A Princess Turns 1 - Babies by Shutters Photography

Those of you who follow my blog have seen this little cutie featured before. In fact, I believe this will be her 3rd appearance on the Shutters' Blog, and she's just turned 1. That puts little Miss Madisyn close to the record of 'shout outs' on the blog, rivaled only by my built in models (my niece and nephew). With baby blues like these, I'm sure no one minds repeat of this cutie though.

So, without further ado, let me present to you a few shots from Madi's 1 year shoot. Congrats on turning 1 Madi!

MUAH!

Miss Haley and Mr Troy - Senior Portraits by Shutters Photography

While I traditionally try to give every client their own posting, I couldn't help myself in combining these next two featured Seniors into one, large and fun-filled post. While we didn't shoot these sessions together... both Troy and Haley have some similarities in my eyes. You see, not only did they both swim for me in my swim team coaching years, they also both have their own very unique personalities, that compliment each others'.

Haley, with her bright green eyes, and Troy with his baby blues, both are ornery - which anyone that knows me, knows I LOVE. They are both true to themselves. Neither have a shy bone in their being, and both made some of the most ridiculous poses that I've ever shot, which they will probably pretend to hate me for sharing (so I'll half halfheartedly apologize now). :)

Congratulations and good luck to both of you on your Senior year! I can't believe how grown up you are!!!!

Byron - Senior Sessions by Shutters Photography

I've had the pleasure of shooting many Seniors this year, many of whom have made me smile and laugh throughout our sessions. However, the senior featured in this post takes the trophy for having the most contagious smile I've quite possibly ever seen. Don't get me wrong, I think all of my client's smiles are beautiful (even those that swear they can't smile - hmmm mmmmm - Jake), but something about Byron's smile simply gives me a HUGE grin every time I see it. Hopefully it does the same for you on this bit of a gloomy Monday morning!

Tyler's Turn - Senior Portraits by Shutters Photography

Our next featured senior is a pretty cool cat (yes, that can be a pun on Wildcat I suppose). I had a really great time 'shooting' Tyler, who just moved to Harrisonville during his high school career, despite some pretty brisk winds popping through on his photo day. With a bit of photo shopping to a red nose however, all was well. I'm just thankful Tyler had a sharp wit and fast tongue to keep me laughing, as I was FREEZING!

Congrats on your senior year Tyler!

Brooke Part Deux - Senior Portraits by Shutters

You've all seen Brooke before, but two weekends ago marked shoot #2 for Brooke (whose sessions we slit with cousin Tim). I'm not sure if she keeps getting prettier, or if we just found even better backgrounds for her than before, but this short trip had big results. Here are some of my favorite shots from this Homecoming candidate's 2nd big photo day!

A Wedding Story - Wedding Photography by Shutters

Let me start off this post by allowing me to brag for a bit. Not only do I get to share in people's memories while simply doing my job, I have to say that I have been seriously blessed with some really amazing clients. This next couple is no exception. Fun and funny. Relaxed. Inviting. Everything you can ask for in a couple you get the pleasure of covering on their big day. You've seen them here on the blog from their engagement photos, and now they make it back again with beautiful images from their wedding day!

From the gorgeous colors, to the unforgettable party bus ride to the reception, to the first dances and the most gorgeous wedding cake I've seen in person to date, I believe this day turned out exactly as they wanted - minus abnormally cold weather during our outdoor sessions! Even that turned out alright however, and I'm glad, as they are definitely a desiring couple.

Congratulations Amanda and Tony!!!!!
