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.

Family Portraits | Autumn in Lenexa

“Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.” — William Cullen Bryant
I’ve had a beautiful time taking photos this fall, and these new clients were no exception! This was my final session at the Lenexa City Center, but we switched it up and went to the fields across the street in search of some fall foliage and golden light. Here are a few of my favorite shots!

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 | 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!
