Out door sessions in Missouri are absolutely gorgeous and this session was no different! It was a long time coming. We waited nearly a year from the time the session was booked to shoot this sweet little family. Life and weather held us at bay but the day couldn't have been more perfect! It was well worth the wait and I am tickled to share their beautiful memories here on my website. This is only a few of the 99 images I returned to this beautiful Momma and Daddy but they tell a story, the Crider Family Story and I am well pleased to present them to y'all today. Chrissy and Josh, thank you for such a wonderful afternoon. I so hope we get to work together again soon! Please click the images to see them fully.

The Parker Family was delightful. Set on Hannah's Mamma's stunning property we just had a beautiful time. So happy to share these portraits with you. Knowing that this was family land made this session so much more special and any time I could suggest to clients to do this I sure would! This lovely little family melted my heart!

Phineas and I go back to when we were kids. I cherish him and count him as family. He's my best friend and I have prayed many times that he would find someone that would love him and enjoy him and his boys the way he needs. So thankful he is finding that in Shannon and with her boys as well. It was my honor and pleasure to create these images. My heart is deeply full. Please click the images to see the larger versions.
Roman just makes the world a better place. I am so in love with this little boy and so blessed that I get to be their family photographer. His Mama and Daddy had their third session with me at our house in the woods near the lake and it was a beautiful day for such a wonderful time! In my heart I truly believe little ones just need to be themselves. Some children are great at sitting still but most are not. When Roman arrives we know he's in charge and we go with it. I wouldn't have it any other way! I hope you all enjoy his session as much as I did creating it! And props go to his Mama for making the adorable kissing booth you see here! :) She always brings something divine to the sessions!
This one was over the top! With his birthday being close to Valentine's Day it was perfect! Just click on the images to see their large version or start at the beginning to navigate through the slide show! :) Amanda and Sean were so much fun to work with. Amanda and I have been friends for over 4 years but as her little family came together I got the joy of being there for the really big moments! After a year of marriage and already a ton of memories, it was my joy and honor to spend the weekend with them in Illinois and have this little session! Waterloo is gorgeous and I adore traveling there. I can not wait for the next session! What a beautiful family. :) * Just click on the images to see the larger versions. :) And then the wrestling broke out bahhahaha! I kept snapping. :) We called it done after this shot. We went on to have a beautiful and fun night with these two wonderful friends. Such a joy and blessing. The boys had all they could take.. next time we may start in the morning ;) You never know where our adventures may lead us. :)
JUST CLICK ON THE IMAGES TO VIEW THE LARGER VERSIONS This beautiful little family melted me from the moment they stepped out of the car. This was a wonderful relaxed photo session at our home. Acia is 6 months old and her Mama, Brittany, said that the photo session was a gift from her Mama. Tylar, Brittany's husband and Acia's Daddy was great in helping us pose and snuggling in for the family shots. And Brittany was just adorable and such a sweet gal! How could you not fall in love with this little face! Precious! When we first sat Acia up by herself it was too cute for words. This picture will have to suffice! = ) When we first placed Acia on her belly and gave her favorite stuffed duck to her she just naturally snuggled it. I just mushed right into the ground lol. My heart is never going to be the same! :) This child. This... child. Just makes my heart burst. I don't always save "action" shots but I couldn't pass up this gorgeous grin at her Mama and Daddy. And this is where the true magic happens. This is where I know this baby girl will always have a special place in my heart along with her family. Her expressions. ADORABLE! I saved way too many but how could I not? Every single one needs to be remembered forever! :) I asked Brittany about her and Tylar: how long they had been married and where they had met. I loved her answer. "We have been together almost two years now! Married for one in August. Acia was definitely a surprise that we didn't expect so early but we wouldn't have it any other way :) We met through a mutual friend at the time and we pretty much instantly became best friends. He is my rock and I'm glad we were best friends long before we married and had a child. I couldn't ask for a better man." I was deeply honored to do this photo shoot and so privileged to get to help create these memories for this little family. Truly just blessed. Adorable!
What a beautiful family and what a wonderful way to remember the year and the moment! I loved this little session so much! Such a blessing!
