landon | 3 months

This little guy was just the sweetest. :) (and happens to be one of the winners of "my sweet baby event") 3 months old can be a tricky age for photographing a baby, because they are in between the sleeping phase and mobile phase... but, I love the photos we came away with. I love the smiles and personality in this first collage. If you look really closely in the photos- you can see the "peach fuzz" of what will be his red hair. :) It was fun to meet his mommy and auntie at the shoot... you guys have a treasure here. :) Enjoy the sneak peek!

wedding | wednesday. reception tents.

Here are some fun ideas if you plan to use a tent for your ceremony or reception- and it doesn't just have to be a backup plan for rain! :) I am personally a huge fan of this clear tent... it would be sooo gorgeous for sunset or a starry and moonlit night. Chandeliers are always fabulous too.

ellie | senior

I SO appreciate Ellie's flexible and "up for anything" personality! It made for a stress-free and creative session. She is just full of joy- and I love that you can see it in all of her photos! Great idea, Ellie, on doing photos in the bookstore too. :) I SO love them. I wish I could show you all of the photos now... but, you will have to wait a while longer. :) Ellie- You are beautiful. These are for you, because I know you can hardly wait to see a glimpse of all the photos that will be coming your way! I seriously couldn't decide which ones to show you! ENJOY!

beatrice | baby

I took baby Beatrice's 6 month photos in the spring and immediately fell in love with her and her big sister, Eloise. :) She is a beautiful, pleasant, and curious baby. On the rare occasion that you get a laugh out of her, you can't help but smile. :) We had a perfect, cool afternoon just for us. I love that I get to take her 9 month photos in November when they come back to town.


we saw a lot of this while we were taking photos. :)

she was so proud of herself for standing all by herself! :)

beautiful evening light. :)

weekend in review. [thankful]

I just now have a few moments to reflect and give you a re-cap of the fun and craziness of this past weekend. Starting on Friday- it was a whirlwind of setting up for the Expo [so thankful I was able to order a last minute photobook and pick it up in one day!] I would love for you to see it! Just ask. :) That afternoon- I had a photo session with 9 month old baby Beatrice. [she is so precious... there's a blog post devoted to her coming soon!] Then, I stopped by the art show of the lovely Elise Abigail [one of my fabulous 2nd shooters.] To top that evening off- it was movie [yes. leap year. one of my favorites.] and fondu with my sister... much needed. We headed out for Tulsa the next morning... it was a nice and relaxing trip... if I can say that about a short roadtrip. :) We checked into our hotel... took a breather... then walked down the street to the location of the "first look". I won't spoil the details of the beautiful day... because I will soon have a post devoted to the wedding. :) After lots of beautiful photos in a beautiful location with one very happy couple, we picked up some Braum's ice cream and headed back to the room... for a very early morning was coming. :) After making the trip back to Springfield [there is nothing like driving down the road on a crisp morning as the sun rises... it was lovely.]- we picked up some Starbucks at the new Bistro Market downtown and headed over to the expo. With our arms full of materials we would need for the day- we opened the doors into what would be non-stop hustle and bustle for the next 5 hours. I had such a great time meeting all the brides... it's especially fun to meet people who have been such faithful followers of my work... to put a face with their name. :) I loved the feel of my booth- very "me"- it felt like an exquisite boutique- kind of "couture". Thank you to all who made it possible! At the end of the day- I took a very deep breath... amazed by all of the opportunities that the weekend held... God gave me the strength that I needed- as He always does. I'm constantly amazed by the dreams God has for me- definitely different and greater than I could have dreamed for myself. I ended the day feeling inspired- but quite sleepy- and anticipating a work-free Monday. Here are a couple of "behind the scenes" photos from the weekend. :)
