Save the Dates and More.

This post is a little delayed, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise package anyone was set to receive in their mailboxes by posting too early. Then I had a baby...so, needless to say, better late than never! Here are the engagement photos of one of my favorite colleagues and her fiance, along with some adorable Save the Dates. The design was a joint effort, but the homemade caramels were all Megan and Tom!

By the way, there were originally five caramels in the box, but I couldn't resist eating a couple before I shot these photos. Oops!

Baby Miles

For some reason, f.e.b. images has a long history of photographing baby girls.  But I can't tell you how much fun I had with Miles and his mom earlier this year!  He was adorable both awake and asleep, and they have a great picture window in their new home which let in tons of beautiful natural light.  I can't wait to see how he's grown at his next session!

Sarah and Chris' Wedding Album

This summer, I photographed a beautiful wedding at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.  Sarah and Chris are a fun couple, and even though it was a brutally hot day, they stuck it out to get some great shots. Thanks to their friends and family too! Over the last few months, we've gone through the photo selection and design process, and just the other day, their beautiful album arrived!  Here are a few of my favorite layouts:

I'm back with one of my favorite products!

So during those busy fall months of family photos, wrapping up summer weddings and my own personal hectic schedule, I have a tendancy to neglect the blog.  f.e.b. images' facebook page, however, is up-to-date with lots of fun, fall, family photos.  However, I wanted to share a recent sample of one of my favorite products.  It's not something I sell individually, but if you've received one in the mail, I hope it was a pleasant surprise! 

When a client orders a family portrait session or their wedding images on CD, they receive them in one of these custom cases with a few of my personal favorites from their session/event.  Here's a glimpse of a case from one of this summer's weddings:

I took this late at night, right before I popped it into a shipping envelope, so the lighting is not perfect, but I just loved the way this one turned out and wanted to share.  I added the little hints of green to match Aimee's bridesmaid dresses, and the photos are from one of those brutally hot days in July (which seems nice right about now)! 

Stay tuned for more (regularly scheduled) posts!

Pink Summer!

It was a pink summer!  In other words, there were lots of sessions with little girls and their families.  Here's a glimpse at just a few.  Aren't they adorable?   

Sophia's nine month shoot:


Here's Kate at just two months!


Six month old Allie:


It was lots of fun photographing these sweet ladies and their families.  I'm already well into the whirlwind of fall sessions, but it's fun looking back at these summer sessions!

Aimee and David

Aimee and David met at SLU (where Aimee now works), and earlier this summer, they got married at the beautiful College Church.

They are a gorgeous couple, and their wedding party was really good about outdoor pictures in the heat! 

Probably because they knew they were headed to Humphreys for some food, drink, and air conditioning. They rented the side room for their wedding party, and everyone had a chance to relax and have fun.  
Then it was on to the beautiful Soulard Preservation Hall.  The reception was stunning, and Aimee and David's families hosted a great celebration. 

And, seriously, Galaxy (the band) was so good, I didn't want to leave! 

Aimee and David's vendors helped make the happy couple's day a success.  Here they are:
