2016 Senior Model Styled Shoot – Apple Orchard, Jefferson City Missouri

Editorial Shoots, Seniors 6 . 3 . 15

I am so giddy with this gorgeous session! Since we have more senior models this year than years past, I decided to do two styled shoots instead of one large shoot. The first shoot, was the beach inspired theme and the other shoot was an apple orchard theme. Funny thing, this shoot didn’t work out as planned due to the weather, it turned out way better than my original idea! Melissa at La Sienne is a master at hair and she came up with these vintage volume styles. I love how it all came together!

These ladies were such a joy to photograph and we had a beautiful evening! We started photographing in the main orchard and the farm kitty kept photo-bombing all our shots. She loved Amber! We decided to let the kitty be apart of our shoot, you may spot her in these photos :)

Special thanks to Fisher Pumpkin Patch for allowing us to use their gorgeous orchards and La Sienne Salon and Spa for the hair and make-up! I am so excited to work with these ladies again and more 2016 seniors! I have officially started booking for the summer and fall. Don’t wait to book, I do have limited appointments!

Weddings 6 . 1 . 15

Congrats Ted & Lynette! The two wed in May at Missouri United Methodist Church downtown Columbia, Missouri. We were so excited to do photo and video for this beautiful day. The day started with getting ready at the church. Lynette did a first look with her dad and Ted. They were both happy and a little teary eyed when they saw the gorgeous bride for the first time. The weatherman was calling for an all day wash out and it did rain most of the morning. Luckily, as soon as we went outside for pictures the rain passed. Someone above was definitely watching out for us :)

Their reception was held at the Country Club of Missouri in the Columbia. It was quite the party! Toasts, dinner, drinks, and dancing made the night fun for all. Their wedding party also gave them a proper sparkler exit. What a pleasure it has been to get to know you two over the past year. It was an honor photographing your gorgeous wedding. I can’t wait to see where this life takes you two, cheers to many happy years!

Congrats to Monica & Alex! They celebrated a beautiful spring wedding in Chicago a weekends ago; we were so happy to be apart of their day! This wedding was a little different than most. Alex grew up in Bulgaria and moved to the states with his family when he was 10 years old. He had many family members fly in from Bulgaria to celebrate their wedding. When we were discussing Bulgarian traditions, Alex described Bulgarian weddings much like Greek weddings. There was lots of dancing at the reception! It was so neat to see and be apart of.

The wedding and reception was held at the Field Museum downtown Chicago. Their wedding ceremony was in the atrium of the museum which had a gorgeous glass ceiling with lots of cascading natural light, it was perfect. The day began with rain, in fact, the weather was calling for rain the whole day. We quickly made alternative plans, but as soon as Monica slipped into her dress the rain tapered off. Even though it was still misting, she wanted to do their first look in Grants Park. As soon as Alex came out to meet her for their first look, the rain stopped and the sun came out! We lucked out!

We walked through Grant’s Park to the museum and even stopped at the shore line of the lake for a few quick pictures. It was so cold by the water! After a short but sweet ceremony, the two greeted their guests during cocktail hour. Heartfelt toasts were given by the best man and maid of honor, prior to dinner. After dinner, the party started! The played a mix of music including traditional Bulgarian tunes that had special dances. By the end of the evening, the view of the city from the museum was spectacular. The two braved the chilly weather to get a few night shots. Thank you for allowing us to document this special occasion, Congrats on the joining of two wonderful families. Cheers to many happy years!

2016 Senior Model Styled Shoot – Fugitive Beach, Rolla Missouri

Seniors 5 . 21 . 15

It is so exciting to finally be able to share our 2016 senior model styled shoots! This year I have 12 gorgeous, talented, and amazing young women as apart of my team. They represent high schools in Jefferson City, Columbia, and Westphalia. We are planning some really neat things this year and I can’t be more excited to work with these ladies again.

Since the group is the largest I have ever had, I decided to photograph two styled shoots instead of one. We did a styled beach shoot and an apple orchard styled shoot. I can’t wait to share all of them, but first is the beach shoot at Fugitive Beach in Rolla, Mo. I remember shooting at this location years ago before it became Fugitive Beach. It has changed so much since I had been there. It was the perfect spot to pull off a beach look in central Missouri.

I am officially booking 2016 seniors for the summer and fall. I have limited appointments so book early! Please send me an email to get a copy of our senior magazine that details collections and the experience.

Big thank you to LaSienne Salon, Melissa Chick and Kelsey Barr in Jefferson City for hair and make-up!

Engagement 5 . 11 . 15

These two, cute as they can be. We had a wonderful time working with this sweet couple in Chicago a few weekends ago. Spring is so beautiful in the city! Eric and Sheniqua met in college, they fell in love during the summer when they both interned in Europe together. They moved to Chicago to pursue their dream jobs; in October they will seal the deal back in their home state of Missouri.

We started our photo-shoot at the Kinzie Street Bridge and then headed out to the other part of the city where they live. Our last stop was one of their favorite cafe’s where the two share a cup of coffee almost weekly. I can’t wait to work with you guys again, congrats on your engagement!

P.S. Thanks for the awesome pizza recommendation while we were in town ;)
