Meggan & Ryan | Wedding Rehearsal

When you hear the story of how Meggan and Ryan met and fell in love there is one common thread that binds it all together...they waited on the Lord. They spent time in prayer and sought the counsel of trusted friends before pursuing a relationship. Once they started dating it didn't take long for Ryan to realize he wanted Meggan to be in his life forever.

They got married at the beautiful Big Cedar Lodge near Branson. Since the Lodge provides an in-house photographer for the ceremony, I got to take pictures of all the super fun stuff- the wedding rehearsal and Meggan getting ready to see her groom! It was great getting to know this couple and seeing their tender love for one another!

After the rehearsal, everyone boarded pontoon boats and headed over to a chuck wagon dinner where Meggan planned every detail to make sure all of their family and friends were appreciated and had a great time!

The day of the wedding was filled with laughter and friends as everyone helped Meggan get ready!

Fall leaves and bling bling, these are two of my favorite things!

I don't think I have adequate words to describe how stunning Meggan looks in these next pictures!

Meggan and Ryan, thank you SO much for allowing me to be a part of your beautiful wedding! I wish you both nothing but many years of happiness and may you always look to the Lord for wisdom, just as you did to find each other!

The Stocktons | Family

One of the best parts of my job is when I start the photo shoot by meeting new clients, but leave with new friends. That's exactly how I feel about the Stockton family. We're like peanut butter and jelly. French fries and ice cream. Ok, now I'm hungry, but I truly fell in love with this family! They embody everything that a family should be- laughter, love, and fun!

Mitchell and Bobbi haven't had pictures taken of themselves since they got married. This should be a crime! You all are fabulous!

Thank you for letting me spend time having fun with your family! You are the BEST!

Watch Him Grow | Family

I had the honor of photographing this sweet boy's newborn pictures and now I got to spend time with him again for his 4 month photo shoot! He is seriously a rock star. And too adorable for words. Ladies, you better look out in about 18 years!

Marci & Drew | Engagement

Since the day I picked up my camera, I have been adamant that I did not want to shoot weddings. Growing up my dad was a photographer and I heard all kinds of crazy stories about chaotic wedding days. Then in high school I worked as an assistant for a wedding photographer and I got to experience all kinds of craziness and chaotic wedding days. One couple even decided to use interwoven locks of each other's hair as wedding bands instead of rings. HAIR. I could not make this up, people!


So when Marci e-mailed me about shooting her wedding, I was hesitant. All I kept thinking about was the chaos. And the crazy. And the hair rings. What I was forgetting was the love. The anticipation of a groom seeing his bride for the first time. The fellowship between two families. Seeing people take a chance on happily ever after.


I am overjoyed to say that on November 11, Mike and I will be the photographers for Marci and Drew's wedding! And even if there is a little bit of craziness or chaos, it won't matter because love covers all. Although if they pull out rings made of hair, I may just bolt for the door. I kid, I kid! : )


Here are some of my favorites from their engagement session...

I cannot say enough about their love for each other! In the short amount of time we spent together, it was so evident that they are truly each other's rock. They are so tender and caring, it reminded me of how wonderful it is to be married to your best friend!

Um, seriously Marci, you could not BE any more GORGEOUS!

You know it's true love when you get the "nose wrinkle smile"!

Marci and Drew, I cannot express to you both how thankful I am that you're taking a chance on me to photograph your wedding. Your love shines so brightly and it is the highest honor that you're allowing me to be a part of that!

It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year | Personal

Happy Pumpkin Spice Latte Day! If it were up to me, this day would be a national holiday. Or at least Google could make one of those cool homepages dedicated to the goodness that is the PSL!

I really do wait in anxious anticipation for this time of year. If you've visited the Foster Photography website, you'll know that I am crazy about the fall. Perfectly cool weather, beautiful leaves on the ground, carving pumpkins, having bonfires, eating s'mores, celebrating Black Friday Eve (or as some strange people call it, "Thanksgiving"). It's seriously the best.

One of the greatest things about the fall are family pictures! So, in honor of the most wonderful time of year, if you book a session with me and mention this blog post, the price will drop from $125 to $85! 


The special "Laura Loves The Fall" price only lasts until November 13. Don't miss this opportunity to have your holiday pictures taken early and without any stress!
E-mail me at laura@foster-photo.net to book your session today!

Matthew & Jess | Family

The more I work with kids, the more I'm convinced that if someone could figure out how to bottle their energy, the world would be a much better (and more productive) place! Matthew and Jess are two incredible brothers who are full of life and love for each other! My guess is that these two bicker just like any other siblings, but it will take a lot of convincing to get me to believe that! We had a fun afternoon of running, jumping, and playing on the playground without a care in the world!

I seriously just want to squeeze Jess! How adorable is he?

This face could melt any heart!

I wish I could hire Matthew as my artistic director. He was full of creative ideas for poses and locations for different shots!

If Matthew ever got out of Jess's sight, he would look around and ask me, "Have you seen my brother?" You can tell that Matthew is the best big brother a kid could ever ask for...Jess adores him!

Matthew and Jess, don't ever forget your love for each other! Thank you for letting me spend time with you and document your incredible brotherly bond!
