St. Joseph, MO Birth Photography | Jace’s Birth with slideshow

Friday, February 3, 2012

What a beautiful birth I was able to capture. Sheila and Jim have been friends of mine for quite some time now. I was honored they allowed me to photograph the birth of their son, Jace. All  night and morning long, Sheila gave it her all in attempting to deliver Jace natural, however, Jace made his appearance via emergency c-section later that day. And wow! To experience that, I was left speechless. The nurses and doctors are amazing! Little Jace is adorable. Thank you again, Sheila and Jim, you have a gorgeous little family. xo~Laura

Slideshow…click play to watch.

St. Joseph, MO Photography | Tanner…SOMO

Monday, January 30, 2012

Tanner is an amazing man. I am blessed to be a part of his life. Katie, his sister, is one of the most caring individuals I know. She does so much for Tanner and his friends through SOMO.org (Special Olympics-Missouri). If you haven’t already, please visit their site and take a look around. And should you be out and about town….you may see a few of Tanner’s cards floating around. His image will be on thousands of business-type cards, letting others know why it’s important to be PC and show acceptance to those with disabilities. xo~Laura

St. Joseph, MO Photography | Preslee

Friday, January 27, 2012

Preslee…what a darling little babe. I had so much fun with this session. As an artist I am constantly looking for inspiration, as photographing babies can sometimes be a challenge. However, that wasn’t the case with miss Preslee. She lit up the room with her smile, and her beautiful big eyes. My camera (and myself) simply loved her. Thank you Ashley for bringing your sweet girl in for portraits. It was a pleasure. xo~Laura

St. Joseph, MO Photography | Duncan

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

This little man started out the session as all kids new to me do…a little reserved, exploring the studio but mostly wanting to be close to mom & dad. However, as all kids (new little friends) do, Duncan quickly warmed up and let loose. I was then able to capture the most precious moments for mom and dad. Krystal, thank you for bringing your beautiful little family to me for portraits. I loved getting to know Duncan, and I can’t wait to get together again. xo~Laura
