Tender Portraits: Cowboy Baby Kindermusik~ St. Joseph Mo Child Photographer

It was Cowboy Baby Kindermusik…and all the babies had a blast!  My son was there to join in the fun, and show-off his ‘charming’ skills to the ladies.  My daughter and sister came along to help out, and enjoy the coos and laughter of the young ones.  I set up a small little photo ‘booth’...

Tender Portraits: Creek of love ~ St. Joseph MO Wedding Photographer

My friend and co-worker visited my land for her engagement session with her soon-to-be husband.  What an adorable couple!  And what troopers…they made it through the mud, MONSTER mosquitos and a ride with my daughter (and her chicken…fried, not live).  Custom portraits on the Benitz farm are never boring.    I will say one...

Tender Portraits: Mini-Sessions & a good cause ~ St. Joseph MO Photographer

It’s been wonderful this past week with warm, sunny weather.  The kids and I play outside every day, well past bedtime with bubbles, swinging and holding new baby chicks.  D loves the chicks!  Luke…not so much.  I love how the chicks look in pictures so I thought I’d share a cutie with you.  A reminder...

This gorgeous family came out to play one past evening.  What a truly wonderful time we had!  The light was beautiful, down by the creek was warm and the fields were green.  Don’t you just love spring!  The best part of the session was watching the kids.  It was so evident how much little sis...

Tender Portraits: Laughter in the field ~ St. Joseph MO Child Photographer

Laughter…it truly is the best medicine.  Listening to my children laugh will brighten any day.  Listening to my children laugh with their friends is just as great.  D and K were so much fun this day.  I set out to capture my vision with my camera…and I did that but what I got extra was...
