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!

Burns Family in The Snow!

What a fun family photoshoot this was! We got so lucky, it was actually snowing during the shoot! The other perfect part of this shoot was that they brought their 2 huskies to be in the photos, these dogs were definitely in their element. I love the bright colors of the scarfs/hats against the white snow, it really makes the color pop. We shot these at a park in Overland Park, KS at a really great park. I was jealous though b/c a ton of kids were out their sledding, it looked like so much fun. If you would like to see the whole shoot go to Burns Family.

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.

Stockton Family Shoot

I had so much fun photographing the Stockton kids! They were so funny, I was laughing the whole time. We went down to the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City, Mo. It is such a great place to shoot. I love all the architecture and the nicely manicured lawns :) Man I have the best job, photographing kids is so much fun!! Every year I donate portrait sittings to Kansas City Christian School for their silent auction. They have this to raise money for the school. I really love donating my services and meeting new families like this one! Can you believe those baby blues? Such adorable boys. I have attached a few photos below, but they were so cute that I put the slideshow in also for you to view!

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 :)

Visit To The Hope Center Neighborhood!

Last week I went to go visit some kids that I teach at the The Hope Center. It is really fun to walk through their neighborhood and see where they live, meet their friends, family and just get a chance to hang out with them. These are such amazing kids and they are a big blessing in my life! It was so fun to take my camera down there, I abosolutely love photographing children!

Last night I finished my first year there! I went into this year thinking I was going to teach these kids and help them out, I never would have thought that they would have taught me more than I could have ever taught them! It's overwhelming the amount of difficult situations these kids have faced in their lives, I am so proud of all of them for their strengh and determination! I am so excited to build deeper relationships with the kids in my class. They are true gifts in my life! At the Hope Center we are getting ready for our year end awards ceremony. This is a really big deal for the kids, I am exctied to see my kids receive their awards for all their hard work. Today I put together a slideshow for the ceremony. Go check it out!
