I tried out a new-to-me park for photos last weekend, and it was a keeper! Erfurt Park in Shawnee has lots of shade, a bridge, pond, pretty grasses, and open field … all a short walk from the parking lot. But can we talk about how adorable this family is? They have the sweetest smiles and infectious laughs!
Family Photos | Ernie Miller Nature Center
I tried to look back in the archives for the first time I took photos of this family…and after looking through several months of what was probably the wrong year, I finally gave up. But I will tell you, it was probably about 12 years ago! I love that they keep coming back for updated photos – it’s the best way to show how fast the kids grow over the years. This family was filled with so much energy and positivity during their session, I felt myself smiling the whole time!
Family Photos | A Darling Family
Ok … isn’t this family darling? We re-created one of their favorite family photos from several years ago. As you can imagine, the kids have grown up just a bit. And, their pup Arlo, may have stolen the show.
Family Photos | Early Birds
It’s true what they say…the early bird gets the worm. This is one of my few families who are willing to do the early morning photoshoots. And boy, does it pay off with amazing lighting. The sun shining through the trees, no shadows to deal with, that golden hue … plus the most adorable family!
Family Photos | Red Bridge
This was such a fun, new-to-me location to take photos! The original bridge dates back to 1859, but a little over 10 years ago, rather than the city demolishing it, it was turned into a pedestrian bridge where people could add their love locks. And this family has so much love to give..making it the perfect spot for their family pics.
Senior Photos | Caleb
Part of the joy of taking senior photos is trying to capture their personality. I hope I did just that with my nephew Caleb – a farm boy who works hard every day, has a serious and goofy side, and has solid plans after he graduates.
Senior Photos | Jaden
I had a blast taking Jaden’s senior photos last weekend! Lots of different looks in a short amount of time. These were taken during the golden hour at Black Hoof Park…one of my favorite photo spots. If you’re looking for photos this fall – I only have a couple of openings left!
Family Portraits | Kauffman Center
Well, hello there! My schedule is filling up with fall photos … and this session kicked off my busy season. It’s been a few years since I took photos at the Kauffman Center, and I’d forgotten how perfect it is for portraits. It may have been hot, and windy, and sticky outside, but it was so much fun capturing this moment in time with this extended family.
Family Portraits | Close to home
You don’t have to travel far to get great family photos – these were taken right at my client’s neighborhood park! I love taking multi-generational photos, and this family was picture-perfect!
