Family Reunion in Branson
Posted by: | CommentsWe did a family reunion in Branson this past weekend. They all met up from around the country at some awesome cabins in Westgate Branson Woods. It was O.D. and Helen’s 50th wedding anniversary! How fantastic is that?! Here’s a few sneak peeks from Saturday. It was a blast working with you all and I hope we can do it again sometime. Maybe I’ll have all your names memorized by then! haha!
The Jones Family
Posted by: | CommentsThe Jones family came down to snag some Pure Captures Mother’s Day specialness (it was actually rescheduled from last Saturday when it was pouring rain & storming!) These two kiddos were too cute….I just love that big-cheek baby grin in the last shot of the boys together! My own little big-cheeked boy came with us on the shoot and thought the Jones family was hilarious in the hammock. He kept laughing at them from his stroller….you can see why!
Thanks for coming down, guys – it was great to finally meet you! Your boys are just adorable! I look forward to mine being so fun and playful at those ages!
Patrick’s Chickie pics….Round One!
Posted by: | CommentsThe benefit of having a baby around all the time is that whenever one photo shoot doesn’t work out due to their mood, you can always try again tomorrow! So….this is Round One. Round two with his friend Branch turned out much better & will be forthcoming! Thanks to my sister Catherine, who was visiting last week, for taking some of these family shots, herding chickens, and restraining the escapee dog.
We start our story with some mild baby amusement….
Then we move on to some grass-eating…
He finally gets one close enough to catch…
Me: “omg! Get it away from him!”
Good call, chickie…
Chickens = SAVED! Sorry, Cat, I just had to put this one up!
Pretty sure the dog is happier than Patrick by this point.
So we did some tossing….
That worked, and then later, we took pictures with Daddy and Mommy!
FAVORITE!
Sophia’s One-Year Session
Posted by: | CommentsWe were so glad to see Erin, Adam, and Sophia once again. We did her 4 1/2 month photos and she has changed so much. I guess that’s what babies do, right? We were talking about how cliche it is that everyone says, “They grow so fast!” but it’s SO true. Now Sophia is standing, whereas last time she was just learning how to stay propped up on a pillow without falling over. She’s also saying a few words, including “dog” – haha! We definitely had a great time once again. We laughed so hard when we brought out the baby chicks! I had to bump up my shutter speed because I was afraid my uncontrollable laughter would cause the camera to shake too much. One of the baby chicks made the mistake of getting caught by Sophia. It was definitely cheeping quite loudly. It got a little squeezed…lol, poor chickies!
Thanks again for a great session, guys!
Branch’s 6ish-month baby shoot
Posted by: | CommentsWe had the pleasure of taking a few maternity pictures of these three back in July when we went to hang out one summer evening at the creek. I can’t believe how fast time flies! Patrick & Branch will have many fun times in the future, I’m sure. I’ll probably post a few of them on Patrick’s blog later this week.
Have I said how much I loooove doing in-home sessions? We have been to Matthew & Lacy’s house quite a few times, so I knew they had lots of fun nooks to work with. And Branch just cracks me up with his silly baby-ness! I love how these turned out – the lighting was great!

Hi-larious!

Birthday lunch at Tea Bar and Bites
Posted by: | CommentsThis was from Rebecca’s birthday in January. I was going through some personal pics and they looked like they would make a fun blog post! We went to Tea Bar and Bites, one of her favorite places to eat in Springfield. The food is amazing, fresh, and made from scratch. (Unfortunately, we have no food pics this time because we had just brought the camera in from the cold car and had to wait for it to de-fog, and we didn’t want to let our delicious food get cold! That just means we have to go back, though, right?)
