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.

Bryan, is my first born son and a total joy to my heart. I love him more than I love myself. To share some of the images from his and Jess' photo session this spring is a such a deep blessing to me. They are beautiful together and fun and so well synced. I watched them as I photographed them, letting them do their own thing at times. I saw the joy and the love between them and any insecurities drifted away. My blessings on this marriage fill my heart for them and my prayers that God's hand will lead them ever closer to Him and His grace are forever on my tongue. My deepest hope for Bryan past a strong and fruitful "faith", is that he will be loved and cherished by his wife and that he may do the same for her. This sure is a beautiful beginning for just that beautiful hope. We are honored to except Jessica into our family and we already love her. I'm honored to have gotten the chance to call her daughter. Their hearts are just beautiful and it's my deepest wish that the portraits I chose to share here give you a glimpse of their beauty together! - Shannon d. Edwards
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.
Possibly the most wonderful engagement session ever. Whitney and Ryan were adorable and lovely and willing. I had to make myself stop. We planned the session to include the sunset but I had no idea how wonderful it was going to be. If overshooting is a true thing, I'm the queen lol. I just couldn't help myself. So honored and privileged to get to share these with you all. Congratulations Whitney and Ryan on getting married! So so happy for you both! ~ Shannon Edwards Please click on the images to see the larger version. "Because your life is a Beautiful life! Jayna and Ryan are a beautiful couple. It was my honor and privilege to get to do these precious soon to be "Baby Makes Three" images. During the session I called Jayna and Ryan "Mom and Dad" and it was adorable when they realized it was their first time hearing that. Pure joy to my heart. Two lovely people who fell in love offering this world a beautiful piece of their story. What more could a photographer ask for? Adoring this session and this couple. I am so happy to share these images with you all as well.
Please click on the images to see them in their entirety and larger. You may also slide through them. Matt & Tina were beautiful together. Matt is a part of my family from my husband's side and I've adored him since I met him but Tina... well Tina just stole the show. Their easiness together was a gift in front of my camera and what should of been a mini session turned into a complete event in moments! What a gift. So in love with these moments. You can't even tell that we were freezing. Poor Tina. She's a California girl but she was a total champ! I hope you all enjoy these images as much as I do!
