Great post! I am in tears right now. I think it is a combination of the passion you have for photography and your heart that showed through in your writing that made me feel so touched. Thanks for sharing.

Love the post, Donna!! You were one of the first photographers I met that afternoon & were so sweet & thoughtful. I'm glad the Shot Party brought a lot of the STL photographers together that day. Many new friendships were formed & a lot was learned. It was great meeting you & congrats on adorable Milo!!

Thanks everyone! I know all of us who went to the shot party were motivated to share what they learned that day. I've loved reading everyone's take on the day on their blogs. Thanks for reading mine.

[...] Kutchback Family : Blog All Stars I’m not gonna check my stats but I believe that these folks are the MVP’s of my blog. Aside from my own family, they’ve probably appeared on here the most! (Can you tell by my vocabulary that the Cardinals Game is on in our house??) This is all because my friend (and owner of the salon where I work) Suzie, has trusted me to photograph her, her family, and even some of my co-workers. [...]

Roman’s Birthday Party

Roman had a blast at his birthday party. Usually I am the photographer at a little one’s birthday party but this on particular day I was playing Momma, hostess, and super-secret keeper of baby #2 so I was a little distracted. I tried to capture as many moments as I could. Unfortunately, I missed a...

This was the most adorable moment of the day! Avery got a musical “Little Mermaid” birthday card and loved singing “A Whole New World” along...
