“I didn’t know this would be fun!” might be one of my favorite quotes from this season. I love hearing that families actually enjoy themselves during portraits with me. And yes – you can absolutely climb trees for a unique photo op if you want. (At your own risk, of course!) I had a great time with this family, whom I’ve known for years and finally had the opportunity to capture memories for. We lucked out on weather for my last outdoor shoot of the year!

Mini Session #4 | Black Hoof Park
My final mini session of the evening a couple weeks ago happened right before sunset, which gave it a cooler, wintery feel … with a bonus sunset backdrop! I loved getting to know these new clients – they were so gracious and perfect to work with!
Mini Session #3 | Black Hoof Park
Up next…mini session #3 at Black Hoof Park. This one started about an hour before sunset…perfect for golden hour light. This is another family I’ve been taking photos of for years, and they definitely have their smiles down to an art. They make my job easy. Fact: the moms in all three of these mini sessions are sisters!
Mini Session #2 | Black Hoof Park
My second mini session at Black Hoof Park was for this sweet family of five, who I’ve been taking photos of since way back when they got engaged. The girls had a lot of fun choosing their favorite spots and poses this year…and they nailed it. I always love working with them!
Family Portraits | Liberty Memorial
I believe one of the things that makes my portrait sessions different, is that I love shooting at different places and finding unique vantage points. That’s exactly what we did last weekend at Liberty Memorial. There were several photographers set up with the iconic skyline in the background, and while we shot there too, I love the photos we got in other spots – the fountain, mosaic walls, and the actual memorial in the background. These silly kids made the session….and editing…so much fun. Little Kendrix made all the silly faces!
Family Session | Hints of Fall
It may have been in the 90s when we took these photos last weekend, but the few fallen leaves definitely give these a crisp, fall feel. We hit the jackpot with some great photo spots at the Parkville Nature Sanctuary. I loved taking photos of these silly girls and their sweet parents!
Family Portraits | Slow Down, Time!
We took advantage of this family’s beautiful backyard landscape for their portraits last weekend, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect setting. Plus, kids are often more comfortable in familiar surroundings. I love all of these sweet smiles! It’s so fun looking back to see how quickly they’ve grown – check out last year’s photos and newborn photos to see how quickly they’ve grown.
Family Portraits | KC Rivermarket
One of my favorite families is baaacck!! I love that they pick a new location for portraits every year. This year, we headed to Kansas City’s Rivermarket. I haven’t shot there for a few years, so it felt like all new territory. I love all the colors and the gorgeous golden light!
Spring Mini Session #2
This is the second mini session I donated to my girls’ elementary school fundraiser. Yes – we can get some fabulous shots in just twenty minutes! After having done full sessions and minis, if it’s your first time with me, I’d recommend the standard session to allow more time for everyone to warm up to the camera. But I’m still thrilled with how these turned out!
Spring Mini Session #1
I donated a couple of mini sessions to my girls’ elementary school auction this spring. Look at the adorable photos we can get in just twenty minutes! I got to help commemorate this sweet girl’s first trip around the sun – the hardest part was definitely narrowing down the best ones.
