I first met this sweet family when Big Sister was a few months old and I went to their house to do a lifestyle session with them. Over the years I’ve gotten to capture some of the most magical sessions with them watching Big Sister grow up. I have been waiting to capture the magic of Little Sister’s arrival for the last (never-ending) 9 months, and it was TRULY a magical moment capturing their first meeting as a family of 4!

Watching Big Sister meet her new best friend for the first time brought tears to everyone’e eyes. The sweetest moment ever, and pure love and happiness all around.

A rainy day in a hospital room has never been this sweet or perfect. These types of moments are what I love capturing forever! I can’t wait to watch Baby Charlotte grow up surrounded by all the love in this family!

Hopkins Maternity Announcement 1.14.2020

I’ve gotten to celebrate some fun milestones and memories with the adorable Hopkins family over the last few years! I’m so excited to get to help them celebrate this new member joining their family!

Nile was SO excited to get to have fun during this quick mini session, and I think he’s excited to be a big brother come this summer! He said he definitely wants a baby sister…

Downtown Branson is one of my favorite places to do sessions, especially in the winter. The light is just right, and the buildings and historic urban feel just make it all come together.

These next few months are going to fly by, and this sweet new baby is going to be here soon! Can’t wait to meet this sweet little one!

This couple is SO much fun! This is the 2nd year I’ve gotten to shoot with them, and I’m so happy because this time they’re locals after relocating to Springfield from KC!! Getting to shoot with them is always fun, full of laughs and just like hanging out with old friends! We have a great time, even though we cheer for opposite football teams… #steelersnation vs #chiefskingdom

Kelsie and Brandon Proposal

June 5, 2019June 1, 2019Posted in UncategorizedTagged #bransonphotographer, #femalephotographer, #proposal, #proposalphotographer, #surpriseproposal

Best surprise proposal. Ever. I had an engagement photoshoot set up for Kelsie and Brandon for the few days that he was in town (from South Africa, hello!), when Kelsie called me and said “Um, we’re going to need to cancel this shoot. He didn’t propose, so no engagement shoot.” My heart broke because I was SO excited about this shoot! About 3 minutes later, I got a facebook message from Brandon saying “DON’T GIVE AWAY OUR SESSION SLOT! I HAVE THE RING AND I’M SURPRISING HER TOMORROW AT THE SHOWBOAT!” I may have invited myself to the surprise proposal by just telling him “Oh good, I’ll make sure and be there!” I wouldn’t have missed this for anything!

Kelsie was in the middle of her song during the dinner entertainment on the Showboat Branson Belle when Brandon (who can also sing!) joined in on the bridge…

There was a little confusion on Kelsie’s part (note the ring box in Brandon’s pocket!)

“A few months ago I said I was coming to fetch you…here I am!”

Stay tuned for the AMAZING engagement session that followed…just as previously scheduled!

Diamond Rio at SDC 5.26.19

June 1, 2019Posted in UncategorizedTagged #bransonphotographer, #concertphotographer, #diamondrio, #eventphotographer, #explorebranson, #femalephotographer, #silverdollarcity

You can’t celebrate 90s country music without singing along to every Diamond Rio song! Meet In The Middle, How Your Love Makes Me Feel, What A Beautiful Mess, In God We Still Trust, Norma Jean Riley…the list goes on!

One of my favorite things about Diamond Rio concerts is that they sing EVERY hit! It’s a 90 minute whirlwind of every single one of your favorite songs, non-stop music! You won’t leave a concert without hearing that ONE song you came to hear!

Marty Roe, Gene Johnson, Jimmy Olander, Dana Williams, Brian Prout and Dan Truman have been singing together for over 30 years, they have 22 Top 10 Singles, have sold more than 10-million albums, are Grammy award winning and are 6-time Vocal Group of the year! These guys are SO talented and SO much fun in concert!

When you make a sign asking for a picture…you might just get one!

Silver Dollar City always has an AMAZING concert line up and I love seeing Jack and Sherry Herschend enjoying them from the front row!

96 Miles Band

I had SO much fun shooting for 96 Miles Band!! Not only are Tami and Michael a fun couple with AMAZING talent, get this, even this unique band name has special meaning to them! It’s 96 miles from Tami’s front door to Michael’s door…hence the name of their musical duo.

When Tami asked me to shoot for them it was the middle of January (I said I was WAY behind on blog posts!), and for a split second I had this “uh, it’s 25* outside, where exactly are we gonna do this…” thought. But before I could finish my thought, she said “I know a guy that works at Fritz’s Adventure…would you be up for shooting there after they close one night?” Not even a question. How cool is that?!

You can find this duo playing regularly in Eureka Springs, Springfield, Fayetteville and all around the Ozark! Connect with them on Facebook and Instagram!

It’s busy season in full force again! All the shooting, all the editing, ALL the coffee!! It’s been watching the season take shape the last few weeks, excited for what this year brings to Branson, and TGC Photography!

If you’re looking for new things coming to Branson this season, check out Landshark Bar and Grill on the Branson Landing! Landshark celebrated their grand opening the end of February, and has been a great addition to the rest of the shopping, dining and entertainment at the Landing! Owned by IMCMV Holdings Inc. (the same company which owns Margaritaville!), Landshark has an amazing view of view of the Landing fountains right in the middle of the excitement! With a great food and drink menu, a fun family friendly atmosphere and lots of live music, Landshark will have you feeling like you’ve got your toes in the sand all year long! Fins up!

Amazing view of Lake Taneycomo and the Branson Landing fountains from the patio at Landshark Bar & Grill!

If you’ve been a frequent cruiser on the Hwy 76, you’ve surely passed by the Grand Palace. Home of all the biggest names in town since its building in the 1990s through its vacancy in 2008. It was bought by Kuvera Partners in 2014, and after much discussion, ground breaking has occurred for Branson’s newest indoor attraction, The Aquarium On the Boardwalk, set to open in 2020!

The Grand Palace Theater has seen some of the biggest names and concerts in Branson! It has been empty since 2008

It’s going to be another great year in Branson! Get ready for the adventure!
