Senior 09 - Ashley

I had the opportunity to do some senior pictures this week. I don't do a lot of these but we sure did have a good time and I would love to do more. Ashley is an incredible young lady and I loved getting to know her.
Ashley, You are awesome! Enjoy your pics!

Quick trip to Sedalia

We headed to Sedalia this weekend to visit my parents and take Nicholas to the State Fair for the first time. He didn't enjoy the fair as much as I thought he would. Maybe he is still too young.
Sunday my friend Nikki came by with her daughter Maya. Maya and Nicholas are just a few months apart and we love when we can get them together to play. I grabbed a few shots of them in my parent's backyard. I can't get over how adorable she is.



Ah! How cute are they?







Soooooooo Adorable

Annie + Mike E-Session

I met up with Annie and Mike this weekend to shoot their engagement photos. We had so much fun finding fun places all around town. We started at Stephen's Lake park. This is my FAVORITE park in town. It is such a wonderful place for families. We then headed downtown.





How cool is this bridge we found hidden behind the park?





Downtown Columbia never fails to provide new places to shoot. I love finding bright color to bring some fun to my images.








Look at those eyes. WOW!



We stopped in at a coffee shop for a little break.











We were getting ready to call it quits when I said in a jokingly hopeful voice "well I guess that is it, unless you guys want to run through the fountains in your clothes". I was more than thrilled when Annie's reaction was "Heck Yeah!" I knew I liked them.

Emma Lea & Aubrie Round 2

I had the pleasure of shooting Emma Lea and Aubrie again today. They will look familiar because three months ago I did their pictures. We shot early in the morning but the girls were ready to go.





How cute is this smile??



Emma Lea did some twirling







Yummy light



She is sitting up so well







I had a really good time with you girls this morning and I can't wait to hang out with you again!

Vacation

Last month my amazing parents took the entire family to Florida for vacation. We rented a condo on the beach and just played in the sand and sun all week long. It was a wonderful break from the real world. I wish I was there right now.
The first morning we were all down by the water and I captured this shot of Nicholas and his cousins, Zack and Abby, checking out the water.



And then I got this one our last night of my little guy running on the boardwalk. Isn't he the cutest??



It was a really great week and we are so thankful that we got to go. Thanks mom and dad!
