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.

I had been planning for weeks to shoot the Super Moon. It was going to be 14% bigger and brighter than our other Super Moons and how Super was that? Yesterday when I got ready for my Photo Session with clients, I knew I needed to pack my tripod for later, after the session. BUT. I forgot by the time I went to load the car. Go figure lol. So. As twilight began crossing our planet I ran to my vehicle and grabbed my camera anyway and stabelized myself against a telephone pole in downtown Desloge to get this first shot. So very glad I did. :) Then we ran home for my tripod and went to the lake to see what could still be captured. The brightness was AMAZING! The Super Moon was so BRIGHT that is caused a huge reflection in my lens. Thought I'd share how beautiful it was. Toward the end of my shooting the clouds moved behind the moon at a perfect moment.
This was the only one I got in focus of the moon. Is was so gorgeous! 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.

It was my honor and privilege to get to do these precious soon to be "Baby Makes Three" images.

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.

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!
Roman melted me the moment I met him. This little doll was adorable!!!!!!
