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 […]

Ali and Ian’s Romantic Day! We always love shooting a wedding in a new place – it helps spark our creativity as wedding photographers!  So, it was a wonderful surprise when we found out that Ali and Ian were to be the very first wedding at McKelvey Vineyards in Leslie, Missouri.  And let me tell […]

A Concord Hill wedding is special, right from the start.  Add the love of Kelly and Jeremy into the mix and you have a magical day that was an honor to capture for this amazing couple! MEET THE WEDDING TEAM: Cake: Diane Meyer Bridal Gown: Wedding Creations Bridesmaid Attire: Wedding Creations Groom/Groomsmen Attire: Wedding Creations Church: St. Ignatius Reception […]

(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 […]

Amber and Bryan are one of those couples you know just belong together. The way they interact, look at each other, and laugh together made their wedding day so fun for everyone there!   Amber is the only child in her family, so I instantly knew how special the moments would be between Amber and […]

Can you tell engagement season is here?  I had three engagement sessions last week, alone!  I love engagement sessions because they don’t usually require me to play peek-a-boo to get a smile.  We did this couple’s session at Kit’s parent’s home.  It was a beautiful location and the spring morning light looks great on them, […]

Emma and her family had lots of ideas for her senior session!  The fall colors, props, locations, and variety make this session so unique and meaningful!  Thank you for the great session!!!
