Blue Springs, Mo Family Photographer: Silas and family

When I first met Silas, he was just a bump in mommy’s belly at her maternity session. Then I got to hang out with him again when he was only a few days old. When his mommy contacted me about a family session and told me he was 9 months old I couldn’t believe it! How did this happen? It’s been a very busy year for both my family and my business and time has flown by. Little ones have a way of showing us just how much time! Luckily he is going to be a big brother soon so I will be seeing him, his beautiful baby blues and his family more often.

Blue Springs, Mo Couples Photographer: D&S

It is so hard to believe it’s been over a year since Daniel and Stephanie’s engagement session. I remember it like it was yesterday…so much fun and SO HOT!! They are the cutest couple ever and just really nice people and so I was super excited when Stephanie contacted me about a session for their 1 year anniversary. Last time she provided an adorable mailbox that she painted to look like the one from the movie “Up” for the session. This time she came with a chalkboard perfectly ready and they also came up with this PERFECT location. Dream clients! Anyone recognize where this session was shot?

Blue Springs, Mo. Child Photographer: P&R

Hurray for more repeat clients (and lots more making their way to the blog in the near future)! This was my 3rd session with these girls and they just keep getting more and more beautiful each session. Mom suggested a location that I hadn’t used because before because I didn’t think the light would be good here, but we were blessed with an overcast day and beautiful fall colors and I was reminded that sometimes taking chances pays off!

Blue Springs, Mo. Maternity Photographer: Baby BOY for R&D

I have been blessed with being VERY busy with sessions the past couple of months and many of them have been repeat clients which got me thinking about just how awesome this job is and how lucky I am. Whether we became “friends” because I see your family every few months or once a year for photos, or we were friends first and I am lucky enough to capture your milestones, it truly is an amazing honor to be included in your lives. Especially true for this session with my friend Robyn. As she pointed out recently, a few years ago we were doing a session with her and her son shortly after she became a single mother. Then, after finding her soul mate it was time for engagement photos followed by a BEAUTIFUL wedding! This week I was lucky enough to be there as her family found out whether they would be adding a boy or girl to the mix. We wanted to do something a little different than the typical pink or blue balloons for her reveal and Robyn had the great idea to use Jones Soda which was also used in with her and her son in that very first session years ago. Congratulations my friend. I can’t wait to meet baby Hoyt!

Blue Springs, Mo. Child Photographer: Norah

I first met Norah last year for a session and she wasn’t really in the mood. Turns out she was coming down with a stomach bug. What’s amazing is that even though she felt cruddy and we didn’t get a lot of smiles, her session and images are in my memory as some of my favorites…she’s just that cute, even when sick. I was so excited to see her again bigger, happier, healthier AND in clothing from my favorite children’s boutique! Clients, when in doubt…Persnickity! I really think this little beauty could be their next model!2013-10-20_0001.jpg
