The Koral Family

Ahhh this family is so awesome! We did a last minute shoot before I headed out of town to Michigan and mom got their outfits picked out and perfectly coordinated in 2 days! She deserves a prize for that in itself. On top of that, we had a severe storm looming over St. Louis the entire day and they totally kept their cool. I had been following the weather and was pretty confident we could make it through the shoot before the storm came. And we did! About two minutes after we ended the shoot and we were in our cars, it started to rain. I love it when things work out so nicely :) Anyways, this family is awesome for so many other reasons than the two I just listed. They are so kind and loving, it really is a privilege to take their pictures. I love the way they interact with each other. I love the way they snuggle up to each other. I love the way they play together. And I really love the way Greta squeezes the heck out of her baby brother to show him how much she loves him. Enjoy this sweet family!  photo kfamblog20_zps07840425.jpg  photo kfamblog19_zps1d868ddb.jpg  photo kfamblog17_zpsfab83040.jpg  photo kfamblog6_zps214e686e.jpg  photo kfamblog16_zpsb60b8aae.jpg  photo kfamblog15_zps7f17c943.jpg  photo kfamblog22_zps1040d66d.jpg  photo kfamblog4_zpse7e7e6c4.jpg  photo kfamblog14_zps4c22e07d.jpg  photo kfamblog7_zps31e89877.jpg  photo kfamblog13_zpsf1e78624.jpg  photo kfamblog2_zps8b5391fa.jpg  photo kfamblog12_zps7466f43b.jpg  photo kfamblog11_zps989c14c9.jpg

Stella: Newborn

Get ready for some baby fever! Stella is one of the prettiest little babies I have ever seen. I kept telling her mom and dad, who already knew, how perfect she was. She was so sweet too. Her cry was more of a whimper and her momma, Sherry, is so good at calming her down. She would basically go silent as soon as Sherry would "shh". It was pretty magical. That is one of my very favorite things about photographing newborns and their parents. There is such a strong bond right from the beginning and that baby knows who his/her parents are. And her furry siblings were in on the special bond too. They would barely leave Stella's side while I was doing her pictures. There is nothing quite like photographing unconditional love :) Enjoy!  photo stellablog26_zpsffa4caf3.jpg  photo stellablog15_zpsf0095f5c.jpg  photo stellablog14_zpsf5dfbdfa.jpg  photo stellablog25_zps949aba12.jpg  photo stellablog13_zps398cd872.jpg  photo stellablog11_zps336081e3.jpg  photo stellablog10_zps61b5081a.jpg  photo stellablog7_zpsad63b489.jpg  photo stellablog6_zps47af916b.jpg  photo stellablog5_zpsd8be44a8.jpg  photo stellablog27_zps4fcbc2be.jpg  photo stellblog2_zps49626d88.jpg  photo stellablog1_zps72cdc473.jpg  photo stellablog23_zpsfe3995b0.jpg  photo stellablog20_zpsccfda05f.jpg  photo stellablog22_zps262da4f6.jpg  photo stellablog18_zps534824a5.jpg
