We are so blessed to have such amazing couples! Nicole and Tim found us through a past client and we’re so happy to add them to the AKP tribe! #weareallfamilyhere

We stopped at Lafayette Park (I can’t stress how much I truly adore this park!) and ended the night with a little bit of urban style at Malcolm Memorial….another one of my favorite spots to shoot at, especially when you have amazing color in the sky after a grand sunset! Plus, you can’t beat THAT view of the arch. We have been so lucky with this fall weather – golden light, cooler weather and a menagerie of colors in the trees and sky!

We’re super excited for their wedding next April! 🙂

The Clarks’ | Family

Every year we take a couple days to do Fall Mini Sessions for families and friends. This year’s theme: Campfire + Halloween! Each family gets 30 minutes…the kids get to dress up and pose in their costumes AND because there are so many kids, it makes for a day long play-date! Some of these families I only get to see once a year, and others, like the Clark family…I see once a week. 🙂

What’s better than a campfire and marshmellows?? Family! #glamping

Myla was the Eiffel Tower, Everett was a French Painter and Faith…a sassy French poodle! #halloween2016

ROAR! Welcome, Baby Reid! Your mom and dad are so happy you’re here!

Reid is super cute! His jungle themed room is perfect…and seriously, that lion print?! So awesome. Mom and Dad got married abroad, but we shot their little ceremony with family and friends here in St. Charles last April. The anticipation of meeting baby was so crazy because Joannah had contacted me months in advance! So when the time came, I was so excited to finally meet this bundle of joy.

Lindsey & Mike | Engaged

Mike and I went to highschool together! Lindsey and I met once they decided I was the perfect photographer for them. 🙂

We got hit with a very rainy day, but it held up just long enough to get a quick session in. We hit up Lafayette Park, it was rather dark, but we got some awesome moody shots because of it. The sky opened up with this gorgeous sunset (as it usually does in St. Louis) after a good downpour, and we made it over across the river to grab the city skyline. Images like these make me love my home city more and more every time I shoot it. #cardinalnation

They’ve planned a spring wedding next March and we cannot wait to be surrounded by mutual longtime friends and capture their nuptials!!
