Caitlin - Violin in the Wild

The beautiful Caitlin used to be a cute little girl in my Sunday school class in Kansas City and now she's a talented college student at William Woods University.  It was so much fun getting to know her as an adult and we had a grand time blasting Lindsay Stirling, wandering the back roads of Missouri and getting scolded by an older gentleman who thought we were hunting...! 

Thanks Caitlin for being willing to play your violin in a field with a long dress...haha!

Travie {milestone} Session

Its been almost exactly two years since I took Travie's two year old photos on his grandpas farm in Kirksville and this year we met at Fouch's Christmas Tree farm on a chilly November afternoon to take his four year old photos!  He wasn't exactly thrilled at the idea to start with but mama, grandma and I were silly and full of fun bribery and finally got some smiles!

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!!

Valerie {studio} Session

I was at the hospital the day Valerie was born and its hard to believe she is now 18!

Her family was just traveling through and stopped for coffee and cookies and before we knew it mom asked if we could manage a quick photo session with Valerie!  It was raining outside but my husband quickly got my studio set up enough to do a session and we had a great time capturing some fun images of Valerie last minute!  I can't believe what a beautiful young woman Valerie is now and I hope and pray that she continues to overcome obstacles and have a beautiful future.

Breanne {sunset} Sessions

When I moved back to Missouri this past spring I was dying from lack of creative outlet so I called up Breanne and invited her out for a fun and different boho sunset session!  Bre used to be in my husband's youth group years ago but she's grown into a stunning young woman with style and confidence!  I had so much fun shooting with her!  Its a little different than my usual but it was such creative fun!

Reagan {newborn} session

Reagan's mama and I went to college together and she was even my wedding planner many Octobers ago so I was thrilled when she asked me to come and take Reagan's newborn photos!  Big brother was just celebrating his second birthday and he took a break from his cookie for a couple of quick shots but mostly he was attached to mama!

They are such a cute little family of four!

Landon {newborn} Session

I was so excited to get sweet little Landon in front of my lens just weeks after his mama's maternity session!  Mama, Rachel, sent me pictures of his sweet woodland themed nursery and I immediately knew what direction to take this session!  Landon was a perfect little fox and I loved every second of his newborn session!
