Carissa

Carissa was full of laughter and smiles during her senior portrait session Saturday. The crisp weather, the fall leaves, and the breezy morning created a great backdrop to celebrate her senior year! Here are a few of my favorites...

Susan & Sandeep

Susie and Deep were surrounded by family and friends to celebrate their wedding on 10-18-08! The weekend was filled with so many memorable events that included Indian traditions, henna, dancing, eating, and ... many photographs! Enjoy a few of my favorites, taken just after their Hindu Wedding Ceremony!

Biddle Girls

Amanda and Megan had a great time being silly sisters on Columbus Day! They were off from school and we made the most of the sunniest part of the day, playing in the grass, running at the park and walking their sweet little Bandit! These two reminded me of my sister and I, always smiling, laughing and giggling.... enjoy my favorites!

Aubrey

Baby Aubrey is growing fast... her mom wanted her to wear this outfit for our session in case she grew out of it before the holidays! She made so many funny faces in such a short amount of time... she had us all laughing! Happy First Christmas to Aubrey and her family!

The Smith Family

The Smith Family was so easy going for our session at Luthy Botanical Gardens. I first met them at their family reunion over a year ago, so it was wonderful to see them again! The weather was beautiful and everyone had great ideas to personalize the family's photographs. Here are a few of my favorites...

Newly Engaged

Manda and Scott spent Sunday morning smiling, kissing and being silly on location in Tipton, Missouri. The country landscape provided us with so many photographic opportunities. Manda is a close friend of mine, so it was great to get to know Scott before they Tie the Knot on 12-27-08. Looking forward to photographing their BIG day!

The Furmankiewicz Family

The weather this Sunday couldn't have been more perfect for our portraits! The Furmankiewicz Family was dressed for fall and we had the best crisp morning for our session. Ty and Regan got to show their silly side as they found sticks, tossed acorns, and finally... they got to play on the playground! I enjoyed meeting this new family and hope we can catch up again soon!

Baby Logan

Baby Logan has been a joy to photograph since his mid August birth. I was able to document him during quiet rest at 3 weeks and most recently during a breezy fall afternoon at 5 weeks. His portraits were the first infant ones I took outside... his eyes had to get adjusted to the bright light, but overall he was the picture of contentment. I look forward to capturing special memories of Baby Logan as he grows over the next several months!

Alleah Strikes a Pose

Alleah was a joy to photograph; as we met to update her modeling portfolio. Once I was behind the camera she became serious and as soon as I put it down she was a carefree, second grade girl! I look forward to future sessions when I can photograph her beautiful curls... this time, I had a blast capturing her bouncing braids!
