Tim and Angie had a beautiful wedding back in May 2019, including some of the most gorgeous church formals. The day started at the Main Street Inn in Ste. Genevieve, MO, for getting ready and pictures, of course.

One year ago to the day, on July 4, 2013, I had the privilege of photographing Kimberly and her doggie Ellie Mae while Kimberly was currently going through chemo for breast cancer. One year later, we met again to celebrate the journey that she had completed. Here are some of our favorite shots. The blue and the red outfits both looked amazing in the setting we chose.View the album on Facebook! ......
