Tiny humans and a fluffy cow

Tiny humans. One very fluffy cow. Absolute magical chaos

These mini-sessions with Waffles, the mini Highland cow from Meyer Mini Farms, were equal parts unpredictable and unforgettable. Littles tend not to sit still or could be crying or laughing, cows who are literally created to eat grass and not pose perfectly, and right in between the wiggles, snack bribes, and hungry cow moments—genuine cuteness you couldn’t pose if you tried.

Proof that perfection is overrated—and the real magic lives in the fun, chaotic moments, and I just can’t get enough of this cuteness! See some favorites from each session:

Spring session with these cuties

Cannot get enough of these cheeks! Little man did not warm up much to me, but boy, does he sure love his big sister. Sibling love like this is the sweetest. Kids are the best.

Getting to know Waffles

A few days ago, I took my babies to meet Waffles and take some photos to promote some upcoming spring mini sessions! I have to share some favorites from the session. My sister, Rachel, came along to help and got her picture with Waffles, too!

My sweet new nephew

I absolutely love photographing babies and I love photographing my family even more! Check out these newborn photos of my new nephew Oliver. He was a wiggler, but once he got settled he was out like a light. We had to do a photo of him on his name blanket just like his older brother and sister too.

This cowboy turned one year old

Weston turned one year old! He wasn’t so sure about getting his photo taken or the lady trying to make him smile behind the camera, but eventually he warmed up and he smiled at the crazy lady (aka me). Happy Birthday Weston!

Sleeping cutie

A quick 1-month milestone session with this little cutie - he was the perfect model!

Rainbow pastel one year old cake smash!

A team effort with the parents of this sweet girl to create this gorgeous setup for this cake smash session. I rented a local studio off Historic Main Street in St. Charles, MO and set up the balloon arch and cake. The birthday girl quickly dug into her cake made by her mom. It was so hard to narrow these down! The photos turned out so great. Happy first birthday to this girly!
