Mia & Nolan {Southeast Missouri Portrait Photographer}

Sometimes I really can't believe how fast time flies by! I recently had the opportunity to take portraits for Mia and Nolan on my family's farm in Missouri. Her mom and I went through school together and were roommates in college, and now Mia is officially a teenager!

I've photographed her for forever, and it's so hard to believe how grown up she is now. She even brought her dog Nolan along for a few adorable photos with him!

Nolan is 17 years old and is a toy poodle. His favorite thing to do these days is napping with his humans. I  had so much fun capturing the two of them together.  Mia even toughed it out by dipping her feet in the freezing creek water!

Enjoy some of my favorites from their photo session!

Kia & Austin {Southeast Missouri Wedding Photographer}

This wedding is extra special to me because it was filled with my own family & friends from my hometown in Missouri. Kia is my first cousin, and I've looked forward to photographing her & Austin's wedding day for a very long time. Kia was a gorgeous bride - her dress from the White Room here in Nashville was amazing and fit her style perfectly - and Austin was as handsome as ever in his gray tux!

Kia & Austin's wedding day was filled with the challenges of weather that forced them to move indoors after having planned an outdoor ceremony, but the skies cleared for us to be able to go to their outdoor site for all their bridal party photos. I'm so glad it did because they are some of my all time favorites!

I loved being a part of this day with them, and I hope you enjoy their blog post today - it's so much fun reliving the day through their photos!

Lots of wedding gorgeousness ahead - and I really had to make myself stop including more and more photos - love this wedding & this couple :)

Enjoy!

Kia & Austin {Southeast Missouri Engagement Photographer}

I am so, so excited to share these images today of my beautiful first cousin Kia and her handsome hubby-to-be, Austin! In trying to decide what to write about this session one word kept coming to mind: ridiculous. Not always a great word, but in this case I mean it in the absolute best way! You see, we had a ridiculous amount of fun during this session, with ridiculous amounts of laughter (from all three of us). The weather was ridiculously perfect, as were the fall colors, and the location. And let's face it, they are ridiculously good looking. :)

I normally don't post so many from an engagement session, but I love them so much I'm over-sharing today!
