Kirksville childrens photographer

Meet little miss Emma! She stole my heart! She had so much character and personality for a 3 year old! She even asked me to have her mom take a picture of she and I together under my parasol which was so cute and flattering! That is a definitely a first!

Kirksville maternity photographer

This is Vanessas third maternity shoot, she and my brother are getting ready to have thier first girl! I am so excited as there hasn't been any girls in our family born in 12 years, and I am SOOOO ready to buy all the cute little stuff I have not been able to buy for all the boys! Vanessa has done 3 seperate maternity sessions with me, and the last one we included my brother for a few shots. Here are a few that I really loved~! Enjoy!

Kirksville newborn photographer

When I showed up at Taylors to do her babys newborn portraits I was so amazed at how beautiful lil miss Carter was! Talk about a gorgeous newborn! I am pleased to announce to you sweet baby Carter :)

The Kelly Family

I first met the Kellys at Danielle and Joshs wedding last month. Talk about a gorgeous family! We headed out to 1000 Hills for their shoot Saturday evening, and boy was the lighting perfect! I could not have been happier with their session. They were such a joy to work with and I look forward to working with them again in the future!

Family photography in Kirksville Missouri

My goodness I had a blast last night! Took the kids out to grandma and grandpas in the country to take some pictures for Mi Maw for Mothers Day and just really enjoyed the weather. It amazes me how I can capture a moment that otherwise might be forgotten, just stop time, to that one millisecond where everything was beautiful. Of course when you are in LOVE with the children you are photographing it makes each one more priceless. Here are a few from last night. Enjoy!

Recent happenings

Wow~! It's been a busy couple of months! I have not really had time to update my blog lately and for that I apologize! I have had so many adventures in photography lately I do not even know where to start. I have waded through 4 ft snow in gum boots, got waist deep in ice cold water only to find my client and I were stuck there because of a large snake on the shore...( we both HATED snakes!), and have met some of the most beautiful babies, children, expecting mothers, and brides you could ever hope to find!

   On a personal note I have also been juggling the schedules of myself along with 4 of my own children, 12 soon to be brides, and countless families needing portraits who are all huge priorities in my life right now. I could not be more wore out, nor more happy at the same time!

  Here are a few from some of my most recent shoots, enjoy!!!
