[Senior] Hannah | Hayti Deering Missouri Senior Photographer

I love senior sessions! Seniors are so stylish and hip and cool. Words that don't describe me these days. I'm more like "momma", "tired", and "stylish-to-the-degree-that-it-just-has-to-fit". And sometimes I'm cool, but my kids might think otherwise.

So Hannah is my first senior session of 2010 and she totally hit it out of the park. It was a cold day, but at least it wasn't windy and/or snowing! Bless her heart, I could just see the chill bumps on her skin, but she was a trooper and I'm very happy with the end result. I got to try to a few ideas and even implement my new find: a $4 chair from an antique shop! Oh, I heart the antique store! And Hannah was just the perfect subject to use with it.

Her mom is always quite the laugh-maker, so we hee-hawed throughout the whole session. We had a blast and I can't wait for our spring session! Thanks for the laughs, Mom, and for bringing out some beautiful smiles from your beautiful girl!

And, Dad, I got permission to dress and pose your baby girl! I hope you all enjoy!

Just wanted to post one sneak peek from yesterday's awesome senior shoot! Stay tuned for more to come this week!

This baby girl was one happy baby when I walked into her home. Beautiful smile, happy demeanor, you name it. And she was pretty as a peach.

Mom really wanted to get some images with her beautiful Christening dress before she outgrew it and as I mentioned in the sneak peek, I really loved how the traditional mixed with the old in the barnwood floor.

After a while, Mollie Claire got tired of the fuss we were making over her, as she was ready for a nap, so I captured some of the sweetest sleeping images of her. Mom later told me that she was really pooped because she slept for 3 hours! (I was a little tired too because I had another shoot earlier that day, but it was great!)

Thanks for opening your home to me today and for accomodating my "find-the-light" request! Mollie Claire was a doll and I hope we'll work together in the future. Enjoy your images!

[Babies] Baby Will | Kennett Missouri Baby Photographer

This past weekend I got to have a session with this 3 month old, who happens to share the same birthday as my 3 month old. That day, of course, was the day God decided to send two good-lookin' little fellas to this Earth. (I'm sure his momma will agree with me!)

Baby Will started out a little fussy, but after a little down time and rest, he was a champ. All pimped out in a basket. And lookin' fly. If you know his mother, you'll notice that her baby boy has the exact same pouty lips that she has! It's uncanny!

We had a nice time and I certainly felt the love for this little guy. There's no doubt he's his momma's baby, but more importantly, he's his gramma's baby. Thanks so much for allowing me to document this special time in his life and I look forward to more sessions in the future!

I had not one, but two sessions yesterday with babies. If I didn't already have a baby of my own, I might have gotten baby fever! Here's sneak peek #2 of the day of one of the sweetest little baby girls ever! Mom wanted to get a shot of her in her beautiful Christening dress, and I just loved this image with the mix of traditional with the beautiful old barnwood floor. Every one have great Superbowl Sunday! God bless!

[Sneak Peek] Baby Boy | Kennett Missouri Baby Photographer

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Up for your viewing pleasure is a sweet baby boy, born on the same day as my baby boy. He was a little tired for his shoot, but he got it worked out after a nice nap! Aww, babies. They certainly have their own schedule. I just wanted to post a quick sneak peek for mom and grandparents. Have a great day!

I've been so bad. Remember when I said I would be blogging more in 2010? Yeah, that time and that other time. Uh-huh, I totally fell flat on that 2010 resolution. To tell the truth, I really thought I would get with the program, but it's really hard to do.

You see, going back to work and familiarizing ourselves with the new addition in the house and my other kids and school and cooking and breastfeeding and editing and laundry(oops, the hubs does most of that!) and giving baths and, oh yeah, let's not forget, Facebooking and scheduling 2010 sessions and wiping my hiney...you catch my drift, right?

Add blogging to the mix and well it makes for a recipe of complete madness and chaos. Oh and I forgot to mention, dieting, which is in its own world of craziness. Except the only thing dieting has done for me is give me the will power to get off the couch and grab a couple of cookies. Dang diets.

And while on I'm the subject of dieting, all of you new mommies-to-be who are planning on breastfeeding because, "like, I will totally lose weight if I breastfeed!", well, I will tell you this: Don't go to Vegas with those kinds of odds. You'll be ravenous. You'll eat more. Heck, you might even look at your baby's fat legs and think about how tasty they are. But then you'll remember that you're not a cannibal. At least, that was my case. You may in fact be one. To each his own, I say.

Anyways, while I'm uploading some images to my lab, I thought I'd take a moment and reintroduce myself to you.

Hi, my name is Stephanie Greenwell. I'm a die-hard fat momma, I love sweets, my husband, and a good episode of "The Big Bang Theory" (and countless others). I'm a computer geek, a forever-student of photography, a Fox news junkie, and a child of God. I'm passionate about my beliefs(and if you don't want to hear it, don't engage me!) I crack up at myself all the time, I don't get jokes and I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm a slacker-blogger, but if you elect me for office in 2010, I promise I will blog more and be the best dang blogger-er on my street. But most of all, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't throw tomatoes, real or virtual, at me for trying to be funny.

Lately, I've been trying to get things in order(see above madness), and I hope and will try to blog more. I'm starting to book my 2010 sessions, so of course, I'll be posting "Sneak Peeks" and sessions I've photographed. So come back from time to time, sit down and enjoy a couple of cookies with me.

Oh, did you say you wanted to see another image of my new baby boy? I can certainly oblige. He's now three months old and just adorable as can be. Don't be j.
