Not every senior session happens during senior year.

This session was all about getting a head start, and honestly, I think that's a pretty great strategy. 🎓

We met at Shelter Gardens, kept things simple, and managed to sneak in a full session before the weather decided to change its mind. The gardens were beautiful, the crowds were light, and the relaxed pace made for a really easygoing evening.

One thing I always tell families is that senior photos don't have to be complicated. You don't need multiple locations, several outfit changes, or hours of posing to create images you'll love. Sometimes all you need is a great location, good light, and thirty minutes to slow down and celebrate this season of life.

Senior year will be here before we know it. Congratulations on getting a jump start on it!

Congratulations to this sweet couple on their engagement 💛

We lucked out with one of those early spring days where everything is just starting to wake up again—soft greens, warm light, and that perfect in-between season that doesn’t last nearly long enough.

They made my job easy. So relaxed, so natural, and just genuinely fun to be around. These are the kinds of sessions that remind me how simple and meaningful this can be.

If you’ve been thinking about spring photos, now’s the time. There are just a few openings left before things start heating up (and Missouri decides to fully commit to summer 😅).

Congratulations, Sydney! 🎓🤍

Graduating from Mizzou with a degree in elementary education (and clearly already bringing so much joy and energy to everything she does).

This session was such a fun one—perfect spring light, the prettiest pops of color, and so many genuine moments in between.

It’s always a little special getting to document a season like this—right at the edge of something new.

Sydney, you are going to do amazing things. 💛

If you're getting ready to graduate, there's still time to get your session in before graduation! 👀

Spring is finally starting to show up, and it’s one of my favorite times to photograph 🌿

The trees are turning green, the light is softer, and everything just feels a little more alive again. It’s that sweet spot before the summer heat kicks in—when kids are happy, colors are fresh, and we can actually enjoy being outside for a session.

A quick heads up—I’ll be heading into maternity leave this summer, so I’ll only be scheduling sessions through mid-June this year.

If you’ve been thinking about:
• updated family photos
• a senior session
• fresh headshots
• or just documenting this season of life

now is the time 💛
