This big girl turns two this week. We enjoyed a sweet birthday party filled with frozen yogurt, cupcakes, and candy this weekend. (Did you catch the pun?) She’s growing up so quickly! To see how much she’s grown, check out these other photos of her.

Wednesday evening I had the opportunity to shoot Colton’s first birthday photos. The warmish weather & setting sun made for a perfect photo shoot. This is my first time doing portraits of a one-year-old. My tips for photographing babies or toddlers who are moving around a lot: shoot quick, be ready to improvise, bring their favorite toys, and keep an open mind.
Happy 1-week birthday to Mariah! If you missed it, check out this wide-eyed baby photo and this father-daughter photo posted last week.
As a continuation of yesterday’s photo, I just had to share this one, too.
Meet my cousin’s beautiful new baby Mariah, born Tuesday morning. Congratulations Ben & Colie!
I can’t get enough of this sweet baby! Every time we’re at a family event, the photos I take of her are usually my favorite. I really have to refrain from posting photos of her every time. I chose this one simply because of its unique composition & framing.
I had a great time hanging out with Colton … oh, and his parents … on New Year’s Eve. He’s grown a lot since he was born in March!
I had a great time at all three of the holiday portrait sessions I did over the last couple of weeks, but I definitely think there are some keepers from this family photo shoot! We went to the Rivermarket area of downtown Kansas City, which offers a wide variety of settings, from parks, to urban, to everything in between. And Sophia is one of the cutest, most mature babies I’ve ever met!
Earlier this week my cousin and her husband blessed the world with Ruthie, their sixth child. Of course she’s perfectly sweet and gorgeous. Here are a few favorites from our hospital visit.
We had a big family get together at my parents’ house this weekend, using my cousin’s 30th birthday as a great excuse to hang out. With 10 little ones in the family, we were grateful for a gorgeous day so we could play outside. As usual, I couldn’t pick one favorite photo. All of my cousins are so cute!
