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!
Mini Session #1 | Black Hoof Park
Last weekend I did a few back-to-back mini sessions at Black Hoof Park – one of my favorite places to shoot due to the variety of landscapes close together. You’ll see as I post these sessions how different they all look, due to lighting & location. Up first is the Talley family – one of my regulars!
Family Portraits | On the Prairie
Energy + giggles + smiles = the perfect formula for a successful portrait session. This family had all three, and we had a blast at Prairie Center – one of their favorite places to explore. I’m loving every photo from this session!
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 | 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!
Family Portraits | Stoll Park
Even though temps say otherwise, we’re already gearing up for fall portrait season! This repeat family was open to trying a new spot, so we checked out Stoll Park. It was the perfect spot for an early morning session, with a pond, beautiful trees and bridges, and native plant fields.
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!
