Dan, Kathy and the boys...

Kathy asked me to take family pictures with the focus being pictures of the boys together. We knew this could be tricky because they know me too well. I'm their Gigi!!  I must say that we totally rocked this session! I don't know how Kathy will pick which ones to hang. We got SO many great shots of the boys. I want to hire Dan as my assistant because he had them laughing the entire time.

This is my favorite shot.

Boys...thanks for doing such a great job for Gigi and for testing out my goody bag! ;)  I love you!

We picked it!

The giant pumpkin is ready! This is the pumpkin we grew in our backyard this summer. Jake brought home one pumpkin seed for Mother's Day, and we stuck it in the ground next to a rose bush in our backyard. The plant went crazy! We had to cut it back a number of times. It had lots of flowers but only grew one pumpkin. That's ok...because the pumpkin it grew is amazing!! Jake's teacher told us to keep turning it. We did, and it's perfect! I wish our area had a contest!

We are saving the seeds for next year, so give me a yell if you want one.

Other big news....Jake scored his first goal in soccer last weekend! Of course, it was the time I didn't bring a camera!! It was a fantastic goal. He moved the ball down the field and took it all the way in for a goal. We were beyond excited!

I just loved how he was sleeping snuggling his dog, Bob. The quilt in the top picture is the one my grandma made for my children. I love that it's become his favorite cozy.

We celebrated Gracie's 10th birthday last weekend. I remember Kate's 10th like it was yesterday. It's a big deal birthday! 

Before Gracie's party, I spent some time at the pumpkin patch with the sweetest family. It was Zachary's first birthday, and the family asked me to join them to take pictures. It was such a welcoming and kind group of family and friends. There were lots of smiles and lots of laughs...very special. Zach is a lucky boy!

Happy Birthday, sweet boy!

Caring & Sharing...

I had the honor of taking pictures of the sweet people at Caring & Sharing Food Pantry. These pictures will be used on their website. They are excited about their new location which will help them better serve the needs of the people in the Wentzville, St. Charles, and surrounding communities. Gigi Wagner Photography will be making a donation. Ask me how you can help this season!

I'm so proud of my Aunt Janie who started this food pantry in her garage. I'm inspired by the work she does every day to help those in need.

I find it absolutely hilarious that the teammates are going after the ball in each shot. This is what happens on the field when 4 year olds play.  (The team name is blacked out for privacy. All products available at DesignerDigitals.com.)

All the Right Accessories...

Mom kept pulling out one cute accessory after another, and I was doing the happy dance on the inside. What a fun shoot! Thanks for bringing sweet Emerson over to my studio to play!
