Higginsville family sunrise session It was a gorgeous summer morning spent with one of my best and oldest friends and her precious family. I’ve been photographing Jon and Kali since 2016. I have taken their engagement, maternity, wedding, fresh 48 for both kiddos and family photos. They are some of my favorite people, and capturing […]

My best friend’s youngest child turned one this month and we had so much fun celebrating with some photos and a cake smash. I love this family so much, and enjoy any opportunity that I get to photograph them. From maternity sessions, to fresh 48 and milestones (and their wedding!) we’ve been through it all. […]

The pitter-patter of the rain sounds from the roof of the 100-year-old greenhouse. A few drops sneak inside, but inside it’s warm and toasty. The sounds of the rain are drowned out by the sounds of laughter as the little ones keep us entertained. Snuggled up tight, and holding everything most precious to them, my […]

“I love his noises,” his mom told me. He slept peacefully in his bassinet while everyone was in motion around him. Dishes were being washed. His sister quietly played with Play-Doh. His mom finished a few last-minute touches while his dad changed clothes. Baby boy was unfazed by it all – dozing with his arms […]

They left for the hospital early on a Monday morning. It was finally time to become a family of four. After months of time seeming to fly by and simultaneously feel as though it wasn’t passing at all, they were going to meet their baby boy. Such an exciting day! Kali and Jon went to Centerpoint […]

“Maclyn, where’s Kai?” we ask, as the not-quite-two-year-old rubs her own belly. Then she grins, and looks at her momma. “Kai,” she says as she rubs the baby bump; looking up at all of us smiling. She was full of giggles and amazing facial expressions that made our session go so smooth. We met at […]

Bright blue eyes stared at me from the back seat of their car. Her light brown hair was blowing in the wind as she laughed. She yelled in excitement when I rolled my window down. She’s a year old, and loves to talk even if you’re not sure of everything she is saying. When we […]

Strawberry cake with white icing and rainbow sprinkles. That was her first taste of cake a week before her first birthday. It was a cool (but not cold) winter day, and the little blue-eyed beauty was about to turn one. She walked about the house while we set up for her cake smash. Her brown […]

I seriously cannot get enough of this little girl. She is my best friend’s baby, and I have loved photographing her life. Her smile in infectious, and so easily given. She laughs if you laugh. She’s headstrong. She’s perfect. It’s bittersweet, because I know Kali and Jon are amazing parents, and I can’t wait to […]

Oh my gosh I can’t get over how cute this little girl is!! This little girl is 6 months old now, and she is all smiles. 🙂 We started with some photos of the little sweetheart as the focus, and then moved on to some family photos. Kali and Jon (this angel’s parents) are getting […]
