I had so much fun with this family for this session, even the evening was off to a bit of a rocky start (more on that below). The session was purchased a couple of months ago by our friend Eric to give to his mother for Mother’s Day. Cheryl and I were able to get […]

Kody is part of the Slater, Mo., 2016 graduating class, and we waited until this spring to squeeze his session in so that he could be braces-free. We spent some time one Saturday afternoon at his grandparent’s farm in Slater. It was absolutely beautiful. I love when the locations of the photos can add some […]

I met with the Nuelle family on a windy Sunday afternoon for their large family session. My friend, Chad, purchased the session at the Higginsville Rotary Reverse raffle. I had donated the session as an auction item for part of the annual fundraiser. To book your session you can contact me at kelsey(at)rockybranchphotography(dot)com, or visit […]

I met up with Mason and his mom, Gwen, on a cool, slightly cloudy Saturday morning to begin his senior session at my family’s farm. We had a bit of sun peaking out for the first few photos, but the day quickly turned cloudy (and then later- rainy). Mason wanted some photos with his truck, […]

I am going to do a personal photography project during the month of March of just detail shots to work on […]

The images we choose to display in our home are more than decoration or wall décor; they are the stories of our families – they show how we’ve grown and changed over time. It is a story we get to relive everyday; that we share with visitors in our home; it is a history children will grow up learning. To have […]

At the beginning of 2016, I enrolled in an online composition course as a way to improve my photography and inspire me to pick up my camera more. I loved the class. It was hosted by CM University (a part of the Clickin Moms website), and I would recommend their courses to anyone looking to […]

Picking out clothes for a photo session can be difficult, stressful even. If you are taking the time to plan a photo session you want to make sure that it will turn out exactly the way you want. A general rule to keep in mind is to try to coordinate the clothes of everyone in […]
