Tender Portraits Photography: Art and football ~ St. Joseph MO Photographer

The best things about being a mom is when I look at my children and see the growth that has occurred over time.  I can say to myself, “I did that. Those kids come from me, I’m a part of who they are.”  My daughter, the artist, that can take a blank sheet of paper...

This lovely couple came back to finish up their session from the past harvest season.  The fog had risen once again but surrounded us with stunning background.  Aside from the muddy mess, I am in love with the final look of their portrait art.  I just may photograph a bit more in this fog; maybe...

Tender Portraits Photography: Snuggles ~ St. Joseph MO Photographer

Davina wanted her picture taken the other day, as well as her brother’s so we got right to it.  It’s rare moments when she asks me to do something for her, usually it’s more, “I can do it myself, MOM!” (emphasis on mom w/ eye roll)  I jumped at the chance to get my pretty...
