Here is one last photo of me and Heather hanging out in our kitchen in Wildwood, Missouri, back in late June of 2018. We were just standing there looking at something on my phone together. Heather was still wearing her funny dog t-shirt and that pink hat with the heart on it, leaning in close with a really happy smile. I was wearing my blue shirt and glasses, looking pretty focused on whatever we were reading or watching on the screen. It is so nice to capture these little, everyday moments because they really show how much we just enjoy being around each other, even when we are not doing anything special.

Here is a great, casual picture of Heather just hanging out in our kitchen in Wildwood back in 2018. I love this shot because it is just a simple, everyday moment that perfectly shows off her fun personality. She had on her bright pink hat with the little heart and a hilarious blue t-shirt that says "I LIKE BIG MUTTS" across the front. She was just holding a pillow and relaxing by the counter when I took this. It is always the quiet, normal days at home like this one that end up being some of my absolute favorite memories to look back on.

Getting Ready for Halloween Another look at Halloween 2018 in Wentzville. This one is a little more candid—just Heather Killebrew making sure the costume is ready to go. I like shots like this because they show the moments in between the poses. Just a quiet second before the Halloween night really started.

The Candid Look in Dresden One last shot from the Thanksgiving 2021 files. Heather Killebrew looking off to the side with a smirk. I really like this one because it feels a little more candid and fun. It captures a great mood from our time in Dresden, Tennessee.

Tunica Moments: Dawne and Devon Another gem from the 2003 Mississippi trip. While the previous shot was a perfect pose, this one captures the candid reality. Dawne is all smiles, while Devon decides to play shy, burying his face in laughter. It is a sweet, spontaneous snapshot of family travel in the early 2000s.

Pure Joy: Late 2023 Captured by Heather. This shot perfectly freezes a moment of spontaneous laughter and fun. Joey Montes and a friend goofing around in the living room, caught in a playful embrace. No posing, just genuine happiness and great energy to close out the year.

Capturing the Moment Behind every great photo is the moment where you stop to see if you got the shot. These candid images capture Joey Montes and Heather Killebrew in the kitchen at 2566 Grover Ridge Dr, huddled over a red digital camera. Surrounded by the comfort of home—white cabinets, morning coffee supplies—it is a quiet, unposed glimpse into the process of making memories in Wildwood.

Gathering in the Kitchen The kitchen at 2566 Grover Ridge Dr is not just for cooking; it is the hub of conversation and connection. These candid shots capture the relaxed social atmosphere of the day. We see Heather checking the results on the camera, while a wider shot reveals a moment of connection with family, complete with morning coffee and smartphones ready to capture the memory. It is a genuine look at the time spent between the posed portraits.
