You never know what you're going to get when you schedule an outdoor photo session in February in Springfield, MO but thankfully we lucked out! We had to fight the wind a bit but I've had colder sessions in April and November than I did during Sidneys super fun senior session.
Baby Emilia - Nixa Newborn Photography
There is nothing more precious than a fresh barely a week old baby girl. Add a mermaid outfit and it's just TOO much. My job is the best!
Sibling Photo Shoot
It was so fun working with this group of awesome siblings who all have great things in store for them! I feel like they belong on the cover of a newspaper or something! When it's freezing and cold outside, we get creative with indoor location possibilities. Thanks to University Plaza Hotel for letting us shoot these in their lobby!
Chris Portfolio
Chris is my youngest brothers best friend and basically an adopted part of my family. He's working really hard at college right now and wanted to surprise his mom with some new photos of himself as well as start a small portfolio for some modeling jobs to earn some extra money. We got to work inside since it was freezing and pouring rain on the day of his shoot and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out!
Ollis Akers Arney Corporate Head Shots
I take a LOT of corporate head shots. And they are honestly one of my favorite things! I love the challenge of creating an image my subject will love that looks modern and show they have a great personality. I do my best to avoid stiff looking and outdated photos and provide a fresh twist on the typical head shot. Sometimes companies need that classic look though and I am happy to provide that. Here is just a small sample of some of the head shots I got to take for the lovely people who work at Ollis Akers Arney.
Tyler Family Photos
This family is SOOO special to me. I love getting to take their family photos every year. They have the biggest hearts of anyone I know and there is always a lot of laughter at their photo sessions.
Megan G Maternity Session
I Love, love, LOVE maternity sessions. Mamas to be are so beautiful and literally full of life! I especially love getting to be creative and take some more artistic photos at these kind of sessions. Megan ROCKED hers. What an absolutely beautiful little mama.
Tahnee - Nixa 2016 High School Senior Photos
I had a blast working with Tahnee! She is such a sweet girl. We took photos at one of my favorite little spots and I'm so happy with how they turned out.

Gold and Rust and Orange and sunshine make for the perfect fall photo session. Jessica had the perfect outfits for this autumn photo shoot and I had so much fun taking her photos!

I had so much fun working with Audrey! We had a beautiful fall day with perfect autumn colors and I think her personality really shines through in these photos.
Eva - Ozark High Class of 2016
I had a blast working with Eva on this cloudy fall day! We went to several locations I've never shot at before and I'm loving the outcome! Plus, check out her awesome Rapunzel hair! Gorgeous!
Chris and Michelle's Engagement Photos
One of my first official shoots in Kansas City, I had so much fun working with this lovely couple (and going out to dinner with them after their shoot)
The Strathdee Family
I've known Robin and James for a long time and I was so excited when Robin contacted me about family photos saying that she'd like to do some photos with a creative twist, as well as some more classic family pictures.
This family is a big fan of Crossfit so incorporating that into their photo shoot was only natural! I love showcasing my clients unique personalities.
The Haik Family
It was a pleasure to work with this family again on a beautiful fall day. The fall colors weren't quite at their peak yet so we enhanced them a little in post-processing. I love how these turned out!
Rook Family Photos
Julia - Kickapoo High School Senior Class of 2016
I had so much fun taking Julia's Senior Photos! We had such a variety of outfits and locations. I got my own private cello concert and I LOVED her classic Audrey Hepburn feel. Plus, we had perfect weather, a princess dress and glitter. So. Much. Fun.
Daniel Adkins - Central High School Senior Class of 2016
It was a pleasure to work with Daniel he is a smart, determined and creative young man! He is graduating early and leaving to join the Marines. Good luck in all of your future endeavors!

I was so excited to be able to photograph this wedding. I knew it would be beautiful and tons of fun as well. I wasn't disappointed. Great people, lots of love and happiness and fun. And a beautiful sunset to boot. Congrats Dakota and Hannah!
Linville Family
Family photos for the awesome Linville Family! What better time to update the family pics, since Brett is graduating this year and will be headed off to college soon? Always a pleasure to photograph this family.

I've had the pleasure of working with the Linville Family on several different occasions now. It was so fun taking Brett's pictures and I think they turned out awesome!
