A sister is a built in best friend

 It's true! I only had two brothers and they are my best friends but these girls of mine are special people! They have a love-hate sibling relationship but in the end...the really do love each other.

It has been a long time since I have done a photo shoot in this little spot. It is hard to get to but worth it. All year long even! I need to go back in the fall to do something creative once those leaves start turning! 

Be sure to message me if you are thinking about booking a session. The prices have been updated and are pretty easy to figure out. Simple and fun! Let me capture those smiles, that childhood innocence before they someday become little adults in this great big world. 
















Just a gal & her pony

This is my oldest daughter Marlee Kate and her pony Stella. We aren't big horse people (we have a lot of livestock but when we need to do a job, we usually use the atv or utv!) So...the horses are kind of a specialty critter around here. 

Marlee did horsemanship this year and has not only learned a lot about horses...but great life lessons and responsibilities too! She earned herself a little photo session and these are our picks from that evening. I'm very proud of the young little lady she is becoming. 






















Oh Baby!

 There is just something about a sweet summer newborn & a beautiful mom and dad! So simple yet so heart warming. You don't have to have a ton of props and clothing to make a session amazing! Just let the camera and final images do the talking! Enjoy!












It's been awhile

 I can't believe I don't update like I should on the blog! I know it is just another platform to keep up with but it does have all my session and design info after all! 

We are constantly busy with the kids, I farm full time and I attend farmer's market each Saturday. I also have a shop set up in our little rural north Missouri historic town! I do my best to make everything from scratch...growing our own food, milking my own cows, butchering our home-grown meat...making my own rustic lard & milk soap and so much more! We do farm on a larger scale but I like to keep our way of living simple! I hope you enjoy some updated photos from earlier this spring and summer. 

I have also updated the session info page. You will find new prices for 2022. It does stink that everything has went up so I apologize for the inconvenience. I feel like my prices are still very affordable. Especially if you check into some other local photographer prices! 

I have had some time since my previous blog posts to study more about photography, equipment and editing software. I have updated the way I do things a little...making my work much more professional but still rustic and true to my style! 

Enjoy!
