Warmer, longer days are upon us, which means it’s a great time for spring portraits! I’m offering a Spring Special: book a basic portrait session by the end of April, and you’ll get five additional high-resolution edited images for the same price. The portrait session is good April-June. Contact me now to secure your spot!
He is risen indeed. Happy Easter, snow and all!
Hey, there! It’s been a while. My family has been going through a lot of life changes – so many that I haven’t had a second to work on photos. Tonight, I decided to take a little break to edit photos from over a month ago, before Lil’ Miss K even turned two. Next, I’ll actually edit her birthday photos and post those. I’ve missed this little blog…I’ve definitely missed my photography.
These were taken in the West Bottoms in an attempt to get some two-year-old shots. Unfortunately Lil’ Miss K was in a clingy mood and a bit afraid of the bridge, so things didn’t go as planned. But we still managed to get a few keepers!
I had such a great time taking portraits for this energetic family yesterday. My husband teaches with “Miss M,” and I joke that I didn’t know her first name for at least a year, since he tends to call his coworkers by the same names the students use. Despite the chilly temperatures and brisk wind, these two feisty, fun kids did a great job posing and being themselves. (Mom and Dad did pretty well, too.) I’m so happy with how these turned out – I can’t wait to edit the rest!
I got to spend my beautiful Saturday morning chasing around these two cuties! They are so lucky to get to grow up together as cousins, living close together and hanging out all the time. They couldn’t be any more adorable – especially with their matching sock monkeys and sweaters!
I had a great time photographing the most well-behaved toddler this weekend! Maybe those of you who know him are laughing, but he was perfect for the photo shoot! He’s not even two yet, but he listened, posed, smiled, and was the best little subject. I did find out he loves rain puddle, though. 😉 We had fun running around downtown Parkville, MO – a cute town with tons of photo ops. We even ran into Elvis, who sung a little Johnny Cash for us.
I got to photograph one of my favorite families last weekend. Four grown siblings = nine grandkids/cousins under five. Yup! We took some photos where we attempted to get everyone looking and smiling all at once, and we took some photos full of controlled chaos.
As you can see, I had a busy weekend taking photos! Before we started this family portrait session, we commented on how unfortunate it was that the trees had barely started turning. But check out this first photo – we found the perfect tree. I loved photographing this family – chasing around the boys in their element. This is why I’m a lifestyle photographer!
In addition to shooting Damon’s senior portraits yesterday, I got to take photos of his immediate and extended family! They had done their research and preparation on location, poses, and props – which made my job easy. Not to mention how photogenic they were. I loved shooting at Krug Park in St. Joe. You can hardly tell it’s a park from the cool stone backgrounds.
Here are a few favorites from this weekend’s photos shoot with my most loyal customers. I’ve had the pleasure of shooting a lot of their milestones – from their engagement back when I first started taking semi-professional photos, to their daughter and son’s birthdays. I love watching this beautiful family grow.
