard the winds reached up to 64 mph, and probably more, as trees could be seen uprooted along the ground.  However, even with the winds and the rain that came in the early part of the day, Elizabeth and Brandon both were radiant...
