My Miss M is already seven weeks old! She had her first smiles at five and a half weeks, but she’s just now really starting to smile for us. I actually caught a few on camera today! I included a couple of her typical serious face, too.

Portraits in the City of Fountains
After multiple scheduling conflicts over the last couple of months, I finally had a chance to photograph one of my favorite families at a gorgeous fountain in North Kansas City. I did their family portraits last summer and Baby D’s newborn portraits before that. I always love looking back to see how kids have grown! Their kiddos like to ham it up for the camera, which makes my job super fun!
Maternity Photos
Today marks 36 weeks into my pregnancy. Lil’ Miss K arrived at 36.5 weeks, so I have anywhere from days to weeks left. I’ve been meaning to have my husband shoot a few maternity photos for weeks now (before my belly got so big), but we finally got around to it tonight. It’s hard to see yourself gain more weight and get bigger than baby #1 (I mean, what woman isn’t self-conscious at practically every point in her life?), but I’m happy he did such a nice job capturing this stage of my life/pregnancy. While I’m ready for Baby M’s arrival, I’m trying to savor these moments. Lil’ Miss K is excited to be a big sister, too!
Spring Portraits
With spring comes warmer weather…and wind! We definitely fought wind this portrait session, but the kiddos (and parents) did great. I couldn’t believe how much little Ethan smiled and posed for the camera. I’ve been doing this family’s photos since their engagement session close to a decade ago. Those photos were actually at the same park – in the wintertime! They live on the other side of the country now, but we’re always able to catch up when they come back to visit.
Portrait Session | Midwest Weather
I took these portraits last weekend in about 70-degree weather. This weekend it snowed. That’s the Midwest for you! I’m hoping for more spring and less winter in the near future. I love this family…and the fact that they always bring grandparents to the photo shoot to help wrangle the kids and make them laugh. It works like a charm!
Portrait Session | She’s three? How can that be?
This little girl is growing up way too fast. She’s a ball of energy with a lot of sass and a lot to say. She couldn’t be any cuter! I’ve had the pleasure of taking her photos since she was an infant, so I love looking back to see how she’s changed. Since she has a late fall birthday, we utilized our newly remodeled church, which has great natural light.

Portrait Session | My Converse Family
One of the things I love the most about this family is that they always have coordinating Chuck Taylors. In fact, they said they own too many pairs to count. I also love that they do semi-annual family photos. Check out their last summer and winter portraits to see how their little one has grown. That boy’s eyes. They get me every time!
Thankful | Family Portraits
As we approach Thanksgiving, I just want to say how thankful I am for all of my clients. You help me grow as a photographer each time you book a session, refer a friend, or even like my work on social media. I’m also thankful for this family – new clients who were open to a new location. They really toughed out cold, windy weather this afternoon, especially after just returning from a trip to Hawaii! I think the end result was worth it.
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 | Sweet Pups
One of my favorite portrait sessions each year is this family – because they let me shoot and design their humorous Christmas cards! They always have the most creative ideas. I can’t show their card just yet, but I did want to share a couple of photos of them. They are the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and their dogs are seriously adorable, sweet, and so well-behaved.
