Lauren and Joe : Engaged • Central Missouri Based Destination Wedding Photographer

Lauren and Joe decided to make their way from Kansas city to Columbia, all so they could plan their engagement session around the first place they officially went on a date, Les Bourgeois! Although it was a little rainy and dreary at the vineyard, nothing stopped these two from creating beautiful images during their session!

Congratulations once again Lauren and Joe, absolutely thrilled for your St Louis wedding this Fall!

Happy Easter! • Central Missouri Based Destination Wedding Photographer

Happy Easter everyone! I rarely talk about my faith over the blog, but today I make an exception! I love God with all my being and today is good.

Easter has always been more of a religious holiday to my family I appreciate that more than anything. Starting the day with  Mass and truly celebrating Jesus in all his awesomeness makes my heart warm. Between the beautiful spring colors and the church hymns of celebration, Easter is a special day that I get excited for each year. Because of his blessings, I truly believe my business succeeds and I couldn’t be more thankful. Today I do hope that no matter what your beliefs, how much candy you eat, or what life is currently bringing you; that you simply take a moment and say thank you for the blessings you are so lucky to have…

Happy Easter! Celebrate, rejoice, he has risen.

A Family Picnic • Central Missouri Based Lifestyle Portrait Photographer

To say this family puts a smile on my face is an understatement! Between this beautiful Mom and her two handsome little guys, I just adore photographing moments that I know they will enjoy looking back in the years to come.

This Spring Mini was no exception! With a Picnic themed session , including a Pic and all the wonderful fruits to go with, the boys had a blast. And lucky for us, we missed the snow!

Here are a few favorites from the day, they are just too cute.
