The Thieret Family {Nashville Dog Photographer}

On the blog this week is another fun family photography session near my hometown in Cape Girardeau, Missouri!

Nicki and I go way back -- we've known each other since pre-kindergarten! I love getting the chance to work with her, her husband Jeff, their two boys (Jake and Zach) and their sweet pups (Cooper and Pepper). 

Cooper is a 7-year-old lab mix rescue from the Humane Society in Pine Bluff Arkansas. He's very laid back and loves to be petted while laying next to you. And if you stop for even a moment, he'll keep nudging you with his nose until you start again. Unfortunately, he also loves to roll in cow dung -- definitely not a fun thing to clean up!

Pepper is a 3-year-old west highland terrier and the only other gal in the house. She's feisty, doesn't realize how small she is, and loves being the dominant dog. She can also run like the wind, which makes it hard to catch her when necessary. Thankfully, she's a cuddler, and loves to snuggle with Nicki at the end of the day. 

I hope you enjoy these favorites from their family session!

Kia & Austin {Southeast Missouri Wedding Photographer}

This wedding is extra special to me because it was filled with my own family & friends from my hometown in Missouri. Kia is my first cousin, and I've looked forward to photographing her & Austin's wedding day for a very long time. Kia was a gorgeous bride - her dress from the White Room here in Nashville was amazing and fit her style perfectly - and Austin was as handsome as ever in his gray tux!

Kia & Austin's wedding day was filled with the challenges of weather that forced them to move indoors after having planned an outdoor ceremony, but the skies cleared for us to be able to go to their outdoor site for all their bridal party photos. I'm so glad it did because they are some of my all time favorites!

I loved being a part of this day with them, and I hope you enjoy their blog post today - it's so much fun reliving the day through their photos!

Lots of wedding gorgeousness ahead - and I really had to make myself stop including more and more photos - love this wedding & this couple :)

Enjoy!

The Roth Family! {Southeast Missouri Family Photography}

This little girl is just the cutest, and I'm not just saying that because she happens to be my cousin either - she IS the cutest! We had such a great time doing this family session while I was back home in Southeast Missouri last weekend. This was an especially fun place to do their family photos, since it wasn't all that long ago I was doing Erin & Shawn's wedding photos here! Another fun fact, there were a lot of kittens at this location - maybe 15 or more. Three of them followed us everywhere and little Paige is not such a huge fan - poor thing is afraid of kittens! It was pretty funny though, and a couple of them snuck into a few shots as well!

Enjoy the preview!
