Esser Family

My husband graduated from William Jewell College, but I have never been on campus before. I've driven by with him, but that's as close as I've gotten. My session on Saturday landed me a closer look when I met Dennis and his family on campus. Dennis is the design talent behind my awesome new logo AND the fabulous enhance magazine (if you know me at all, you know a little about the magazine)!

I've seen the work side of Dennis, so it was great to see him at play with his family. Spending time with he and his lovely wife, and meeting his three adorable boys made for a great session!

Enjoy a few of the MANY images taken that day. The last shot has to be one of my faves of the session!

Lexi

My little Lexi turned 10 months today but these are technically her 9 month photos. Sadly, it takes me a bit to get to family photos. Hence, not having Maddy's 6 year photos even taken! Love my sweet girls. They are my life! I am blessed.

Matt and Katie: Engagement

Meet Katie and Matt. Katie is my niece and Matt is the awesome guy she is going to marry! Their special day is in July and I'm so happy for them!

I was excited for their session on Sunday for a couple of reasons. The first is obvious. I was looking forward to hanging out with them! Secondly, I think we rescheduled this session 3 or 4 times due to various types of inclement weather. So we were both glad the weather held up. Finally, I've never photographed an engagement session before and was excited to have these two be my first. They were more than gracious as I played with poses. (stand up, sit down, lay down, crouch down, look this way...:)

Thanks guys! Looking forward to your big day. Enjoy a few of my favorites...

Maisy

Thank heavens the rain stopped for this weekend! What a beautiful day to meet these lovely ladies at the park for Maisy's 6 month session. It is so fun to see how the little ones grow and change. Maisy has definitely grown! She sure hung in there for about an hour. She knocked out on mom's chest before she even hit the car. Big sister Kailey came along and was a huge help in getting that sweet smile you'll see below. Thanks for the awesome dance moves Kailey! See you guys the next session.

SIX

Six things I love about my Maddy on her 6th birthday:

1. Her great big smile and the laugh that comes with it.
2. The way she uses her creativity to turn any situation in to a fun time.
3. Her kindness towards others. Especially her sister. (hope it never changes!)
4. The way she snuggles up to me when we are reading a good book.
5. Her independence mixed with her need for her mommy and daddy.
6. How we can go out for an afternoon of boring errands and have a great time just being together.

Happy birthday to my sweet girl!

Enjoy a few snap shots of her camping party...
