Channing Grace M. | newborn

Channing Grace came into the world weighing 7lbs 6oz with a head full of hair. Her mom, Rachel Hettinger Malen and her big sis Bailey were so glad to meet her.

Like with all newborn sessions, little Channing didn't disapoint when toward the end of her photo shoot she decided to poop all over her mom! LOL! My gag reflex went into action as we scrambled to find the wipes. That kind of stuff just comes with the territory.

Bailey Noelle M. | First Birthday

Our good friend Crazy Rachel (Rachel Malen Hettinger) came up from Springfield for a visit to celebrate her daughter Bailey's first birthday.

Here are some of my favorite shots and the link to her slideshow.











I've also added this youtube video of our trip to La Grange, Missouri with Rachel for a night of gambling at Terrible's Casino. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason for the laughter...it just happens when we're all together. By the way, Chipper is our dog and the "Roller Skate" is John's car.
