Is it any surprise that fall is our favorite time of year?
And then there's Rachel – and that smile. Gorgeous.

sweet dreams, luchador | newborn images by benandbeccalee

If there was one word we'd use to describe this sweet little guy (with that beautiful head of hair!), there's no question what it would be. Luchador. Such a funny word for such an adorable baby. Luchador. It means fighter. Luchador. It's what and who he's been long before he was born. Luchador. It's exactly what he is now and what he will be – what he'll have to be – to guard himself from his three, adoring big sisters.

Luchador. Fighter. Can't you tell?

rebecca | fort zumwalt west, class of 2015

It's been an unseasonably cool summer in the St. Louis area, which has allowed us to start our outdoor senior portrait sessions much earlier than usual. The temps and sun were absolutely perfect for Rebecca's senior shoot in Old St. Charles under the big pavilion on the riverfront.

To book a 90-min. senior session like Rebecca's, don't wait – email us soon: photos@benandbeccalee.com.

Oh my gosh, what a sweet baby! This little guy fell fast asleep in a familiar position – coiled up in a teeny ball right in his mama's lap.

Look at those little fingers!

flash that smile | nick @ eighteen months

Little Kid Photo Tip #819: When you think a shoot has wrapped, give it at least one more minute. Breathe. Breathe again. Maybe start to pack up. But leave the camera on and the lens cap off. Keep that finger on the shutter ... You never know when the best smiles will come.
