Alex, 2014 Helias Senior

Seniors 11 . 26 . 13

I have been so excited to blog Alex’s senior session! She is a total knock-out! The Kardashian’s have nothing on this girl. Alex is a 2014 senior at Helias High School in Jefferson City.  After high school, she plans to become a large animal vet.  Alex has a horse  named Misty and wanted to incorporate Misty into her senior pictures. After we photographed downtown, we went out to the family farm where Misty lives.  Misty was one of the easiest animals I have ever photographed. She listened so well to Alex.

Congrats on your senior year, Alex, best wishes for your future!Helias High School Senior Jefferson City Missouri (2) Helias High School Senior Jefferson City Missouri (3) Helias High School Senior Jefferson City Missouri (4) Helias High School Senior Jefferson City Missouri (1) Helias High School Senior Jefferson City Missouri (5) Helias High School Senior Jefferson City Missouri (6)

Brian & Megan, Engaged

Engagement 11 . 26 . 13

Congrats to Brian and Megan on their engagement and wedding next year! These two are so much fun. I think I laughed their entire session, Brian is so funny! We definitely braved the cold for their session. The best part about shooting in cool temperatures is having cuddly couples!

We started their session downtown Jefferson City. I was especially in love with Megan’s Louboutin’s heels! We then headed for one of my favorite spots along the Katy Trail which is so pretty this time of the year. Looking forward to  May!Jefferson City and Columbia Missouri Wedding Photography (3)Jefferson City and Columbia Missouri Wedding Photography (1)Jefferson City and Columbia Missouri Wedding Photography (2)Jefferson City and Columbia Missouri Wedding Photography (4)Jefferson City and Columbia Missouri Wedding Photography (5)Jefferson City and Columbia Missouri Wedding Photography (6)

Mr & Mrs Cowan, Rolla Missouri Wedding

Weddings 11 . 26 . 13

This year has went by too fast. My 2013 wedding season has came to an end for the year. The fall season has been so beautiful! I am thankful for all the colors that stayed longer than usual. There isn’t a better couple I would have chosen to close out the season than Alyson and Michael. They are a super fun couple, and I had no doubt their wedding would beautiful. They decide to have a small wedding at Michael’s parents home. Their home is tucked away in the country and has beautiful views for miles. They said their I Do’s in the front yard. It was small, sweet, and perfect.

After the ceremony, they held a toast with their guests to ring in the their new marriage. Close friends and family were able to congratulate the new couple. As guests headed to the reception, I was able to spend some one on one time with the new Mr & Mrs’s. The photo opportunities at their farm were endless. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

They held their reception at Matt’s Steakhouse. They were several sweet and funny speeches made by the best man and maid/matron of honor. Dinner and dancing followed. Let me tell you the Cowan’s are good dancers! I was so happy to be apart of this wedding day. It is wonderful to shoot weddings from my hometown and see so many familiar faces. Best wishes for a long and happy life Michael & Alyson! Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (1) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (14) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (2) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (3) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (4) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (5) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (15) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (6) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (9) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (20) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (21) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (16) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (8) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (17) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (18) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (19) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (13) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (11) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (12) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (7) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (10) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (22) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (23)

Jordan, 2014 Helias Senior

Seniors 11 . 25 . 13

I can’t believe we have made it to October already! The best thing about this time of the year is all the senior sessions! I love the cool temperatures and the changing seasons. Jordan is a beautiful 2014 senior from Helias. She was so fun to work with! We even explored a few new locations together which is always fun for me. I feel so lucky to get to work with all these lovely ladies.

Best wishes on your senior year, Jordan!
