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.

Newborn Portraits | Little JJ
World, meet JJ! He’s the sweetest little guy, and I’m honored his family chose me to take their family photos with him. Newborns are the most challenging and rewarding portraits I take, but I love every second of it. Here are a few of my favorite photos of the beautiful family!
Newborn Photos | Little Willow
I’m excited to share these final photos of 2023 with you … and what better way to wrap up the year than with a sweet newborn? Little Willow was about six weeks old when I took these photos last weekend – the perfect age for bright eyes and glimmers of smiles. We had the best backdrop too – a beautiful Victorian family home. I’ve had so much fun editing these!
Thank you to all of my friends, family, clients, and followers for another wonderful year. Happy holidays … see you in 2024!
Spring Mini Session #1
I donated a couple of mini sessions to my girls’ elementary school auction this spring. Look at the adorable photos we can get in just twenty minutes! I got to help commemorate this sweet girl’s first trip around the sun – the hardest part was definitely narrowing down the best ones.
Nora is ONE!
A few months have gone by since my last session. I upgraded my equipment, traveled abroad (without the equipment), and practiced a few times before my first session this Spring. I’m glad to be back! I feel like I was just shooting Nora’s newborn photos, and here we are celebrating the big ONE. It was so much fun to meet her grandparents and include the whole family! Despite a chilly morning, she did a great job smiling, clapping, and waving for the camera. (Ok let’s be real…for the grandparents). Just look at how much she’s changed!
Newborn Session | Nora Jean
World…meet Nora. She was absolutely adorable throughout her modeling debut, and it was great catching up with her parents and watching them fall so naturally into parenthood. I’m honored to be a part of capturing their early memories together! Here are just a few of my favorites.
Family Portraits | New Baby
It’s always fun to meet new families through mutual friends, especially when there’s a sweet baby involved! This family welcomed me into their home to climb on chairs, crawl up on their bed, get down on their floors, and get up close and personal for some beautiful family shots. It was a great session to finish out the year.
Thank you to all of my clients for a rewarding year of making memories! Happy holidays. See ya next year!
KC Newborn Cutie
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet family and their brand new baby, just a few days old! Typically the newest of newborns sleep so much you can get those sweet posed, sleeping photos, but this girl was wide awake almost the whole session! We still got some adorable photos of her, proud big brother, and her glowing parents.
Family Portraits | Nature Sanctuary
I had the honor of taking this family’s wedding photos a number of years ago, and then portraits when their oldest was born. I was so excited to reunite again to shoot family photos and few 6-month photos of their youngest! We found some great spots in the early-morning secluded Ernie Miller Nature Sanctuary. Here are just a few of my favorites!
Welcome to the world, Will!
I had the honor of shooting photos for this family again after they welcomed baby Will into the world! What could be more fun to photograph than a sweet, snuggly little baby and a fun, active big sister? (Oh yeah, and two proud parents!)
