As a family photographer in Washington, MO, I always welcome pets to be included into family pictures. A photo session with the family pet is always a good idea! Happiness is a warm puppy and a grassy field in the soft light at the end of a summer’s day. I have been photographing this family […]

Lots of Happy Mommas at our First-Ever Baby Love Event! This year, we decided to throw a mini Baby Shower at our studio for some really special women, and I never thought we would have such an amazing turnout!  Our Baby Love Event will likely become an annual “shower” at the studio because it was […]

Snow, a beautiful couple and a big gray dog! A snowy engagement session is always a good idea but it can be hard to schedule.  It depends on the amount of snow and if you can prepare for a last-minute shoot!  I received a text from Whitney after our “big” snow last week, asking me […]

I love the sitter session, which is the middle session for my Baby Plan clients.  This is the fun age where baby is able to sit independently, play and laugh!  Maddy was such a friendly little baby! I loved the clean backgrounds with her dark hair and big smile!  I know mom and dad are […]

Newborn Twin Boys in the Studio!  Double the sweetness and double the fun! It’s so exciting to hear from my former brides and grooms when they have their first baby.  In this case, I heard it was TWO!  Newborn twin boys… so tiny, a healthy delivery, and happy parents!  We had a great twin, newborn […]

Our sweet baby, Jordan, turned ONE a couple of weeks ago!  Since this guy can light up a room with his big blue eyes and open-mouth-smile, a New Year’s Cake Smash and birthday party theme fit him well! I had so much fun designing this cake smash set and picking Jordan’s cute little outfit!  I […]

Nate did a fantastic job during his senior portrait session on the Washington Riverfront and at Borgia High School!  Many guys aren’t a fan of the whole process but he didn’t mind a bit, even enduring wardrobe changes.  What a sport!  And speaking of sports….how about Borgia football making it to the District Championship!  It […]

Emily and Matt had a beautiful wedding at The Vineyard at Riverbend Chapel, one of our favorite venues!  There were so many special and subtle moments throughout the day between these two. This ceremony was actually a vow renewal from their one-year-anniversary, as Matt serves in the military. Although this wedding was held back in […]

Our Extended Family Session is a way for the whole bunch to come together and have every combination of poses that you can think of!  This includes the whole group, grandchildren, each individual family, and the list goes on and on!  This is a way for everyone to update their family photos at the same […]

(Mother Nature, if you’re reading this, please don’t turn this into a jinx.) The morning of Kelsey and Nathan’s wedding day, I woke up to dark skies and rain – oh, and my husband reminding me that he’s been telling people that I “have never had rain on a wedding day.”  There – it’s out in […]

Sweet little Paxton was the best model baby!  He slept the whole time and has the prettiest new skin!  He’s already a big St. Louis Cardinal fan – he smiled when we put the hat on him!  And, what baby is just ok with laying in baseballs?!  Congrats to this new family!

This sweet girl was so happy for her first birthday pictures yesterday!  She is the flower girl in a wedding we are shooting tomorrow, so hopefully she still has some smiles left!  Her session included pictures in mommy’s silver wedding shoes and her mommy’s sequins dance tutu, from when she was little!  I love how […]
