You turned seven a couple of months ago. We went out to take your birthday photos tonight. Like your little sister, I signed you up for a traveling dress project to make sure I got your photos done. We got lucky that no one was signed up the week after us, because it rained and […]

My youngest daughter turned five recently. FIVE. I can’t even let myself think about her going to kindergarten next year or I’ll start tearing up. (On the positive side though- maybe I’ll make more time to post with all of my new free time?!) For the last six year or so, I have made a […]

Well, somehow it’s been 3 months since I last posted. But I’ve been a bit busy- busy with trying something totally new (for me at least). I approached the director of my daughter’s preschool about doing school portraits for the kiddos there. I have had at least one kid at that preschool for the last […]

So clearly blogging is not my strong suit. As with many things I do (or plan to do), I have such good intentions, but ultimately have so many ideas with too-lofty goals, that the majority go floating right out of my brain without ever materializing into anything real at all. Does that even make sense? […]

I have never been very drawn to photographing a family in their home, I much preferred being outdoors for a family shoot. I think I was worried the house in the background wouldn’t be “instagram worthy”, or the light wouldn’t be good, etc. But an amazing photographer recently inspired me to look at in-home sessions […]

Getting this session scheduled required a first for me: arriving before the sun was even up! I not only had to get up way before my usual time (I am NOT a morning person, to say the least), but I also had to think of my normal session flow in reverse, so that was a […]

I can’t tell you how lucky and humble I feel when a family that I photographed before asks me to do another session the next year! I took photos of this adorable family last fall, when baby L was just a tiny newborn. This year we were rushed to find a date because of an […]

Since this was the forth year in a row we got balloons for Maggie’s birthday pictures, I think it is officially tradition. She had better let me take pictures of her with balloons when she is a teenager! We went up to Top of the World, where new green grass was just starting to pop […]

This is what happens when one of your dearest friends tells you that her sister and parents are coming to town and she wants to have family pictures done of the whole family in celebration of her dad’s birthday… Seriously, how sweet are they all? I could not believe that Grandpa was turning 70! And […]

Last fall I did some family portraits of this sweet couple and their adorable little boy. I had the pleasure to photograph them again this spring in celebration of Liam’s first birthday. We met at Loose Park in KC (which happened to be where my husband and I had our engagement pictures done years ago, […]
