…where the heart is…
…right in these images.
I know, you’re thinking…really she still shoots families? Yes, silly…I do. Lots of them these days and I love it! I had to stop by just to prove it’s true!
I just adore all the connections…not just with eachother, but with their surroundings. Makes my heart happy.

…Hello world…
…I’m still here. Total exhaustion…but a huge sigh of relief. We’ve been doing some home improvements, which had to be completed by yesterday when I was having a birthday party for the hubbers. Man. It was a fun time though. I’ve had so many engagement shoots lately, and over the next two weeks I have about 6 more. I love engagement sessions. They are so much fun. So I thought I would stop by and share one.
Steve and Jess are amazing! So is their sweet little gal Isla. They have a pond on their family’s property…no better place for an engagement session and to say goodbye to summer…


The vintage bug was awesome! It just so happens that the best man restores vintage cars…umnn humnn. Wait till you see the one we’re going to use for the wedding! Yippee!








oh yes they did! Freakin love it!

…sorry…
…I am so behind on blogging. Weddings, portraits, engagements. I hope no one gets offended. It’s just that time of year…busy season. Something has to give…so it’s been the blog lately. I will blog again, but it will be totally random for the next couple months.
I did have to stop by and share this super cute dress from H&M.

…just a snippet from the Fall 2011 catalog shoot. As soon as all the line comes out I’ll share lots lots more from our adventure, but for now head on over to MJC and schedule your trunk show or drool over all the cute platinum items.
This shot makes me want to run out into a field( cuz there are not mountains in MO) and just sing…lol.

Have a great day!

…gone…
…are the days of summer…almost anyway. I am suddenly sad. I had so many goals this summer. I was going to do so many things. I wouldn’t say that time was wasted, it just went by too quickly and we didn’t move fast enough. There is something to be said for just rolling with the punches though. My blog slacked, but we were outside every evening playing with the kids. We never made it to the Zoo, but we took lots of nature walks. We never had any big parties, but we did get to spend some time with friends and family. So fall, and all it’s crispy chaos…I welcome you.
Did I mention that my blog slacked?? Oh yes, just a few short sentences ago…and if I am in your Rss feed then I’m sure you have noticed, but this afternoon I am sharing. So enjoy.
This gorgeous senior was so much fun. We shot on her grandparents farm, and as I walked through the house, I saw some familiar faces. Such fun! Ellie’s mom couldn’t be there but for good cause…she was in Africa meeting her new daughter for the first time. In just a few short months she will call the mid-west home.





there were lots of other cuties recently too…baby Graham and baby Brick…


the cutest family of redheads ever.

super kids…and their sidekick sisters…




and please stay tuned…I have the most lovely wedding and engagement shoots to share!

Sometimes I wish I could go back to my senior year and re-do my senior photos because of gorgeous photos like this! ( Aug 15th, 2011 11:19 pm)Wow! What amazing photos! Gorgeous as always! Glad to see you posting again, you have been missed. Gorgeous. That baby smiling? I die. We didn’t make it to the zoo either. Want to take the kids sometime this fall? At least we won’t be melting and stinky from the heat! I love your work so much! Seriously.. can I be you when I grow up?! Such stunning images! ( Aug 12th, 2011 5:43 pm) |
