Things I Love {2012 Recap} Springfield, MO Photographers

2012 has been quite the adventure! We have photographed everything from a backyard wedding to a old police station reception. Photography took us to different states and cities and I am so grateful for all the fun we had. A big THANK YOU to all of our wonderful portrait and wedding clients. I can't express enough gratitude to you all! :-) Below is a little recap of where we traveled and who we've photographed. When I started to put this post together, I realized I could spend a week gathering images from all that we've done this year. Below are just a few ;-) Love and hugs to you all!

Lots of instagrams and plenty of time spent in photobooths ;-) @christinebonnivier @eliseabigailphoto @alissa_beaty

We exhibited in 4 local Bridal Shows

We were featured in Metropolitan Bridal Magazine TWICE :-)

Then a whole lot of time spent in the office behind the computer. haha! It was all worth it because we blessed 30 couples & countless families with beautiful photographs :-) 

LOVE!

Lord knows how many images we took!!!

We traveled to St. Louis, Kansas City, Philadelphia & Wichita to photograph nuptials 

Yes, I actually spent 5 hours on a bicycle this September during Jess & Troy's bicycle tour through St. Louis. It was amazing! 

What makes my job the best...celebrations never disappoint! 

Things I love Thursday: Adieu l'automne! {Christmas 2012} Springfield, MO Photographers

Goodbye Fall! It's officially the holiday season! Time to deck the halls with disco balls! ;-) I've been so blessed to have photographed so many wonderful families & couples this fall season (and all year, for that matter). It's been go, go, go and I'm really looking forward to relaxing and spending time with friends and family these next few weeks. That is why I love Christmas :-) Everything is cheerful, sparkly, cozy and peaceful & I love it. ;-) I have all of my shopping done, as we are celebrating Christmas next week here in Missouri with Levi's family. Christmas day we will be in Pennsylvania with my family...I'm so excited! This past week or so I've been hard at work with plans & goals for 2013. There is an overwhelming amount to do but I know it will all be so worth it. We're doing a complete re-brand...logo, website, blog, business cards, bridal show booth and it's been such a great experience so far. There's a bit of a learning curve with the process and I'm really thankful for all those who have helped me thus far. Pretty exciting stuff! I'm looking forward to New Years day when we officially launch! We'll be having a cyber launch party and will be giveaway something super sweet, so be on the look out! ;-) xo-chris

Lauren & Craig {Married Session} Kansas City, MO Photographers

Lauren & Craig wed in Springfield, MO in November and decided they wanted to do a 'Married Session' post wedding where they live in Kansas City. What a fabulous idea, right?! I was down! ;-) It was 70 degrees outside and other than a few clouds, it was quite a spectacular December day. It was a lot of fun getting to know these two and I'm so glad they included me in their wedding festivities AND newlywed love. Enjoy your Christmas! Thanks for having me in KC! :-)
