I first met Hayden and Sophia in St. Louis while photographing Kelly and Thom's wedding but what a small world because they live so close to me in Lenexa.  These two are adorable kids and both loved being in front of the camera.  I think Mandy has a couple models on her hands =)  I'm such a sucker for the puppy dog eyes.  Here are a few favorites.

Where to start with Liz and Kevin...They just might be two of the nicest people in St. Louis with a great family and group of friends.  Kevin originally wanted a chilly Fall November wedding day and Liz apparently would have liked a warmer day.  Liz won.  It was gorgeous and Spring like, if not Summer and sunny all day.  Here are some favorites...



Congratulations Liz and Kevin!
Best wishes,
Heather Gregory

After it rained out our E-Session three times! Lindsey, Trebor and I were finally able to get outside and take some engagement photography.  We used the country which they were so comfortable hiking around in.  I had a great time with these two and here are some favorites!



Looking forward to the wedding next year!

I loved how much time we had for portraits last Saturday with Kelly and Thom.  It was such a well-planned and amazing day that I felt so honored to photograph their wedding.  And look how photogenic they are!  Thanks everyone for a great Saturday.  It was a pleasure to work with you all!



Congratulations Kelly and Thom!
