It was so special to photograph the connection between this expecting couple. This was a full session that took place in the Kansas City area in the early spring. I think the jewel tones really worked with the outside setting and the momma-to-be could not have been more lovely. It was fun to have them hold the tiny glittered baby shoes together, showcasing the blessed tattoo on her wrist.
Love the pearls and pink dress shirt that belongs to her hubby, such an adorable way to showcase the baby bump.
I want to share a first birthday session that I did at Shawnee Mission Park in the fall. There’s something about the colors, shading and lighting you can capture in autumn that is so inspiring. It’s such a perfect backdrop for birthdays, family photos and special occasions.
This little birthday boy’s fun spirit is so visible in the pictures, and I enjoyed capturing his fantastic smile and laughter. You’ll notice in one of the shots he was so delighted to have his blankie! He looked like such a little gentleman in his blue plaid cap and vest. And I love the picture of him in the little wooden Coca-cola wagon. Such a endearing family.
Can you believe that October is around the corner? The leaves are beginning to change into beautiful golden colors, pumpkins are appearing on doorsteps, and who can resist the pumpkin spice lattes? Plus, there is so much to see and do including family activities at the Red Barn Farm in Weston and tasting the yummy cider donuts at the Louisburg Cider Mill.
It’s also time to book your fall photo sessions! I’ve gathered amazing props and have scouted out fantastic locations for your pictures. Wouldn’t it be great to get those family photos taken for your Christmas cards and have gorgeous portraits up on your walls for holiday gatherings? Book now and we can get started creating the ideal family portrait!
You can book a full or mini session, all dates and times listed. What is the difference?
*A full session can last up to 2 hours and is great if you want a larger variety of settings/poses/props. This is also the best option if your little ones take a while to warm up to new people. After the session you will be presented with a gallery of around 40 images to order from. You can order digitals files, prints, wall art, holiday cards and albums!
*A mini session is a 30 minute session in one location. You will be given a gallery of 15 images that are downloadable. This is a great option if you are wanting a few updated family, child and/or sibling portraits. I highly recommend ordering professional prints, holiday cards, wall art and albums with this option too!
Please read the description under each choice, rain dates will be given if needed. Once you have read all the info please feel free to email me at swadestudios@yahoo.com with any questions.
I’m excited to share a post with all of you that I absolutely love. This sweet newborn boy sat nuzzled in a vintage wagon, among the ivy. Located in Overland Park, this outdoor setting was a perfect match of color and background. I think the greens, browns and other neutral colors we used for his photo shoot look so fresh near his little face. The shot of his daddy and mommy holding him so closely, is such a tender moment. What a beautiful family. And what could be better than a baby bear hat? Not much.
How quickly time flies…..I just recently finished his 1st birthday session…which I hope to show you all soon.
Surrounded by soft pink layers, this sleeping beauty was nestled so comfortably during our newborn session. I love the delicate rosette headband on her precious face. One of my favorite shots was when she’s nestled in the rustic wooden basket filled with neutral layers…it’s magical. And every princess needs a crown, of course.
