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!
Family Portraits | Siblings at Black Hoof Park
If you’re from the Kansas City area, you may recall that last weekend it rained Literally. All. Weekend. Long. Despite the cool, dreary weather, I was able to squeeze in a couple of family portrait sessions at Black Hoof Park. You can’t even tell how yucky it was outside! I’m posting these together, because like last weekend, we did two related families back-to-back. It was fun seeing the cousins get excited to see each other.
Family Portraits | Hobby Hill Park
Sometimes referrals lead to two family sessions back-to-back. What’s great is squeezing in a larger family picture between both sessions! I’m so happy the Robinson’s introduced me to Hobby Hill Park in the Northland – it’s gorgeous! I definitely see more portrait sessions there in my future. These kiddos are so much fun to take photos of, always being silly for the camera and finding fun spots to pose. Oh, and I can’t go without mentioning Hugo the pup … is he not the cutest with that tongue and those big smiles?
Ernie Miller Minis | Happy Couple
I absolutely love meeting new families and capturing their special moments! I had the honor of taking Hannah & Chris’s engagement photos last weekend — and seriously, how adorable are they?
Ernie Miller Minis | Family of Five
I’ve had the joy of photographing this sweet family for several years now, and every session feels like a little reunion. The girls always bring such fun energy—coming up with their own poses and choosing their favorite spots. It’s moments like these that make my job so much fun!
Family Portraits | All in the Family
When family comes to town from across the country, how can you not include them in your photo session? This one was extra special — spanning four generations of cousins, parents, uncles and aunts, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. A little class, a little chaos, and a whole lot of joy.
