expecting | an indoor maternity portrait: december 2013

We already know the answer to this simple question, but we'll ask it anyway: Is there anything more beautiful than an expectant mother?

It might seem we've been on a posting hiatus of sorts – but it's really only because we've been sharing images on our Instagram of late instead. But these photos of Baby L were just too darn cute for the Instagram square!

A simple, one-light, indoor setup was the perfect choice for Jenna, an account coordinator at CommonGround PR in Chesterfield, Mo.

Ahhh Baby Nick... We've waited a long time for you to show your cute face. Making your debut this week at a mere 41 (!!) weeks, on 7-23-12, at 8 lbs. 8 oz and 22 inches. You are the sweetest thing, especially rockin' the authentic firefighter duds (a fitting tribute to your Grandpa Turner!)... Nice work Spencer and Susan!

oh, my(lie)

She's back and possibly more beautiful and adorable than ever! Mylie's curly hair caught us by surprise on Saturday, and her eyes and smile won us over. What a cute kid, dontchathink?

My, how you've grown!

the grand finale

It's been a wonderful year for us, no question. We've learned a lot. We've shot a lot. We've shared a lot. And so, 2010 comes to a close with one last post from two separate shoots.

These seven images were taken recently, all shot indoors (yes! it can be done -- just find enough light and enough space; a wide-aperture lens will help immensely.), and are sort of a flash-forward in time from a year ago when we met this beautiful girl and this charming lad!

For the sake of discussion, in most of these, we were able to create enough light using flashes to close down the lens to f/4 or f/6 -- except in one, where we shot "wide open." Can you tell which one?

The Missouri River Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints just keeps on growing, this time thanks to our neighbors (well, sort of) Trent and Daniele. Congrats on the new addition!
