ST LOUIS FOREST PARK SUMMER ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY Kristen + Kane | Promised

A beautiful couple, a new location with so many options, and gorgeous light? It made for such a wonderful engagement session!!  I first met Kristen and Kane a couple of years ago when Kane’s parents hired me for an extended family session.  I thought they were so sweet and cute together, and was from then on engaged in their story.  Kristen competes (and often wins!) in Pageants so I have been following along a bit and it is all just so fun to witness from a far!

I was thrilled when they contacted me about wedding photography after getting engaged and truly cannot wait for their wedding!  But I learned a lot about them at their engagement session, and especially a lot about them together!  They are so sweet with each other, laughter flows easily, and they are just comfortable in each others arms.  Even though they were nervous, they weren’t shy about loving on each other in rather public places, and honestly just made it look so easy!  They put me at ease around them, and I am just drawn to people like that!  We had so much fun wandering around the park (and trying to find parking…I pulled some unusual u-turns and they trusted me anyways haha) and I just know their wedding, and even moreso their marriage, is going to be absolutely beautiful.

Meet Kristen and Kane!
I could have photographed in these willows all day long! This was my favorite little spot of the night…and I wish I had a bts shot because there was endless traffic and long lines of parked cars JUST on the other sides of them! I’m proud of myself for making this work– but how beautiful is it?! This light! Kristen and Kane, I LOVED spending more time with you! Full gallery on it’s way to you soon!

You're in the right place!  As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business!  I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).

I'm so glad you are here!  Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business!  I specialize in working with photographers to make their goals a reality (or figure out what their goals should be in the first place!).
