The Bauman Family

This was a get-together for a 5oth Anniversary, and I thought it was very sweet that they wanted family pictures of everyone. We did the big group, the "couple of honor", and all the smaller family groups.





50 years together...I think that is amazing! :)












Newly engaged!




So we had both ends of the spectrum when it comes to marriage! Congratulations to both couples, and thanks to the rest of you for allowing me to spend a little time with your family and take your pictures!

Carter is ONE!

I love it when my clients do the "Baby, Watch Me Grow" plan that I offer. I get to know the baby all throughout his or her first year of life and get to know the family as well. I love having this kind of relationship with my clients...I consider them friends! :)
Carter was one of my first little guys to do this, and I got to photograph him 4 times over his first year of life.
Here he is at 3 months:



And at 6 months:


At 9 months:


And now here he is, he just turned one year old!











And of course we had to have a cake smash! I love these!











Yay! What a great mess!
Thanks for letting me take Carter's photos for his first year of life! I hope to see you all again in the future for more of his milestones! :)

Danielle & Steve's Wedding

It's funny sometimes how things come back around. I used to babysit Danielle when she and her sister Brittany were little girls, and now here she is, all grown up and married! Her mom and mine are old high school friends, so there is a lot of history there!
We drove the Columbia, MO to the University of Missouri campus where the wedding took place. What a beautiful location for a wedding, and for GREAT pictures! We had so much fun, I could have shot there all day long!





The bride wore a pair of beautiful Manolo Blahnik's so there is a lot of focus on the shoes... :)


Here's the handsome groom:




The absolutely gorgeous bride:




Just love this one of the bride laughing with her mom!



















These last 2 of Danielle are my absolute favorites:












Couldn't decide which of these sunflare ones I liked better...


These are what are known on Mizzou campus as "the Columns". Apparently they used to be the front of a building but a long time ago there was a fire and all that was left was the columns. They made for a great photo spot! (Oh, and notice the hot air balloon!)











Thanks so much for such a fun day and allowing me to have such a special part in your big day! My assistants and I had a great time!
Congrats!
