I take pictures because I'm driven to create. I really like making normal people look their best, so you probably won't see any gorgeous models in my portfolio. Just regular people who look like gorgeous models. For many people, my images will be a defining point in their self-image. I take that seriously, and I treat them with a respect befitting the beauty I see in all people.

**Beauty * Respect * Love * Appreciation**
That's what I strive to create and the spirit with which I approach those for whom I'm privledged to make portraits.

Sara + Brian = Engaged! - {Missouri Wedding Photographer}

Meet Sara and Brian


08-25-sara-brian3

Sara and Brian are now a super special couple to me. I'll explain in a moment. But first I have to preface with the fact that we TRIED to work together for their wedding, but I was already booked. Which was a real bummer because I think they are really sweet and kind people.

However, Sara's brother is getting married next year, and I'll be shooting that one, so I will get to see Sara and Brian again soon.


We went out to the college like I do about 50% of my engagement shoots. I do this because most of my couples have gone to school here in Maryville and I feel like a photo on the kissing bridge, and around the pond are just darn near REQUIRED.

Wanna know how to tell when a very conservative guy really, really loves his girl? He'll let you take cutesy smoochy shots like this one:

In fact, he was saying "I can just FEEL the cute."
Thank you Brian for playing along. See how cute you look!? :)

The pond is very pretty and always well landscaped. The college grounds keepers do such a beautiful job. There's 2 waterfalls on the other end, and a really cool rock wall that I shoot from a lot. You can get some really neat angles.


This is the second to the last photo I took:

30 seconds later, I was laying on the ground writhing in pain cuz I'm stupid. I tripped over said rock wall and broke my foot. Technically I just cracked it and sprained it. I'll settle for that. I hate to see what a big break feels like.

Anyway, Brian and Sara stayed with me until my husband showed up, and Brian even helped tote my big butt to the car so I could get to the emergency room.

Brian. You rock.

Both of you, I'm sorry. I'm normally not so lame and a killjoy. LOL!
