We drove down to the Lake of the Ozarks after work on Friday for a family reunion with all of my Mema’s brothers and sisters, and their families. After we dropped Banner off at the pet hotel, and gathered up the rest of our things, we drove straight to the fish fry at the resort […]

There are so many great things about summer, and I love how much there is to do. It was hard to pick just five things that are my favorite about summer, and I’m sure you all could name many more! Read on to see what I love most about this toasty, sun-drenched season. 1. The […]

July has come and gone and I feel like we did so many things, but then I look at the photos and at least half, if not more, are of Banner. He’s just so cute that I can’t help it. Fireworks, swimming, golf, our wedding shower/engagement party and MY BEST FRIEND GOT MARRIED! It’s been […]

Jon and Kali tied the knot on a hot (so very hot) day in July, and I could not be happier for them! They were such good sports about the heat, but it definitely made things interesting. I think the heat index was around 108 degrees. A lot of back and forth between the air […]

Newborn sessions are so important in my mind. Those brand new little bundles of joy are so tiny, and there is something so great about capturing their smallness. They are this fresh, perfect little person with tiny button noses and small heads covered in the softest hair (or peach fuzz); and they are just so […]

If any of you follow along with my #project365 posts on my personal Instagram, you see plenty of photos of Banner. He’s my 80-pound lap dog who loves to snuggle. Part of my about me talks about how I want to adopt all the dogs (seriously, I send Justin photos of dogs I want to adopt […]

Earlier this month, Justin’s aunt and cousin hosted a couples shower/engagement party for us as a way to provide an opportunity for our two families to meet. Since we both come from such large families, we kept the event to just family and the wedding party. We were spoiled with so many recipes, gifts and […]

There’s a reason when you get all dressed up for a special event that you love to have your picture taken. Not only are you commemorating the special event, but you have on a great outfit because you are dressing to impress, your hair and makeup are done and you feel amazing! Who wouldn’t want […]

I went over the the Alumbaugh’s home on a weekday afternoon to get some photos of this precious family of three. Their baby boy is adorable, and I love to cuddle him. Austin, my cousin, and his wife, Christi, are killing it as new parents!! They stay calm when he throws his fits, and have […]

Reviews. Everyone uses them. I always check out the how many stars something has before ordering from Amazon, or see what other people liked about a restaurant I haven’t tried. Photography is no different. I like to request a testimony from clients after we work together and they receive their images. Reviews can be on […]
