When family comes to town from across the country, how can you not include them in your photo session? This one was extra special — spanning four generations of cousins, parents, uncles and aunts, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. A little class, a little chaos, and a whole lot of joy.

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 | English Landing
It’s been so fun to watch this family grow through the years. Their boys parallel my girls in ages and personalities so much that I always feel like I can relate to them. This year, we headed out to the beautiful English Landing Park, trying our best to avoid the crowds of outdoor enthusiasts. You’d never know this park was crowded from the photos!
Parkville Nature Sanctuary | Family Portraits
The leaves are just starting to turn in the Midwest, but it’s prime time for fall portraits. The Parkville Nature Sanctuary proved to be a great spot, with trickling streams, unique tree stumps, and native plants. This family is always up for getting outside and immersing themselves in nature – I can tell it’s their happy place. #icanrelate I can’t wait to see how much these kiddos grow to love the outdoors as they age. See how they’ve changed just since baby Will’s newborn photos 6 months ago!
Family Portraits | Downtown Parkville
It’s the most wonderful time of year … for portraits! I shot two portrait sessions last weekend. I’ve known this family for many years, so I was excited when they reached out about family photos. We met in Parkville – one of the prettiest towns in the KC Metro area. And it didn’t disappoint! The kiddos were so fun and energetic, and we had a great time walking downtown and looking for fun photo ops. I think the morning was a success!
Family Portraits | On the Streets of Parkville
It’s been awhile since I’ve taken any family portraits – there’s something about humid Kansas summers that turns people away. But fall is here, and I got to shoot three family’s photos this weekend! First up is Lance and Sarah’s family – they are one of my regulars, and we went to one of my favorite spots for fall portraits – downtown Parkville, MO! It’s full of charing storefronts, historic buildings, trains, and fun murals. The boys are adorable, especially when Big Brother loves on Little Brother. Have a look!







Family Portraits | Spring has Sprung
My first spring portrait session is in the books … and it got to be with one of my all-time favorite families! The kids have grown so much since last year’s portrait session. This time, we opted for the Parkville Nature Sanctuary, which made for a great place to shoot even when the sun was still high in the sky. Here are a few of my favorite images.





Family Portraits | Fall at the Nature Sanctuary
I’ve known this mama for a number of years now, but I was so excited when she asked me to do family portraits so I could meet her two leading men! I also got to explore a new location – the Parkville Nature Sanctuary. It’s one of my new favs. You can’t beat a waterfall in Missouri! And little six-month-old Dean couldn’t be more adorable … I’m looking forward to editing the rest of the photos just so I can keep looking at that sweet smile!






Family Portraits | Downtown Parkville
Fall weather has finally arrived in Kansas City. The wind was brisk, but the sun was shining and the mood was upbeat at this weekend’s portrait session in downtown Parkville. This continues to be one of my favorite places to take photos, with so many quaint storefronts and neat buildings. I had a great time getting to know this family and capturing their personality!

Family Portraits | Downtown Parkville
I had the pleasure of shooting portraits at one of my favorite locations this weekend – downtown Parkville, Missouri! The quaint shops, small-town feel, and friendly people make it a perfect spot. And this sweet family of three were all troopers, despite the temps barely above freezing.
