…MJC…field trip…

…everytime Denise asks me to shoot another upcoming line…my heart almosts bursts out of my chest! I genuninely adore her and the entire Matilda Jane gang…

and then an added bonus…the most amazingly cute clothes on the planet!

Of course we are always both freaking out before the shoot…

Denise is thinking…”what if no one likes my clothes”…

I am always thinking…”Man Michelle, you better not suck, cuz these are some ridiculously cute clothes” 

David is calling out which ones will be the best sellers…

Lynette, Kayla, and Sam are busy organizing everything…and reassuring Denise and I…lol

and it always turns out to be the best time of my life…

The models are always just so happy when they put on these clothes…and so everything just collides into the happiest little event!

Denise worked her but off styling this shoot into the cutest thing ever…and it was!  Right down to the soda bottles.

There are so many new pieces this season!  Especially for the women…

Stella and I have discussed it and we both must have it all.  We are fashion glutens and we need therapy for it…okay so maybe just me…but she is in training…lol!

Hop on over to the Matilda Jane website and set up your trunk show today!  And then stop over at the MJC blog, cuz there is always a good read there…

…the good samaritan…

..Janice…who found my camera bag, and returned it to me!  Thank you!  I would feel really crummy if it weren’t for you! Next time you find something…make every effort to return it to the person who owns it…it will make you feel really good and God will love you for being the honest person you are!

You won’t believe the ladies I have been photographing lately…seriously…you saw my last post…now check out this one…

Jordyn, Emma, Haley, and Molly were knocking my socks off all week long!  Even amid this disgusting heat and humidity!

…back in the swing…

…wow…it’s been a while since I last posted…well for me anyway.  We had vacation, and then went back out of town again.  Life has just been wizzing by.  We have a couple of new additions to our family…I let the kids play the “throw the ball in the fish bowl” game at Homecomers thinking there was no way they would win.  I was wrong.  Stella named her goldfish Michelle (LOL) and Luke named his Joe after his Fort Wayne buddy.

I have photographed 9 girls and 2 boys in the last 6 days. 3 siblings, one cousin, 2 seniors, and a group of bff’s who are about to head off to college.

I think Katie Perry needs to eat her words about California girls being the best…these Missouri girls are the proof!!!!  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…we breed em good here in Missouri!

Oh and it you don’t mind…stop by here and vote for me!

…Angie and Matt…

…it was a gorgeous July Saturday when Angie and Matt said their “i do’s”.  Tears were shed, laughter was heard, and love was felt by all who were present.  It was a joy being a part of your wedding day Angie and Matt.  Thank you.
