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...

Trinity & Micah Engaged|Lee's Summit Engagement Photographer

Funny story: Trinity found me online and liked my work so she contacted me about doing her November wedding...me being the facebook stalker that I am, looked her up and saw that we had some mutual friends..one of which being my uncle David who grew up in the super small town of Hume. It turns out that Trinity and David went to school together, along with some other cousins of mine. I mean how crazy is that that she randomly found me and she just happens to be from the very small town that my grandparents live in! I was a little nervous at first to say Yes to her because she herself is a photographer and for some reason that always seems a little nerve-wracking, but I'm SO glad that I did because at our E-session we hit it off right from the start! Shooting her and Micah was actually easier because she knew how to pose and how she wanted the photos to turn out. She brought lots of props and we used as many as we could before the sun went down. The first photo here was her idea that they are using for their wedding invitations...do you get it? Tying the Knot :) Trinity and Micah, it was a pleasure meeting you and I can't wait for your wedding in November!! Here are a few favorites, even though it was hard to narrow it down!

Alex + Bree=Hannah!

This was another HOT night- especially for maternity photos (the photographer and the subject were both pregnant so we get extra sympathy points :).  Alex and Bree were so easy to get along with and naturals in front of the camera. Bree kept cracking up at Alex which was so cute, you can tell that they have a fun and playful relationship and will be awesome parents.  We went to a few different locations, one being Longview Lake. After we finished up shooting and were walking back to our cars we noticed these strange bugs (turns out they were mayflies) started attacking us. By attacking I mean that they swarmed us and wouldn't get off! It was hilarious and also disgusting. I couldn't stop laughing but they were literally landing in my ears and hair and eyes and mouth...it was SO GROSS. I felt so bad for dragging them through all that, but they were good sports and the pics turned out really cute :)  I can't wait to photograph baby Hannah, who will be here next month! Here are a few favorites...

And the lovely mayfly...
