{Newborn}: Ruby Eleanor

I can't believe how long it's been since I first met Laura & Jason for coffee. Almost three years ago we shot engagement photos, then their wedding photos, so naturally here we are shooting their newborn baby's photos! Baby Ruby is just 8 days old in these pics and she was SUCH a sweet baby for our shoot! Congratulations, Laura & Jason!!!

{Family}: Felts Clan

I hope y'all have some extra time today because narrowing down photos of my own niece and nephew is nearly impossible - thus this is a ridiculously lengthy post. I went home for my mom's birthday and loved spending time with this whole crew. Addie can totally say my name, Quinn can tell me everything I ever wanted to know about Star Wars and it was wonderful to be at home at my parents' house to nurse a horrible winter cold. My time with these folks is always wonderful but this trip was especially refreshing. Looking forward to summer weddings in Missouri and more visits with the fam.

Bath time!

Quinn turned 5 two weeks ago so these light sabers are totally old news but he sure loved them that day.

Using "the force" to its full effect.

Addie and Mom join in ;)

He knows to be gentle and not to play as hard with Addie as he does with his Dad. 

He'll put his hand out and say "gentle force!"

{Family}: Amanda, Brennan & Kyler

It was so great to meet with with Mandy, Brennan and Kyler again on my last trip to Missouri. We were hoping for a huge Missouri rainstorm to clear, but
 once the tornado sirens went off we decided to just have a cozy family session indoors.  And I'm so glad we did! I think we really got to capture these three 
as they truly are. Kyler just turned 2 and is getting so big and so talkative. I love all of these shots, but here are my favorites!

Had to have a little fun playing in the rain outside :)
