| Tristen | Warrensburg-Latham High School | Senior 2018 |

While we work a variety of locations and outfits into each session no matter the season, some of our seniors opt to schedule sessions on a couple different dates either to showcase a couple different hair styles (straight/curly) or to get looks we cannot do all in one day (spring flowers and fall colors). Tristen’s first session was this past fall (though with our late leave changes we were still all green!) and this final session was this spring and we did get some beautiful blooms.

| First Christian Church Decatur IL | Baby Dedication Day |

This year I got a unique opportunity to photograph these beautiful families at the First Christian Church baby dedication celebration. This church does a wonderful brunch celebration with the families and we took our mobile studio to be sure that each family got an adorable portrait with everyone all dolled up (are they not the cutest).

Most of the time our mobile studio is used for more corporate events with headshots and the like so this was a really fun change of pace (and no offense to all my corporate clients but a smidge cutter too!).

A big thank you goes out to Stephanie at Green Tree Media on this shoot too. As this was just days before my due date we had a contingency plan for her to step in if baby girl decided to arrive early OR in dramatic fashion while we were at the event. Luckily, there was not an extra little one arriving to the party that day so she was there to be my extra hands and it’s always so fun to work with her.

| Andrew | Warrensburg-Latham High School | Senior 2018 |

So while senior portraits are inherently a bit more of a bit ordeal for the ladies (mostly just due to the plethora of outfits to fit in and the to do of hair and makeup), but that doesn’t make them any less important for the guys! But a little perk of being a guy is the ability to flawlessly complete your session in crazy wind. You’d never know it from the images here but we were all about to blow over and I even had Andrew toss his cell phone in his hoodie hood just to keep it from slapping him in the face (no joke, sometimes we have to MacGyver a few things).

And don’t worry guys, if being on camera for 4 hours doesn’t sound like your idea of a great Tuesday afternoon we’ve have a simple 45 minute session that’s a big winner with our guy clients. All these looks we fit into that quick session and all at the high school, easy-peasy! We knew for Andrew’s session we wanted to highlight baseball so photographing at the school was an obvious choice but baseball isn’t the ONLY aspect of his high school life so we were able to work around other areas of the school to get some plain-clothes looks and even work in his grandfather’s car.

I’m super excited to get back to sessions next week after a bit of time off with our new little one. If you’re a 2019 senior give us a call, we’ve still got a few summer dates and are booking into the fall now and can definitely make room for YOU!

| Jessie + Derek | Married | Columbia Missouri Wedding |

Today I get to show off Jessie & Derek’s Columbia, MO wedding day. This lovely bride is actually my cousin so this wedding was a really fun one where even my little one got to attend and dance her heart out at the reception (when she wasn’t ‘assisting’ mommy by clinging to my leg while I photographed said dancing!).

I don’t work often back in Missouri but being home those central MO weddings have a very special place in my heart (session too!). It’s so much fun for me to be back photographing at places where some of my very first sessions took place. There’s nothing more nostalgic than heading back to downtown Columbia, MU campus or even the Capital to photograph again. Add in a super fun bridal party, the sweetest couple, beautiful lighting, the cutest reception decorations plus a good friend second shooting with me and this was a perfect wedding day!
