This little guy is such a blessing! You really do forget, very quickly, how small babies start out. I was thrilled to take these documentary-style newborn photos last weekend. Dylan did a great job with our nearly two-hour long photo shoot. The hardest part has been narrowing down the photos! Here are just a few of my favorites.
Lil’ Miss K had to stay home sick a few days ago with a sinus infection. It was one of those days where she stayed in her pajamas most of the day, and I gave her some screen time. The only shows she has ever sat still for are Max the Glow Train and Little Baby Bum videos on YouTube. We felt her forehead so often, she learned to feel Daddy’s too. She had enough energy to play peek-a-boo in the kitchen cabinets, though!
In less than three weeks, Lil’ Miss K will be turning two. I frequently look back on where we were a year ago, and it’s hard to believe how much has changed. Last year she wasn’t walking yet, and now she’s jumping on a trampoline and running like a pro. A year ago she only said a few words; now she has a vocabulary of a few hundred words, speaks in sentences, and knows many songs by heart. What will the next year bring?
Here’s how she has changed since last month.

Yesterday I posted some photos of Lil’ Miss K’s favorite Christmas presents. Here are a few more of her with a tent – she loves crawling through it, playing peek-a-boo, and giggling like crazy when the cats paw at it or jump on it. So much fun! I can’t believe she’ll be two in a few weeks.
Hello and welcome to 2016! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, especially photos of my own family. We had a great Christmas, and Lil’ Miss K got some really fun gifts. Since we’re in the thick of winter, we’ve spent a lot of time inside playing with her new toys. Her trampoline is definitely a favorite – she loves jumping so much that I’ve enrolled her in a tumbling class! She asks to finger paint most every day, so I’ve converted a pair of Halloween pj’s into paint clothes. I have a few more photos to share with you tomorrow.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 7,200 times in 2015. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 6 trips to carry that many people.
Sticking with tradition, Lil’ Miss K turned twenty-two months old a week ago, but I just now got around to taking her monthly photo. (Had to get a true comparison, right?) Has she changed since last month? It’s hard for me to tell. I think maybe her hair has grown a little. I can hardly believe she’ll be two in February. At that point I’ll switch to quarterly photos.
Due to a 36-hour rain shower this weekend, we had to move this family’s photo shoot indoors. Luckily they had a great suggestion of a unique indoor location – Bass Pro Shop! I was a little unsure how it would go with the crowds and the lighting, but I think we were all really happy with how the shoot went. I had such a great time getting to know this energetic and creative family!
Another bucket list photo shoot location was checked off this weekend – the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City. It’s an iconic landmark in the city – truly an architectural piece of art. I’m so happy this family suggested doing photos there. Little Theodore is only about 11 months old, but he lasted an entire hour as we got amazing shot after shot. (Doesn’t he have incredible hair?) I’m so happy with how these turned out and can’t wait to edit the rest!
We have been blessed with unseasonably warm weather in Missouri these last few days, and I’m soaking it up – especially when it comes to portrait sessions! This weekend’s December portrait session turned out great with warm weather and a fun, photogenic family. I loved their family dynamic – always joking, going with the flow, and just having a good time, even if the thought of portraits sounded a little terrifying. Here’s a sneak peek!
