THE NADLER FAMILY | extended

The most gorgeous October day spent with the Nadlers, their daughters, and their families! These kiddos were truly SO sweet. They listened to every little thing I asked, kissed and loved on one another, and reminded me just how special it is to grow up surrounded by cousins.

Tucked away at their family home in Augusta, we were able to capture some of the sweetest memories right where so many family memories have already been made. Having these photos taken at their grandparents' home made the whole session feel that much more special.

Truly one of the best Christmas gifts from last year, and I couldn't have asked for a prettier Missouri October day to finally bring it all together! 🤍

EMERSON | newborn

A sweet morning in the studio with Easton's sister aka Emerson! This sleepy gal was nothing short of perfect, giving sleepy smiles in brother's arms and happy to snuggle her mom + dad. Easton is already the best big brother, and couldn't stop saying "she's so cute" the whole time. It was truly the smoothest session - she was happy to have her photos taken!!

We were even able to step outside for some photos since, ya know, today was THE most perfect fall day. 😍 I had the best morning with Kayte, Mike, Easton, and their girl.

There is just something about fall evenings at Klondike Park that never gets old. The colors, the golden light, the perfect weather, and that little bit of magic that seems to settle over everything as the sun starts to set. And last night? Absolute perfection.

THE KNOTTS | pt. 1 because it's late and I'm tired and want to post these before I go to bed.... 🥹

I had the BEST day with Mary Catherine + Austin, and all of their friends and family at MC's century farm. A dream!! The perfect property, the perfect day, and people that said "thank you" to me probably 100 times, which was just so, so kind.

These two are in LOVE, love. And their people L O V E them. Truly such a wonderful day and I am so happy to have been a part of it!!

THE HALL FAMILY | maternity

This is a story about a little girl who is about to have a little sister and best friend very, very soon. She tends to her chickens and horses daily, and spends all of her time with her pup, Butter. She showed me where she picks flowers for mom, plays with dad, and explores every inch of her little slice of rural MO paradise. ✨.

The best golden hour evening with Sage, Luke, Robin, baby girl #2, Butter, 10 chickens, 1 rooster, 2 horses, and a gaggle of guineafowls. Sessions like this do something to my soul... obsessed.

THE FELDMANN-VOSS FAMILY

A few months ago we moved into our brand new home + acquired some pretty great neighbors around us. Tonight I was able to photograph the Feldmann Family at their stunning property, just a hop and a skip from our house, and had the most amazing time. Michelle + Dan jet off on their side by side on a regular basis, and now I know where they're off to! I also attended Health Occ with their daughter, Andrea, as well as the Fair Queen contest back in 2014! I love these full circle moments + getting to photograph their family tonight was such a treat. Thanks for having me out, Feldmann's!

Here’s your reminder that DEC + JAN are not scary!! They’re actually quite gorgeous. 😍 I love when I get to do early mornings at your home, or early afternoons in the fields/cedar grove. All of these photos were taken in the December timeframe - so if you couldn’t catch one of my fall dates in time, there’s still room for you, just layer up and I promise we won’t even sweat. 😉 🤣

Also friendly reminder that my Sept-Oct books up by July every year so put that reminder in your calendar for next summer!! I am so blessed and wish I could photograph you all when everything is orange but it doesn’t have to be! 🤍

CECILIA LOU | newborn

A post-rain, cozy fall day with the Turner's and their newest gal, Cecilia. An actual angel on earth - how perfect is she?! She slept soundly in mom and dad's arms for her entire session, and didn't even show me her eyes, not even once! 💤 Miss girl has the most gorgeous head of dark hair + the longest fingers + toes.

I love getting to enter into families homes and photograph their best moments. They just settled into their gorgeous new home, celebrated one year of marriage, and are soaking up every second with their (almost) 3 week old baby. Also peep all the blank walls waiting to be filled with past, present, and future memories!! What a beautiful life!!

THE HELLEBUSCH FAMILY | new home

Some sessions just feel a little extra special. 🤎

Tonight, I drove out to the Hellebusch family’s new home, and I’m not sure I could ever do the view justice with words. Rolling Missouri hills, the most beautiful landscape, and a drive that reminded me just how much beauty we have right here at home. They’ve been in their dream home for only a few weeks, and getting to document their family here, in this new chapter, was such a sweet full-circle moment.

I’ve had the joy of photographing this family for so many years now. From engagements and weddings to maternity, newborn sessions, and all the family milestones in between, I’ve watched their story unfold one season at a time. I still cannot believe how big Alice + August are getting! They are the most social little babies, always greeting me with hugs + holding my hand.

And now, here we are. A new home. A new chapter. A place where so many more memories will be made.

There’s something so special about getting to photograph the people you’ve known for years in the places that mean the most to them. Not just documenting what life looks like right now, but preserving a little piece of the story that brought them here.

Hellebusch family, thank you for letting me be part of so many chapters of your story. Getting to document this one was an honor. And that view? I think I could have stayed all evening.

Until next time, friends!! 🤍

THE KODATSKY FAMILY

The kind of evening that reminds me why I love what I do. 🤎

Cooler temps, the first hints of fall color, the prettiest golden hour, and a whole lot of chaos in the best way. 😂 Graham and Cade kept us working for those smiles, but those are always the sessions I love most.

Jordan has become such a special friend to me this year, and getting to photograph her sweet family is something I don’t take for granted. She and Tom are just the kindest people, and I’m so thankful they are in our lives! Evenings like this one in good ole WashMO, are what fall sessions are all about. 🍂
