Winter is a season that holds a special place in our hearts. As the snowflakes gently fall from the sky, they have a whimsical way of turning ordinary moments into magical memories. One of the most captivating ways to capture these moments is through snowy family photos.

Autumn session outfits can be tricky with the colder weather. As the temperature drops, it’s important to dress in cozy and stylish outfits that keep everyone comfortable during the session. One family that did a fantastic job with their outfit choices recently had a delightful time capturing beautiful moments at Stephens Lake Park in Columbia, MO.

There is a certain magic that comes with capturing the raw moments of everyday life. I have always been drawn to the idea of immersing myself in the intimate spaces of people’s homes, observing their connections, and telling the story of their family dynamic. It is a way of capturing the true essence of motherhood, of bringing out the beauty in the mundane, and of freezing time in the most honest and authentic way possible.

In this cozy, in-home session with the Schleiffarth family, we had a blast capturing playful moments indoors. We got goofy, jumping off seats and having a family dog pile on the couch. It was all about capturing genuine connections and creating an honest portrayal of their family dynamic.
