This precious and staggeringly adorable sweetpea is extra special for me. He’s the little brother of Annabelle’s BFF, and his mom is a super great friend of mine. I have fallen head over heels for Drew’s sweetness, as there is just something so endearing about his perfect wittle face and mellow personality. He even laughs...

Things I Love Thursday: My Family | Liberty, MO Family Lifestyle Photographer
This teacup is a special one. My friend Emily gifted it to her bridesmaids when she married, and while I never asked her about why she chose it, I could imagine why she picked it. Her husband has a German last name, and the teacup itself is imported from Germany. (I love little details like...
Sick. | Liberty, MO Child & Family Photographer
Do you ever start seriously wondering about what is going ON with your kid? Normally, Annabelle is a pretty fun-loving kind of girl. She LOVES her friends, and she especially loves her friend Clare.

Things I Love Thursday | Liberty Missouri Family Photographer
When my husband and I were first married, a package arrived in the mail from my friend Tracy. She was a few years ahead of us in the newlywed department, and her gift to us was a gratitude journal. Being a teacher, she filled out a few pages with examples of how a gratitude journal...

Just Because I Love You | Kansas City Family Photographer
My husband is a stealthy card-giver. He likes to put cards in unexpected places and then hear about it, sometimes days later, when I discover them. This one appeared at the bottom of a laundry basket as I was making my way through the endless pile last night. Sneaky guy. Of course, the inside says,...
Expressions | Parkville, MO Family Photographer
I don’t know what it is about Barbies, but they always seem to be naked. At least at our house. We had grand intentions of our Christmas being entirely a handmade venture – and it was, for the most part, but when I walked past the Target aisle of toys and saw TEN Disney princess...
Turning 30: 30 Things I Want to Do In the Next 30 Years | Kansas City, MO Photographer
So, I turned 30 this past weekend. Many people have asked me how it feels to be turning thirty, emphasizing that I should really grasp the monumental nature of entering …what? The official start to adulthood? The beginning of middle age? From where I stand right now, 30 feels… normal. I love new beginnings, and...
The Princess and the Frog | Liberty, MO Children’s Photographer
Since discovering the Disney princesses a few months ago, Annabelle has become an enraptured fan of sparkly dresses and glittery tiaras. She spends hours acting out the plight of fair maidens who fight villains and find love in the stories and songs of Disney books and movies. It’s her favorite topic. Any grocery store cashier...

I’m so thankful today for my adorable Annabelle, who blesses me each day with her cheerful silliness and (hilarious) observations of the world unfolding around her. Life could not be sweeter!
