Goodbye Missouri

The time has come for me to close this chapter in our lives.  It has been a terrific 5 years here in the Midwest but the dessert is calling us home.  Spring photos were a bit more sentimental as I captured these amazing families photos one last time before I pack my camera away to enjoy some scary cactus and dry heat.

This girl is fierce and is taking the world by storm.  I am so delighted that I had the opportunity to capture her confidence and beauty.  

Heart of Gold

Start each day with a grateful heart.  That's what comes to mind after spending time with this beautiful girl.  She is so positive and has such a strong desire to serve those around her.  She works hard and is always paying it forward.

There's an EXTRA Special place in Heaven for the mother of all boys! 

 I feel so honored to have this woman as a friend.  She teaches me so much everyday single day!  She isn't just raising four exceptional sons. She is raising exceptional future husbands and fathers.

FAMILY:Where Life Begins and Love NEVER Ends. 

I am so grateful for the opportunity I get to meet the most amazing families and witness their family growing through the years.

Laughter of a Child

"The Laughter of a child is the LIGHT of a home."  Their home is simply glowing!  I feel so honored to have captured this beautiful families smiles again. 

I have witnessed them growing from behind my lens.  I am blessed beyond measure.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

I met this sweet beautiful girl four years ago.  How is it that she is a SENIOR!?!  I am so excited to sit back and watch this amazing girl make all her dreams come true!

See ya later Alligator

One is heading back to College and one is leaving the nest to service a full time mission for his church. GoodByes are hard so we will just say See Ya Later and wish that tall one Good Luck!  We know he will do amazing things in the next two years but he will be missed.

This is the beginning of anything you want! This boy is in a class of his own and starting the next chapter of his life.  I can't wait to see what his future holds.

2K16

Senior Photo Sessions are in full swing! Graduation is just around the corner and these boys have some bright futures and BIG adventures waiting to begin.

Double Trouble

I had the pleasure of taking these sweet little girls newborn photos.  I was in Heaven!  The way they smelled, their little noises, the way the cuddled into one another!  I tell you it was divine.  

I'll be home for Christmas

I had the opportunity to capture these sweet families being reunited for the Holidays. 

It truly was a Merry Christmas for these Grandmas!

Fall Family Photos

I wish that my kids would have smiled and giggled like these adorable kiddos do when their parents are saying "Don't smile!" It was chilly but this family did a terrific job in weathering the cold weather.

Sisters

These beautiful girls have such a special relationship and it was a joy to work with them.

Oh the Places you will go

She is fun, kind, beautiful and will be missed while she is off on her adventure!

Capturing Moments

Capturing life's real moments is what I do.  And sometimes adorable little one year olds just aren't interested in sitting pretty! However look at those cute big siblings!

They have a beautiful Family and I am so glad they asked me to capture their life moments.
