It was so fun to photograph all these people I love to death!

Hey photographers…can you remember the last time you did a session for a family of EIGHT and got multiple shots with everyone looking perfectly at the camera, smiling??  Yeah, me neither.  But this is a special family, so it figures.  This stunning family is my husband’s uncle’s family, and we love them so much!  We were able to spend time with them during our Christmas break and I was able to do a quick session at their beautiful home in California.

Yeah, NOT supposed to look this great after six kids!

We sure love these cousins!

Major hair envy going on!


Mary helped us take our extended family shot at the beach, and I snapped a few of her and cute cousin M before the sun went down.


We miss you guys already!

Here’s a little sneak peek of the beautiful baby girl I spent some time with on Saturday, baby Ivy.

She was so sleepy and sweet and never even made a peep.  More to come!

My Family | Camarillo California Family Photography

Posted on January 5, 2012

We just got back from a simply wonderful vacation for my husband’s family reunion in Camarillo, CA.  Here’s just one of the whole group…I’m so lucky to be a part of this amazing family!
P.S. In the craziness of setting up 22 other people and then jumping in the shot myself, I didn’t realize Carson wasn’t standing with our little family until I went through to edit these.  Can you tell he worships his older cousins? :)

V Family | St. Louis Family Photographer

Posted on December 31, 2011

The V family was my last session of the year (so it’s fitting I’m posting it on the last DAY of the year – happy new year everyone!).  This session was a dream…it was set up as a surprise for their mother’s birthday.  I arrived to a simply gorgeous family ready to be captured in a simply gorgeous space (Lumen Private Event Space in downtown St. Louis, which Mom owns – CHECK IT OUT!).  I had so much fun capturing this family’s love for each other, which was really apparent.
Recognize little cutie Ayven from her 1-year session last Spring?

The whole crew…told you they’re gorgeous!

Mom with her kiddos.

You can tell this little girl has everyone wrapped around her finger, and for good reason – she’s so sweet and adorable!

Wow, what a gorgeous couple, am I right?!

The ladies…

Mom with her boys.

Dad’s turn.

Love this candid moment!

Fav.

Ayven will be a big sister next year!

And a good one, I think. :)

Thanks again, V family!!

The R family is not only GORGEOUS and fabulously stylish, it’s made up of wonderful people we love.  You may recognize them from their awesome session LAST YEAR.  Here’s this year’s version.  Just as I expected, they rocked it.


Such a gorgeous couple, eh?!

Thanks for watching my kids for my sessions, cute friend!

    Holy cow! Danica…you are putting me to shame right now! This session rocks. The lighting and location AND family are gorgeous. I love the first few family shots and then as I scrolled down I am in LOVE with the 6-8 shots down from the top! LOVE the lighting…love the location. Serious location envy right now :)





G Family Mini | St. Louis Family Photographer

Posted on December 27, 2011

The G family is a close friend of our family – and they added baby Sydney to their crew just about a month after Chelsea was born.  It goes without saying that they are gorgeous (new moms are not supposed to be so put together!), but they are really awesome on the inside too. :)
Baby girl conked out for the session.

Thanks G family…
