Cue the cuteness! It feels like yesterday that I was shooting little miss Mae's newborn photos.  This gorgeous family have been clients of mine since... well the beginning!  Nothing makes me happier when I get to share a history with my photography families.  I was blessed to be a part of another moment in their life as we hiked through Burr Oak Woods in Blue Springs. This gorgeous conservation area is filled with trails, woods, fields and a pretty cool education center. We spent a wonderful hour together and took many amazing shots. Enjoy!

Welcome to the world baby Harold! Kara and Samuel welcomed a new addition to their family in late spring. This little guy is only a month old, but as you can see he's a very serious and adorable little guy! His big brother Edmund is not ready to give up the limelight, he really gave us a run for our money... as toddlers always do! We managed to squeeze a few smiles out of him – and it’s worth every silly dance I performed.  They are both such smart and sweet little boys.
For this session we ended up taking advantage of the weather clearing up after a raining morning and had some fun in a beautiful green space down the street in their neighborhood. Enjoy the photos and these two cuties. :)

Natalie had one request; a campus and downtown engagement session, and I think we accomplished that! We've had so much rain this Spring I really started getting nervous that we might have a gloomy session. But as luck would have it, the day was perfect! These two truly are meant to be, they're love for each other radiates from their smiles as they embrace. We had a lot of fun spending the morning on campus at Jesse Hall and downtown Columbia, Missouri. I cannot wait for their wedding in March of next year! Congratulations you two!
