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?

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

Peyton SMS 2008

I had so much fun photographing Peyton's High School Senior pics. It was fun reminiscing about high school since we both attended Shawnee Mission South. She was really fun to work with. We also had a beautiful day for our shoot, which was wonderful! Here in Kansas City we are all so ready for warm weather. We started the shoot off at Antioch Park and then headed downtown Kansas City! Below are some of my favs.

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.

My Grandma in Prada...

Recently on my trip up to Lawson, Mo I took some photos of my grandma. We had a really hard time getting her to smile so we decided to put on my sisters glasses which were atleast making us laugh!

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!

Urban Wedding!

This wedding was so much fun to photograph. I had so many new surroundings and it made it so much fun to shoot! Jackie and Jim had their wedding at Berg Event Space in Kansas City, Mo. It is Ron Bergs' photo studio and he rents it out for weddings and other events. It's a really neat urban space in downtown Kansas City. I apologize in advance for posting so many pictures, I just couldn't choose. If you would like to see the full slideshow go to Jackie and Jim.




















Aren't the flowers beautiful! Thanks to Erin at Erin Volate Floral!!

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!

Family Photo Shoot at Antioch Park!

I can't believe September is almost over! This year is going by so fast and now everyone in Kansas City is looking for a photographer to do family portraits for Christmas Cards! I love this time of year because I really enjoy photographing kids. Anyway here are a few shots from a recent shoot. I know people normally want pictures of smiling kids, but these kids just have such a great serious look, they had beautiful blue eyes! (don't worry i got lots of smiles too for the family) If you would like to see the whole slideshow go to Venable Family.

Anthony and Kristyn's Wedding Sep 8.4.07

I had so much fun with this group, they had such great energy! This definitely made for some great pics! I have posted a few images and the slide show so take your pick!

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)!
