Robbie & Nikki| Sticky Situation | Weston, MO Maternity Photography

jynzz — Fri, 06 Dec 2013 18:09:49 +0000

I’m always nervous when meeting first time clients, and when I met Robbie and Nikki there was no exception. The session was going wonderfully and we were getting lots of cute images. They changed into their second outfit, and I suggested we walk up to do some poses in the tall grass. Great idea, right? I thought so!

I instructed them into a small clearing, and then backed up to frame the shot. As I was adjusting my camera settings I noticed both of them were frantically wiping at their jeans. It was then that I looked down and noticed that I was covered in “stick tights” from my waist to my toes! As were they! If you have never ran into these little things count yourself lucky! They do not just “wipe off” hence the nickname “stick tights.”

I suggested we go ahead and finish that location and pose, and then we spent the next 15-20+ minutes picking them off. I wasn’t worried about me, so I helped poor Nikki, who I’m sure wasn’t expecting to get that up close and personal! Needless to say, I was mortified and felt terrible! Here I am, just meeting this couple, and I stick them in a bazillion stick tights. It was a little hard to laugh then, but I hope you enjoy a little chuckle at our misfortune. And, in the future, I will be sure to look for these BEFORE sending clients into the weeds!

Thank you Robbie & Nikki for choosing me to document your pregnancy (and for being good sports about the mess)! I can’t wait to meet your little one!

I met this family 2 years ago when I had the pleasure of photographing big sister’s first year. I can’t wait to watch little Ava grow over the next year.

I first met this family back in March 2010 for big sister Maddie’s Easter portraits. I have enjoyed capturing the milestones for this family over the last 3 years, including the newborn and first year of their second daughter Ally, and most recently, their “mo-mo” girls born in April.

“Mo-mo twins” are mono-amniotic which means the babies are in the same sac in the womb and the pregnancy is very high risk. Emily, the mama, went inpatient back in January, and was there for 10 weeks an hour from home. I admire the strength and sacrifice this family made to make sure the twins were healthy! Read more about their journey on SheKnows.

I’m honored to be their family photographer and watching their family grow!

Thank you, Emily and Eric.

Sweet Sisters, Lydia and Piper {St. Joseph, MO Family Photographer}

I first started photographing this family 3 years ago when Lydia was born, and I had the great privilege of photographing Piper’s newborn stage as well.

Lydia has quite the personality and be-bopped out of her room decked out in diva gear while we were calming Piper so I captured a few images of her in her pink shades and a few other props she brought out. We all had a great giggle watching her strut her stuff.

Thank you Josh and Paula for inviting me into your home to photograph your girls again!

I met this family back when Paisley was just 3 months old, and have photographed their family ever since. Cristina (the momma) and I even got to share the joys of being pregnant with our littles born in 2012. They recently moved a few hours away, but was so happy they were able to make the trip back for Paisley’s 3 and Grace’s 1 year portraits! These girls are so much fun to watch grow!
