Stabenow Family Photos

A few days ago, I had the opportunity to take photos for the Stabenow family. Randy had been looking for a photographer to take his family's holiday photos and contacted me to do so. It was a COLD day but we were up for it! Randy's family was already gathering that day for their Thanksgiving dinner, so I headed over to their house for the session. The photos below are some of my favorite shots. I love these because they represent so much joy and love.

 

                         

Stabenow family, thank you all so much for braving the cold weather and allowing me to take your family photos this year. Enjoy!

All the best,

Foster Family Photos

About a week ago, I had the opportunity to take photos for the Foster family. Brandon and Kelsi are good friends of ours. In fact, I am lucky enough to have taken their maternity pictures as well as Charley's newborn pictures over a year and a half ago! It is so much fun to watch Charley grow but even more fun to capture her adorable little personality through the lens! 

I really enjoyed getting to spend some time with the rest of Brandon and Kelsi's family as well. One of my favorite things about photography is getting to witness the love of a family and to capture genuine interactions and emotions between family members. 

It was such a windy day and a little bit cold but I really LOVE how these photos turned out. There is so much JOY in this family! 

Here are some of my favorites.

Brandon and Kelsi brought their adorable puppy along. Charley and Elly are best friends! These next couple of photos just melt my heart!

All the best,

MC

Jaxton is 1! + The Ponzer Family Photos | Family

As I finish editing the photos of the Ponzer family, I am in awe of how much Jaxton has grown over the course of a year. I had the privilege of taking Jaxton's newborn pictures around this time last year and he was our little Santa Baby!

I was also able to take his 6 month pictures and it has just been so fun to watch him grow over the past year! For Jaxton's 1 year session, we went over to Corporate Woods with some balloons and had a blast! Here are some of my favorite photos of Jaxton and this wonderful family!

This little guy loves to crawl and move around! I had so much fun following him around with my camera, getting some nice action shots! ;)

Jaxton is such a happy, content baby! Philip and Charissa told me that if he ever does get a little fussy, he loves to be flipped upside down! It cheers him right up! 

I had so much fun at this session and have truly enjoyed getting to know this family.

Enjoy!

All The Best,

MC

Matt & Lacy | Engaged

Matt and Lacy are great friends of ours, so when they asked me to take their engagement photos a couple weeks ago it was a no brainer!

Matt proposed to Lacy back in October in Weston, MO. If you've ever been to Weston, you know what a cute town it is, filled with wineries, antiques, and fun places to go have a drink or two!

Matt surprised Lacy with a proposal during a tour at the Green Dirt Farm. When we were discussing places to have their engagement pictures done, it made sense to go back to the place where Matt proposed. So, we loaded up the car and headed to Weston.

I am thrilled with the beauty of these photos. It was such a great experience and I was honored to do it!

We started out at The Saint George Hotel where Matt and Lacy stayed the weekend of the proposal.

Afterward, we moved on to Green Dirt Farm for the remainder of the session.

Lacy owns The Dance Studio in Paola and Louisburg so, we had to get some great shots of these two dancing!

Congratulations to Matt & Lacy! Looking forward to your wedding!
