E is for Elizabeth

If you have been following this blog for a while you may remember Allie and Trevor, I photographed their wedding in 2006 and they just welcomed their new arrival on December 20th, 2009. Elizabeth is such an adorable little baby, I just couldn't get enough of her cheeks! Congratulations Allie and Trevor!

I love photographing newborn babies, the best time to catch the newborn stage is in the first week so try and plan ahead. We know this is easier said than done since there really is no way to know when the little one will actually arrive, contact Portraits By Lucinda and let them know when your due date is and you can tentatively schedule it. This way you make sure you capture this adorable stage that stays for such a short amount of time.

If you would like to see the entire photoshoot go to Baby Elizabeth.

Wyatt is 2months!

All I can simply say is can it get any cute than this?

Sebastian turns 1 year!!

You may recognize this little guy because I have been photographing him throughout the first year of his life. He is such a cutie and I can't believe he is already a year old. Happy Birthday Sebastian!

To see the whole shoot go here Sebastian 1yr.

C is for Charlotte

I can't believe it Charlotte is already 8 months old, she is growing so fast. She has to be the happiest baby I have ever met. She always greets people with the warmest smile which can brighten any day. Oh and to mention the hair! How adorable, I love those uncontrollable curls. This is one of the best ages to photograph a baby. Be sure to catch them right before they are mobile! It was fun to photograph her with her sister Gwyna, Charlotte is now at that age where she loves her big sister! They are just so cute!

Below are a few from the shoot. If you would like to see more go to

W is for Wyatt

For those of you who know me will understand why the following shoot was so perfect! I have to say I absolutely adore kids but newborns, well they melt my heart. I love capturing life at the beginning when they are so small. It is also amazing to be around new parents there is such a joy that fills the room and I love capturing those precious moments for them.

Little Wyatt is 7hrs old in some of these and then the rest 5 days old. So precious. If you like to see the rest go to Baby Wyatt.

Vintage Lucia

I love it when Mom's find really fun outfits for shoots. This Mom is really into the vintage style clothing so she decided it would be fun to go for that look. It's always fun to be given something different to photograph.
I ended up doing a search for vintage clothing and came up with this website

I think this would be a great place for parents to go to get some ideas!

Fun Family Shoot in Downtown Kansas City!

This shoot was such a breath of fresh air! Most families want to have their kids photographed at a park, which I enjoy but it was so fun to do something different. For this shoot we went downtown Kansas City, Mo underneath a really cool bridge, then used some of the architecture at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. It was fun to do more of an urban family shoot. My friend Erin, who is a photographer/photo stylist at Hallmark Cards, hired me to photographer her family. It was such an honor to have her hire me, since she is obviously really good at photography. Her little boy is so adorable and I have to say she photographs really well too!

Enjoy the pics, once again I wasn't able to narrow this post down to just a few photos. If you would like to see the whole shoot go to

Some Adorable Kids In Some Beautiful Fall Leaves!!

I know I am always saying I photographed some adorable kids, but I have to say it again! How cute are these 3!! I absolutely loved their cute little clothes, they were so fun to photograph. Another thing that was great - The LEAVES!! We went to beautiful Antioch Park in Overland Park, KS I can always count on this park for the fall time! Can those leaves get any better? Man I love fall, I wish it lasted longer. I have once again put way to many pictures in this post, but I just couldn't decide - sorry! Hope you enjoy though, I would love to hear your thoughts. I have also added the slideshow because there are way too many cute shots.

Kid Photo Shoot at Loose Park

Aren't these such cute kids! The little one has such blue eyes, I had so much fun capturing those big blues. His brothers were great too - they had such long eyelashes, they would make any girl jealous, haha. I photographed them at Loose Park in Kansas City, Mo. It is such a beautiful park! If you would like to see their full slideshow go to Montgomery Family.

One up close so you can see those big blues!

Stella Blu (Newborn Portraits at the Hospital)

I was lucky enough to get the chance to photograph yet another newborn at the hospital! She is just precious. I absolutely love her name too... Stella Blu Antoinette. I feel honored to be invited into such a special moment into my clients lives, nothing is more beautiful than a newborn baby. View the slideshow below and leave me some comments :)

Amelia Portraits (Child Portrait Session!)

So I had so much fun on a recent photo session of a little toddler. She is such an adorable little girl, look at her almond shape eyes and super long eyelashes. She was so much fun! Her mom takes her on a walk down this path and she always brings her little bucket to pick up "flowers" along the way. Then they stop at a creek to see the "fishies". They thought it would be fun to photograph one of these little outings. Below is the slideshow, check it out and leave me some comments :) (they make my day when you do)!
