forget the park: family photos @ home

It's always such a joy to photograph the Tilton crew -- more so when it's actually above 40 degrees, which has hardly ever been the case! And although our favorite locale this year has been Faust Park in Chesterfield, Megan talked us into photos at their O'Fallon home.

Good call, Megan.

Carter's "Grandma Bea" is super talented: she's the artist behind C's Dr. Seuss stocking cap and Micky ears.

... And a whole bunch of other knitted gear donned in Carter's debut session.

the smile says it all

We. Love. Baby Photos. Congrats, Victoria and Adam, proud, new parents of Baby C -- born on Aug. 29 (Ben's birthday!) and photographed today. One of the best perks about newborn photography? Being among the first outside the hospital to see the baby. Never gets old.

Having lots of fun with the whole family in town. Yup, our trip to the Zoo was hot, but the exhibits were great -- especially the new underwater sea lion exhibit.
