Brian + Ashley + Kimberlyn

Republic, MO (In-Studio)

As with most every year come holiday time, things got a little hectic for me and my photography world.  I kind of didn't stay on top of the blogging like I normally like to do so I am using my day back at work today to play a little bit of catch up.  I can't think of a better place to start then with this beautiful family!

Brian and Ashley came to see me in the fall as they were still expecting their beautiful daughter Kimberlyn.  We spent most of the time in the studio but as luck would have it, it was a gorgeous day in Missouri that day, so we also were able to venture outside for a few at the end.

Here are a few favorites from their maternity session...

And then came little Miss Kimberlyn!!!  Beautiful baby girl!  And yes, look closely, her mama had already gotten started on painting those cute little toenails and fingernails : )

I always love putting together these newborn collages!!!

Hallie

Republic, MO (in studio)

I am having the absolute joy and honor of getting to know Hallie and her parents and watch her grow through her first year!  She is just absolutely beautiful and oh my goodness....all I have to do is look at her and that smile just glows from ear to ear!!!!!

Here are some favorites from her 3 month session...

I can't wait to see you again very soon Miss Hallie!!!!!!!

Clint & Rachel

Downtown, Republic, MO

Clint and Rachel have been trying to have their photo session for a few months now but life kept happening so they weren't able to see me until just recently which meant for a rather cold windy day.  But no worries, these two, holy cow, talk about some tough cookies.  I don't think Rachel had a single goosebump on her even when in her gorgeous short-sleeved dress.

These two were also such a tremendous amount of fun to be around and instantly felt at ease around me!!!  Oh and did I mention they were a knockout gorgeous couple to say the least???

Kirsten & Hunter

Downtown, Springfield, MO

It might have not seemed like the smartest or wisest of ideas to take two small kiddos to the downtown area with just me and their momma, but we did, and man oh man am I glad!!!!!  These two are doing better and better with their photos each time I see them!  For those that don't know, these two adorable little kiddos are rather special to me and I absolutely adore every minute I get to spend with them and am honored each time I get to take their photos : )

One for Kirsten & Hunter

Loved this photo waaaaaaay too much to not post a little sneak peek!!!  More coming soon!!!

Seth + Lauren + Kinley

In- studio, Republic, MO

Although little Miss Kinley did not want to sleep a wink, she still was just as beautiful as could be!!!

So sweet how much Daddy LOVES his little girl!!!

Lauren is one pretty mama!!!!

Okay, so anyone that knows me, knows how much it absolutely pains me to show this next photo!!!! ;)  However, I am doing so, knowing that just a few days after this shot was taken, I had a little KU baby girl that I will soon be able to show off as well!!!!

Kinley, I truly hope that I will be able to watch you grow and continue to get to see you as the months go by!!!!
