Lucy & Miller {kids}

You are in for a treat! My friends Aaron and Lisa have the cutest kids ever – Lucy and Miller. I had the chance to photograph them this fall and we had a blast. We started in their home’s foyer. Between the perfect blue walls and crisp black and white marbled floor, I couldn’t ask for a better backdrop to try to keep up with these two!

We shifted gears and headed outside. I love the punch of red this vintage glider that was a hand-me down from their grandmother provided. But its hard to look past these sweet faces and bright eyes!

Lisa has the Taj Mahal of Pyrex collections. Miller was a little antsy at this point, but I loved the look Lucy gave him when he couldn’t stand still!

A big thank you to Aaron and Lisa for letting me photograph Lucy and Miller!

Meet the uber-awesome Gordon family! Rebecca and Darren, along with their son Jared, met up with me at some great Jefferson City locations for a family session in early November. The weather cooperated and this family was beyond photogenic! We started our session at the Old Shoe Factory.

Just look at these two! I didn’t even have to prompt them to snuggle up.

We gave the lovebirds a break and snapped this series with Jared.

Jared and his dad striking a few guy poses…

And some so sweet ones of a great mom and her son!

And here’s the entire family – including Biscuit! What a sweet pup!

We shifted our session to downtown and captured a few images with the capitol in the background before taking advantage of some side allies for a different take.

In case you didn’t eat up enough of Biscuit in the family shots above, here he is alone. Check out those Hollywood poses from this Gordon family cute pooch.

Thanks for choosing me to photograph your family, Rebecca. I hope you had as much fun as I did!

PS Thanks to the Chamber Friday Coffee where Rebecca and I connected to make this photo shoot happen!

The Herveys {family & pets}

Meet the awesome Hervey family! I met Erin through the Leadership Missouri program this year where I learned about her work and her family. I was ecstatic to get to meet them when she signed up for one of my holiday special mini-sessions. We met at the governor’s garden on a beautiful fall morning where Brian and Erin, their adorable daughters Lauren and Lindsey, and super cute little guy Brendan gave me their best smiles.

Oh, and Truman the golden retriever, too!

Erin’s mother has a history of public service, so the kids made sure we snapped a photo in front of the building where she used to work.

The proud parents…what a great couple.

Each of the kids took a moment to pose for the camera. First up was Lauren, the oldest who set a great example for the others.

Brendan gave me his best “pirate” pose, while Lindsey posed pretty in between a few tickle fights.

Sisters!

From the landing, we scooted over to the old Shoe Factory in town where we wrapped up the session.

We made sure to let Truman be in the spotlight because he had been such a good sport, and who wouldn’t love that sweet, pale face!

A little throw back, retro feel to go with Brendan’s fun look as a farewell to this session…

If we had this much fun this year, I can’t wait to see how great next year will be! Thanks, Erin!

Sisters Ashley & Caroline {family & pets}

Sisters, sisters! Ashley and her little sister Caroline took time this October for a mini-session with their cute pups Gracie and Pedro. We met up at the governor’s garden and had some fun with the dogs in tow.

Smiles all around.

Meet spunky Gracie (above), and the pudgy but lovable Pedro (below).

Ashley, being the sweet big sister she is, set up the session for her and her little sister Caroline. Although they are several years apart, you can tell they have a great relationship.

Thanks Ashley and Caroline for a fun afternoon. And hugs to Gracie and Pedro!

Tiefenthaler Homestead {family}

We recently had some quality family time visiting my sister and her family at their home in Salem. It was beautiful, cool weather for August and I took the opportunity to grab a few shots of some of their pets and other animals, plus my family catching up on their front porch.

Meet Luke…

My sister Karla also tasked me with capturing Dave, her husband, with his hunting dogs. And both were in good form…Luke is above and veteran Cricket is below.

My dad and Dave caught shooting the breeze while enjoying the breeze on the front porch. And Taffy got in on the action as well. Gotta love Corgi butts(above right)! Below she poses with my nephew Kutter.

I also got my folks to play along. My dad’s impression of a “pancake face” followed by a few happy, smiley shots…

Even the Tiefenthaler’s hogs were photogenic. Gus seemed to be their new best friend, too.

And meet “Naughty Piggy!” She’s the last to survive of her litter and is always begging to be bottle fed. She got her name because everytime you pick her up she throws a fit…such a naughty piggy.

Thanks to my sister for a great weekend visit. Can’t wait til we all can get together again soon!

Richard, Susan & Miller {family & pets}

My dear friends Richard and Susan wanted to take some updated family pictures in the midst of fall. Task number one was to include Miller, their lovable dog. Miller was all smiles, while their idyllic home and West Main neighborhood served as the perfect setting for their photo shoot.

Miller loved the attention and even showed off some of her skills in the backyard.

After Miller tuckered out, we gave her a respite and snapped these of Richard and Susan in front of their great home. Love that picket fence and peak! And not to mention their great smiles and obvious love for one another!

We ended the session with a stroll up to the corner shop that had the most beautiful collection of fall mums in bloom. The fading sun and warm colors from the mums scream fall. The last image, my favorite – adorned their holiday cards.

Thank you Richard and Susan for letting me spend an afternoon in the fall with you!
