Coree was so excited to have her whole family in town for CeCe’s 1st birthday that she booked her session around their arrival. Smart girl!
What an awesome thing to do! These will surely be photos you will treasure for a lifetime.
Thank you, sweet family, for your laughs and smiles.
I love this family. What a joy to see them all together at this stage. They’re nuts, they’re crazy, and they love each other.
Thanks for letting me capture the crazy, stupid, love. I loved every minute of it.
Sweet little Emma Grace just looks so adorable with her daddy’s hat. 🙂
Enjoy the photos!
I love to tell stories with photos. Weddings and Births are my favorite stories to witness.
Yes, this talented photog couple did their own maternity session. 🙂
Lynsey’s completely natural labor and delivery of Linus was beautiful and moving. She did phenomenally well handling each and every contraction – seriously, Â like superwoman!
Plus, I truly believe that your birthing coach is an integral part in a successful natural birth….and Tommy was beyond amazing! Because of this, their baby was brought into this world with complete partnership, intimacy, and absolute love.
Another favorite aspect of the evening was the incredible love their family and friends had for this couple.  As they each traveled into the room in separate groups to get individual time with Linus (a unique and wonderful idea!), families greeted Lynsey and Tommy with love and respect….and their hearts burst with gentle affection for this new baby boy.
The story would not be complete without their journey home.
Documented by the lovely and talented Cheryl M Photography.
Thank you, Lynsey and Tommy! I felt so incredibly honored to be part of your journey into parenthood.
Lots of love!
Donna

Just a little side note….
As photographers, it can get lonely all day in front of our computer. That’s why we like to get together occasionally for a night out. As you can see, that’s Lynsey in the middle and Cheryl and I are on either side of her, hugging her baby bump. The rest of these lovely ladies are also fantastic photographers and you can find their Facebook pages linked below. I am grateful to know them as well as many other fantastic photographers in this STL area. We are team players with the same goal: to stay busy taking and making fantastic memories for our clients.
This kid. This bow tie. His loving parents. What an awesome session!
We had fun in the grass, on the blanket, and in the water. Summer fun with Jude is SO much fun!
What a fun family!! Great shoot 🙂
