Kaitlyn

I’ve known Kaitlyn my whole life.  She’s my cousin’s daughter, and I’ve been able to see her grow up since she was a baby.  We don’t live close, she’s from St. Charles, Missouri, but we always see each other at least once a year.  This summer I drove to Missouri to take her Senior pictures.  I was a little nervous, mainly because if it rained our whole planned trip, it wouldn’t exactly be the easiest thing to reschedule.  But we watched the weather & it looked like we should have at least one partly sunny day.  So we went ahead & did her shoot the first day.  It started out looking promising, with the sun out, and beautiful weather.  Rain clouds moved in, but Kaitlyn & I decided to make the most of it.  We found an umbrella in my van, and for some of the other pictures we even shot right in the rain.  The weather for the rest of the trip turned out perfect and sunny, but I’m so glad we ended up shooting in the rain.

Samantha

I’ve known Samantha since she was little, like really little.  It was so good to see her & catch up on her life.  She’s grown into an amazing young woman, with a beautiful smile.  We had the perfect evening for her session, with lots of sunshine.  Hope you enjoy!

The Faulk Family

I always have so much fun with this family. We were trying to decide what to do for their pictures this year, and I had a few different ideas, so we just decided to do them all!! Hey, why not? 😉  We started with a mini tea party for the girls. This helped them to warm up to me a little, and it got our session off to a good start too.  What little girl doesn’t love a tea party?  We hit a few other spots, and ended the evening in the water.  I love that we were able to be laid back & enjoy the session.  This blog is a loooong one, so sit back & take some time scrolling through.

Delaney & Ella

I’ve been looking into offering Lifestyle sessions.  This type of session normally takes place in your home (or even outside doing something you love with your family).  The majority of the pictures are unposed, just doing things that you would normally do, and having a lot of fun at it!! Lifestyle sessions are perfect for a growing family with little ones around, and it’s a great way to document the little things that sometime go unnoticed.  I contacted Delaney, who has done previous sessions of her kids with me, and asked if she would mind if I practiced a little on her & Ella.  We had a great time, and I came away loving Lifestyle sessions even more than I thought I would!  We played it by ear, just planning a few things like baking cookies and mani/pedis with Ella.  I’ll probably be adding these sessions in the future, so if you’re interested, let me know!!  🙂

Thank you for having me in your home, Delaney!! I had so much fun!

Kash & Preslee

This session was for Kash, who turned 5, and Preslee, for her 3 year pictures.  Both kids did so well for their sessions! We had some fun inside with studio pictures, and then went outside for a few too.
