A beautiful day.. with the Kelley family!
I had the pleasure of photographing photographer Janeen Kelley and her sweet family while in Florida.
She did such a fantastic job at putting this vintage style session together.
I was so delighted with everything!
Her daughter Lorelai is the ultimate little doll.. such a sweetheart. :)







Special memories from our trip
It was an exciting experience for the kids to join my parents in Florida.
Autumn couldn’t wait to fly.. she was so sure she would see unicorns out the window on the flight over.
Garrett was fascinated by sea shells and Clay’s first memories of the ocean.
We spent the week swimming in the pool, visiting the parks, outdoor markets , delicious cafes.. and playing at the beach!










I couldn’t resist bringing along my handmade goodies!



We saw quite a few aligators sunbathing at Macaya National Park. My Dad treated the boys to Aligator stew. ek!


Me & mine.. and a perfect week to remember!
So.. I am finally a happy owner of an iphone & instagram. yay! :) Life will never be the same!
Here are a few that make me smile. I hope you had a beautiful Easter weekend!

Maybe it’s the swimsuits that I have been stockpiling, or just my usual yearning for summer..
but the beach has been calling my name!
I let the salty air fill my lungs and lost myself in exploring and taking pictures for a week. It felt liberating.

Arlyn was my lovely model for an afternoon.
She is young, beautiful and looking forward to an exciting future after college.
One of her hobbies includes film photography, which she processes herself in a dark room.




Here is a quick peek into my Florida sessions.
The fun Kelley family!

..and gorgeous model Arlyn Crabtree!


Still shaking the sand off from our visit to sunny Florida. It was beautiful.. we have so many fun pictures to share!


A few favorites from our visit to a lavender farm in the hills of Missouri’s wine country.


Autumn enjoyed being my muse that day.
“will you take my picture momma? like this momma?”
She is truly my favorite little girl. She love pretty things and dressing up
..and her favorite color happens to be lavender. :)




Hello Monday, what a lovely start to a new week. :-)
I’ve been looking through my archives and found a few overlooked images.
As I organize, I’ll be adding more prints to the shop.
Strawberries & peonies now available {here} .
