WYLEE IS ONE! {{FIRST BIRTHDAY SESSION}}

If you'll remember a few years ago I did a really awesome 50's styled session with Nathan and Stephanie. If you want to check that out click here!

Last year they welcomed a new member to their family...Wylee! So, I had the honor of doing her one year pictures. She did such a good job and was full of smiles! Here are a few of my favorite images from their session! I think you'll love them, too!

HAYES FAMILY {{MINI SESSION // SOUTHWEST MISSOURI FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER}}

You might remember these little cow pokes from a session a few years ago, which was equally as adorable as this one. You can view it here. They've grown so much!

I was so happy when Anna said she wanted to do another mini session. I knew it would turn out great and be a lot of fun! Here are some of my favorites from their session!

SLEETH FAMILY {{MINI SESSION // SOUTHWEST MISSOURI FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER}}

I have photographed this amazing family several times over the years and I love them more each time.

I got to meet Everly and she did just as wonderfully posing for me as her sisters. It must run in their veins.

Thank you guys so much for continually trusting me to capture memories for your darling family. There is a wonderful feeling that comes with watching a family grow over the years and having the privilege to be a part of it, even in a small way.

PEREZ FAMILY {{MINI SESSION // SOUTHWEST MISSOURI FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER}}

Poor Ostara didn't feel very good during the session, but she was a trooper and gave me a few smiles despite it! Sick or not, she was still adorable!

Here are some of my favorite images from this cute family's Spring mini session!

The Wizarding World of Emerson

I had the honor of photographing Emerson's 1st birthday party! Kim did an absolute wonderful job planning and decorating! I couldn't even do the amazingness justice. Just have a look for yourself!!

Lallemand Family {{Family Session // Southwest Missouri Family Photographer}}

This gorgeous family had a session in October. We had such a great time with them! Luc has the best personality and definitely kept us on our toes. I absolutely loved getting to know them while we shot our session. That's always one of my favorite things about being a photographer. You really get to meet some wonderful people!

We started at a local park and then headed to the Crowder College baseball field because Luc's daddy is a baseball coach. Isn't the photo of Luc in his daddy's jersey THE cutest thing?!

Here are some of my favorites!!

I. Love. This. Family.

I've taken pictures for them since 2011 and it's always so flattering to have clients come back to you year after year. I love watching them grow as families and getting to know them.  These guys are the sweetest. I always look so forward to working with them.  And these girls are proooos! They did so good and you can totally tell from the images that we captured for them.

First, lets do a flash back! This is 2011, 2013 and then 2015. LOOK AT THEM!!!! They were so little!!!! I can't get over it.

Here are my favorites from this extremely awesome family's session!!

Harper is One {{One Year Cake Smash Session}}

WARNING: The images you are about to see are extremely cute. The photographer is not responsible to any baby fever associated with the viewing of the following images.

Now that that's out of the way. Seriously. These are some cute pictures.  I took newborn pictures of Harper when she was just a week old. (You can view that session here  It's just as adorable, fyi) I can't believe she's already 1.  Time really does fly.

I was so, so happy when Megan contacted me wanting me to do Harper's 1 year session.  They are the picture perfect family. Just beautiful. Harper was so happy and smiley.  She did wonderfully. And her outfit matched the flowers.  Literally the only thing I did for this session was show up and take the pictures. They were just so easy.  I look forward to watching this family grow so much!
