The Terrell Family (one of them, that is!!)

When I saw Sally and Jeff get their adorable daughters out of their car, my first thought was, "I want these outfits for my daughters!"- they were cute from head to toe! Jeff is a local pastor, which also spoke to me because my dad is a pastor and I am one of three daughters, just like the Terrells! They were so easy-going and fun to hang out with and we had a great time walking around downtown Lee's Summit and Longview Lake. I had another "Terrell" family on my calendar, but since they hadn't mentioned anything I figured it was just a coincidence..but sure enough after I posted a few pictures on facebook we realized that I would be working with Jeff's brother Jim and his wife Misty and their adorable babies a few weeks later! They both didn't realize that they had booked me! I'll be posting their session soon ....:) Here are a few favorites...

Tim 2011 Senior|Lee's Summit Senior Photographer

The day that Tim and I were scheduled to meet up was not exactly the prettiest of days...in fact it was actually a really dreary day- no sunshine and rain all day! Thankfully it was just misting during our session, and you can't tell at all how miserable the weather was in Tim's pictures because his sweet personality shines through so bright! (Ok, I know that sounded really cheesy, but it's totally true as you can see for yourself below) :)  Tim is graduating from Blue Ridge Christian School which is where I graduated from too! It was fun to meet and talk about the school. He actually told me that he has a teacher named Mr. Eaton and found out his wife's name is Amanda, so he thought she was the one who was going to take his senior pictures...small world! Here are a few favorites!

Tim- you did an awesome job! Thanks for making my job so easy! :)

Adam + Christine|Lee's Summit Engagement Photographer

Another cute couple, another fall wedding. I'm so excited for the three weddings that I have this fall. They will be a nice change from all the family sessions that I am doing in September and October! While I was picking out these photos to put on here I was thinking back to the day we shot their engagement session--hottest day of the summer, I was 9 months pregnant waddling around, Christine and Adam were both wearing jeans (you know what it feels like to wear jeans when you're sweating super bad), and then to make matters worse for Adam, his outfit change was long-sleeves! I also had just shot Micah & Trinity's engagement session in downtown Lee's Summit a few nights before, and I was worried that these shots would end up looking the same..somehow we managed to use only one of the same locations! (You can see their session HERE).  Needless to say, we kept things short and finished in record time. And I ended up loving almost every shot I took- worth the terrible heat :) Can't wait for your October wedding, guys (and that cool fall weather) ! A few favorites...
