Who’s ready for spring training? After the season we just had in Kansas City, I bet we all are! Go Royals!

Well, this little guy was destined to be a baseball fan. Love the red, white and blue. It gives an All-American, classic feel with the baseballs and glove. His nursery theme was vintage baseball, so I wanted to make sure we got some great pictures of him to celebrate the theme.

He was nestled so sweetly next to the brown blanket while he wore the tiny tan and yellow overalls and hat with the big button! The precious owl hat really looked cute on him and he smiled at the perfect moment! Love it when that happens. And the picture with his big sister was so darling as they snuggled up in the soft blanket. He looks so tiny next to big sis in her stylish navy chevron dress.

Happy New Year! Thought I’d share an outdoor photo shoot and birthday cake smash, that I think you’ll really enjoy.

This dapper little dude was so much fun! His jazzy hat and blue and gray tones, make him look like a gentleman. Certain photos look great in black and white, and it really worked with this family. It gives a timeless feel for sure.

Love the image of big sister giving her brother a sweet kiss on the cheek, always nice when those moments can be captured between siblings. Because we all know they can be few and far between!

The blue and green cake smash for his first birthday turned out great. The colors were fresh, with balloons and streamers galore, and I love how he had on suspenders and a bow tie! Like I said — such a little gentleman! He really got into his cake, which is always a plus, because sometimes they will barley touch it.

I look forward to seeing your precious little ones in 2015!

As the new year begins, we start to think about new beginnings! For me, it’s about newborns, babies, families and capturing their most radiant moments. I look forward to working with new clients as well as repeat clients that I’ve photographed numerous times. Seeing your families grow up and change is part of the fun!

I’d like to share this sweet 2014 session. This beautiful newborn girl had the most darling head of hair! The pastel colors worked so well with her complexion. The pale pinks, grays and creams looked so soft next to her skin. The precious jeweled headband that her mom brought for her made her look like a little princess!

The last image of her nestled in the rustic wooden basket among the fluffy pink layers, is one of my favorites. The rosette headband really shows off her dear little face.

I can’t wait to capture your special family milestones and moments in 2015! Have a Happy New Year!

It is about that time of year again for Valentine’s Day mini sessions!! I will be posting to see if there is enough interest in them and if so I will post the info to book. I always change it up for my mini sessions, never do the same backdrop to keep it fresh and cute. I have lots of ideas already for 2015 Valentine’s Day! It is such a fun and sweet holiday. For the past couple years I have thrown a Valentine’s day party at my house for my daughter and a few of her friends with sweets and crafts. I am hoping to be able to do it a couple more times before she gets “too old” for it. 🙂 I doubt my son will let me do it for him, lol.

Here are some of my favorite’s from last year’s Valentine’s Day mini sessions –

    These are adorable! I wish I lived in Kansas City so you could photograph my little ones!ReplyCancel

Hi everyone! As we settle into December, I thought we could all use a little sun and warmth! So, I’ve decided to share a session that took place over the summer of 2013. Maybe it will get you thinking about 2015!

As you will see, this family was a dream to photograph. As they sit nestled within the lush green fields at Roe park, their amazing smiles beamed like the sun. This sweet baby girl was a joy. Her smile was so radiant. And what fun it was to include the family dog – who sat patiently for the picture, which I would say is a major accomplishment!

This endearing baby was celebrating her 1st birthday, so I set up an outdoor cake smash. She loved the pink icing, as you will see, which was a delight to capture. And who can resist those beautiful blue eyes…especially with a face full of icing!

For all you Wildcats out there, she had an adorable K-State dress, which is always fun to include within the photo shoot. I know how we all get about our Alma Maters!

So far, no sun out today here in KC, but I hope this post made you feel a little cozy!

Happy Holidays to all of you!
