We had such a chilly morning for their photos, but we would throw on coats or a blanket when they weren't in front of the camera, and we worked as quickly as we could. They are just so cute! #ChildSession #SmithvillePhotography #SmithvilleHistoricalSociety #SmithvilleCreek #Photography

After having to reschedule their family session in October, we ended up having to push it into early November. And I am honestly so glad we did . . . we ended up with the most gorgeous fall colors for the backdrop for Chad & Molly and their kids' photos. The golden late afternoon lighting could not have been more beautiful. #FamilySessions #SmithvillePhotography #SmithvilleHistoricalSociety #SmithvilleCreek #Photography #ChildSession

Goodness, we flew through Selena's Senior session . . . not because we were trying to hurry or because the weather was cold, but because she just was the sweetest & easiest model to work with. Selena is a Senior at Norton High School, and we met up at the Smithville Historical Society for her photos. We still had beautiful fall colors and the cloud cover gave us perfectly diffused lighting for this gorgeous young lady. #NortonSenior #SmithvillePhotography #SmithvilleHistori

I met up with this gorgeous family several weeks ago for their annual family photos . . . I've been photographing them since Harris was a newborn, and now the kiddos are in school/preK and are growing like crazy. We had the perfect evening for photos, and I loved catching up with this sweet family again. #FamilySessions #ChildSession #SmithvillePhotography #SmithvilleHistoricalSociety #SmithvilleCreek #Photography

This little guy had me laughing--he is such a little ball of energy and was wiggling and giggling his way through his entire birthday session. It's like he just couldn't hold still longer than about 2 seconds before something needed to move. Either waving his little hands, dancing around, or giving us a funny expression. Brayden is such a cutie, and I loved meeting him and his family for his 1st birthday photos! #ChildSession #1yrSession #1stBirthday #SmithvilleHistoricalS

This little guy is such a bundle of cuteness, and even though he fell asleep on the way to his birthday session, he woke up full of smiles for me . . . I met up with him and his momma at the Smithville Historical area, and then we finished up down at the creek. I have so many favorites to share with you! He was loving being splashed with water by his momma (& it brought out the biggest smiles!) Happy 1st birthday, Duke! #ChildSession #MilestoneSession #GrowWithMeSession #1st

This little guy is just as cute as can be and is 110% boy . . . Landon is 3 years old already, and was loving exploring the location his mom chose for his milestone session. A little boy's paradise. Unlimited rocks and even some puddles to play in :) Enjoy the cuteness! #Photography #SmithvillePhotography #SmithvilleHistoricalSociety #SmithvilleCreek #ChildSession #MilestoneSession #3yrs

I'm in denial around here that we are already starting to gear up for the next school year (my boys will not even let me mention that 's' word yet). But when you are a Senior, you need to start thinking ahead more so than in previous years, and with that comes Senior photos and the excitement of this finally being your LAST year of high school! I met up with Gage and his mom several weeks ago for an evening session, and he was the easiest guy to photograph. Gage has got the

Drew is my last Senior for this fall, and I couldn't think of a better young man to finish with. We get to go to church with him & his family, and you won't find a sweeter family or a more classy young man. Drew is finishing out his Senior year at Waynedale, and I can't wait to see the path God has for him after he graduates . . . Drew's family met up with us at the end of the his Senior session, so we grabbed a few family photos . . . #SeniorSession #FamilyMiniSessions #S

I love getting to see this sweet family every year, and I can't believe how quickly little Liam is growing up. They made my job super easy when I met up with them several weeks ago, and we had the perfect evening for photos . . . He has got the cutest little smile . . . #FamilySessions #ChildSession #SmithvilleCreek #SmithvilleHistoricalSociety #SmithvillePhotography #Photography

Sometimes, when kiddos come back for their 1yr. photos, they look a lot like they did as newborns. Obviously, they are a lot bigger and they have filled out and changed their looks some, but you can still see some of those same facial features they had as a baby. Little Clayton looks like a totally different boy, though, and I didn't even recognize him! He had almost zero hair as a newborn, and now he is sporting a head full of dark brown hair. He is just as cute as ever,

Fall is filling up quickly with Seniors, and they are definitely my easiest models. I so remember this stage of life . . . there is lots of excitement at the thought of this being your LAST year of high school mixed with just a little bit of nervousness at the thought of that routine of the past 13 years coming to an end (I'm pretty sure the joy of finishing up with high school was WAY higher, though :) Cameron is just starting his Senior year at Waynedale, and was as easy t

He is the cutest little birthday boy, and he loves anything having to do with tractors. When his momma mentioned bringing along a little pedal tractor to include in his session, I knew it would be perfect. Solomon was a bit stingy with sharing his smiles, but we got some cute ones anyways . . . so many favorites from his session! One of my favorites! Happy 1st birthday, sweet boy! #ChildSession #MilestoneSession #1yrSession #1stBirthday #SmithvillePhotography #SmithvilleCre

Rob & Mindy have the sweetest family, and I loved having them in front of my camera again. The boys are growing so quickly, and they are just several years behind our crew of 3 boys. We met up in Smithville at the little historical area, and then headed down to the creek to finish up . . . #FamilySessions #ChildSession #SmithvillePhotography #Photography #SmithvilleHistoricalSociety #SmithvilleCreek

Lane just celebrated his 3rd birthday, and is a little bundle of all-boy. He was so sweet in front of the camera, and I loved getting to capture that fun little personality of his . . . We finished up down at the creek, and I'm pretty sure he could've spent the rest of the day tossing rocks into the water . . . #ChildSession #MilestoneSession #3yrSession #Photography #SmithvilleHistoricalSociety #SmithvillePhotography #SmithvilleCreek

This little guy was all smiles for his milestone mini session. He seriously made my job so easy, and I loved having him in front of my camera . . . #ChildSession #MilestoneSession #ChildMiniSession #MiniSessions #4yrSession #SmithvilleHistoricalSociety #SmithvilleCreek #SmithvillePhotography #Photography

I first met Eric & Jaime last year, and they just added a sweet little boy to their already sweet family. Loved seeing them again and getting to meet little Moxon . . . These two are just adorable . . . SaveSaveSave #FamilySessions #ChildSession #CreekSession #SmithvillePhotography #SmithvilleCreek #Photography

I get to see this beautiful family each year for photos, and this time around, Bob & Chrissy opted to wait for fall and have a different scenery for the background (usually, I photograph them in the spring). The kiddos just keep growing, and we had a fun morning for photos. Dominic has the most contagious smile . . . These two ❤️ #FamilySessions #ChildSession #Photography #SmithvillePhotography #CreekSession

I've been photographing these cute kiddos since they were babies, and I love having them in front of my camera each year . . . Raider & Maverick are such handsome little guys, and there are lots of favorites to share! Once we were done with portraits, we let the boys venture into the creek a bit . . . And the best part . . . tossing rocks into the water and seeing how big of a splash they could make. #ChildSession #4yrSession #2yrSessions #SmithvillePhotography #Photography #

It's been several years since I last got to photograph this little guy . . . Lucas is now 4 1/2 and is just as cute as ever. #ChildSession #MilestoneSession #SmithvillePhotography #CreekSession #Photography #4yrSession
