I typically only share my Private Wedding Photography Shot List with pre-booked wedding clients but today I am going to share it with YOU!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mindy at the Top Weddings Expo in Springfield, MO. I always have the Brides that I meet fill out a little card with some fun facts about themselves and I was inspired to see that Mindy is a social worker. I believe this is one of the most important jobs in our area, taking care of those who need our support and protection. Then I met Mason and he was every bit as fun and outgoing as Mindy described. I can tell that these two will do great things

Venue: Dooley's Chapel on the Lake, Branson, MO Catering: Simply Delicious Floral: Rosewood Floral Dooley's Chapel delivered yet another epic wedding and the Bride and Groom could not have been more awesome to work with! I cannot say enough about this family...down to earth, humble and they really made all of the vendors feel like part of the family. We even had some good luck rain showers that made everyone laugh and smile ...and sometimes run for cover. All in all, this w

Venue: Top of the Rock, Branson, MO It still amazes me how Kartik was able to pull such an epic surprise for Brandy without her having a clue! It was truly a blessing from God that everything came together so perfectly. Yes, there was rain. Yes, Brandy wasn't going to dress up until her best friend convinced her to. Yes, I was hiding in the bushes lol but in the end, it could not have come together any better. After all, imperfections make for the best memories. How he asked

I often get asked what kind of fun we get up to at the agency. Last Month our Boost Models had the opportunity to shoot at Inner Circle Vodka Bar in Springfield, MO! You may have heard of Inner Circle if you've ever been to Tulsa (in my opinion, it's the talk of the town;-). This unique bar specializes in Infused Vodka created from high-quality fresh products. Along with their signature infused vodkas, they offer a full bar, awesome food and a huge patio (with outdoor games t

It has been long overdue for me to post and I thought that I would start by sharing some of the AWESOME places and people that I got to photograph this Holiday Season! You guys the Ozarks got snow before Christmas this year!! I was honored to take snowy pictures of The Cabins at Maple Rock. This tornado proof cabin looks like it's made of Logs but guess what? It's actually poured concrete and lots of rebar! Yes, it is for sale! #cabinsatmaplerock #lanaraquelphoto I also got t

Summer in the Ozark is a Magical Time. You can hear the crickets, cicadas and frogs the moment the sun goes down and there is rarely a shortage of Lightening Bugs. These photos were taken in Branson Missouri just a couple of weeks before sweet Melody Lorena was born. A maternity shoot at sunset under a waterfall is such a dream. Loved every minute of this session! #midwestphotoshoot #maternityshoot #missouriphotoshoot #mamatobe #maternity #husbandandwife #expecting #babyonthe

It's not every day I get invited to such a beautiful setting in the middle of the Ozark country-side. Alison and Roland tied the knot at her parent's home in Rogersville that was constructed by a master builder. The home was designed to make the owner feel "at one with nature" and they certainly accomplished just that and more! The love within their tight-knit family was so tangible and I couldn't help but get choked up seeing Roland's face as Alison walked down the aisle. I

I've known Emily for almost 7 years now so I'm sure you will not be surprised when you hear me say, it makes my heart jump for joy to know that she's finally found the man of her dreams! Both of us girls went through many ups and downs together over the years...hurtful breakups, confusing times and also adventures like riding motorcycles (I was always the back passenger lol) and spelunking in abandoned caves at night. My husband and I tied the knot in 2018 and shortly afterwa

Hello friend! I wanted to share some joyful news with you during this quarantine season (that's right, I say "season" because all too often we forget that this pandemic is not going to last forever). Lets talk about Love...that fuzzy, ooey gooey thing that all of us crave deep down but many of us have no idea how to acquire or keep. I have some good news for you. Love is always inside of you whether you feel it or not. If you want to feel more love, simply be more loving to o

While this is one of my older shoots, I have especially enjoyed sharing it lately because I think that we all need some happy reminders during this pandemic! Statistics say that the divorce and suicide rates are going to go up but maybe if we all reach out to one another and share positivity, we can help in some way. In my opinion, we need to get back to focusing on our true nature....LOVE. That's right folks, we were created with love but sometimes we forget this simple fa

When I first met Jill Jamieson, I was traveling down a difficult, confusing road. God brought Jill into my life at just the right time. I was invited to a women's retreat down in beautiful Arkansas and it just so happens, Jill was my group leader for the weekend. As I listened to her Testimony, I realized that we all have scars and I could easily relate to her battles. So many times we hide our scars from others because we are afraid or ashamed... but not Jill. She was so bol
