Landon {milestone} + {family} Session

Landon's mama Rachel was my very first session in Columbia and I've absolutely loved watching Landon grow ever since!  He turned one at the beginning of the summer and we had so much fun capturing his busy little personality!  Happy birthday Landon!

Landon {milestone} and {family} Session

I was so happy to get sweet Landon back in my studio after doing his woodland themed newborn session six months ago!  He's such a happy bright-eyed little man!  His mama and daddy brought a cute vintage sled that looked so cute with my holiday set!  I'm loving starting to get my Columbia babies back for new sessions!!

Just look how much Landon has grown in six months!  Can't wait to see you again at a year!!

Rebecca {maternity} Session

I met the beautiful Rebecca and her husband at Shelter Gardens in Columbia, Mo for some lovely maternity photos in the setting sun.  They are expecting a baby girl any day now and I can't wait for her newborn session!

Rachel + Chris {maternity} Session, Columbia Missouri

Rachel and I attended high school together many years ago and as fate would have it we found ourselves both living in Columbia, Missouri this year.  Rachel and her husband Chris were expecting their first child and I was thrilled to be able to capture a few images for them as they awaited the birth of their son!  

Rachel you are beautiful inside and out and I know you will be a fantastic mother!

Erlisha {maternity} Session

We met for a chilly sunrise session just before Erlisha's due date.  We were both shivering, but the light we got was worth every chill!  You are beautiful Erlisha!

And Erlisha's sweet baby made her way earthside in a beautiful homebirth a few days later. =)

Arin {maternity} session

I was so thrilled to photograph the amazing Arin last week.  Arin is a local massage therapist and Yoga instructor and these fun and fearless pictures are a perfect representation of her as she carries her third child.  We found a perfect place overlooking Cathedral Rock and Arin got her Yoga on.  We even had a few hikers stop and comment on how fabulous this Yoga Mama was!

Thanks for sharing your bump and your talent with me Arin!

Gina Maternity

I can't even begin to explain how awesome Gina was to work with!  She hiked easily out to Red Rock Crossing to capture these amazing images.  She was rocking her gorgeous bump in Yoga poses and classic maternity poses as well!  What a powerful mama!

The best part?  I have ANOTHER maternity session with this fabulous mama before her little man enters the world, so there is more awesomeness to come!
