Isn’t this the most adorable family? I love when I have the opportunity to capture extended families coming together. In this case, they were celebrating little JJ’s first birthday! I can’t believe how fast these kiddos are growing. I feel like I was just taking his newborn photos. And hers!
High School Grad + The Fam
Last weekend I got to capture photos of graduate Charlotte and her family. It was the perfect chance to get some traditional family portraits, a few senior-style pics, and cap and gown photos. All before her grad party later that day!
Do you know someone in the KC area graduating next year? It’s not too early to start thinking about senior photos! Summer is the perfect time for senior pics … before the school-year-crazy begins, and before my fall portrait schedule fills up.
All together | Extended family session
The first session of spring is always a favorite, and this extended family was the perfect way to kick the season off. With grandparents, children, and grandkids, there was plenty of smiles and hugs to go around. Paired with fresh spring growth and early morning light, it made for an easy, joyful session—and the best start to a new season.
If you are interested in spring or summer portraits, my weekends are already filling up, so reach out today!
Family Portraits | Autumn in Lenexa
“Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.” — William Cullen Bryant
I’ve had a beautiful time taking photos this fall, and these new clients were no exception! This was my final session at the Lenexa City Center, but we switched it up and went to the fields across the street in search of some fall foliage and golden light. Here are a few of my favorite shots!
Family Portraits | Krumsick Family
Another one of my regular families chose Lenexa City Center for a change of pace from the usual parks. It was fun finding different spots for each family at the city center, especially because the three mini sessions were all family and didn’t want to end up with similar holiday cards & photos on their walls!
Family Portraits | Ballew Family
Here’s the second family photos I took at the Lenexa City Center last weekend. Pro tip: fake laugh while you’re posing. It really works – just look at the shot of the three kiddos!
Family Portraits | Talley Family
Last weekend I shot several family portrait sessions at Lenexa City Center – a new spot for me – and it was perfect! Perfect weather, perfect backdrops, perfect subjects. Up first was my tried and true Talley family, who have been with me since the beginning.
Family Portraits | A Chilly Fall Day
We braved the bitter wind and cold this weekend for golden hour autumn portraits … and it was sure worth it! The kiddos were troopers (and Mom and Dad). Are they not the cutest family??
Family Portraits | On the Farm
My daughter’s absolute favorite animal is the horse—and honestly, I can’t blame her. There’s something so peaceful and therapeutic about being around these gentle giants. I was thrilled to finally capture these photos for a dear friend.
Family Photos | Northwood Trails
I’ve been in my happy place these past few weeks, soaking in all the beautiful autumn colors. Even right in my own neighborhood! I took these photos just down the street by our local park. You don’t need a picture-perfect location or a long, stressful session to get great photos. I try to keep the process easy, relaxed, and quick—while still capturing beautiful results!
