Kara and Cannon {Southeast Missouri Dog Photographer}

A few times a year, I get the chance to offer mini sessions in the Southeast Missouri area. (I am from there and go visit quite a bit). Last fall, I had the pleasure of photographing Kara and Cannon at my favorite spot in Daisy, Missouri: the Hahs Farm. This isn’t their first time on the blog; they here back in 2017. You can read about Cannon’s adoption story and see those pics by clicking here!

Kara found Cannon at the Humane Society of Southeast Missouri. He is eleven years old and could be a terrier mix or schnauzer mix. Either way, we think he is pretty darn cute!

Cannon loves to go for walks, eat delicious treats, cuddling and chasing cats at Kara's parent's house. 

Enjoy some of my faves below!

The Thieret Family {Southeast Missouri Family Photographer}

On the blog this week are Nicki, Jeff, Jake and Zach Thieret - along with their sweet pups, Pepper and Axyl. Nicki and I have been friends since kindergarten, and I love photographing her family! Her kids are practically grown, so not only did I get the entire family for photos, but we did Zach’s senior portraits the same day. We did these at my favorite spot in Daisy, Missouri at the old family farm of my great aunt & uncle.

Nicki and Jeff’s first son, Jake, is 19 and a junior at Southeast. He is currently studying Computer Science and Cyber Security. He is their resident computer guru and Nicki says he’s the most humble and kind person she knows.

The younger son, Zach, is 17 and a senior at Saxony Lutheran High School. He will be headed to college in the spring. Though he is sure to be a quick study because after a two week quarantine due to COVID, he became a whiz at solving the Rubik’s Cube. He’s available for parties!

The family’s oldest dog, Pepper is a seven year old Westie. She loves to let the family know when anyone is walking in the neighborhood or if a squirrel in the backyard. Pepper also enjoys going on walks and saying hi to the other neighborhood dogs. She is quite the social one! While in the house, she is content to sit in a chair, right next to Nicki.

Axyl is a three year old lab/mastiff mix. He is mostly laid back, but has learned how to spot walkers and squirrels, thanks to his sister. The UPS and FedEx folks are getting to know him, but Nicki still goes out with him to be sure they know his name and that he is very friendly. He is a rescue, but not from an organization. He was born to a family who could not keep him and Nicki and Jeff asked to be considered for his forever home, which happily they got to adopt him. The Thierets adopted him after their first lab/mastiff mix, Cooper, passed from cancer. Ax is large, goofy and as sweet as he can be!

Enjoy some of my favorites from our session.
