Kansas City Baby Photography - Dax's 1 Year Session

My favorite part about photographing babies and children is watching them grow up. I love documenting this exciting time and the joy the youngsters possess is truly uplifting. 

I have had the pleasure of photographing Mr Dax since he was just a few days old. I have enjoyed every session - he is always absolutely precious. Definitely one of my favorite models!! :)

Angie, Grady, thanks so much for having me capture these moments for you! I look forward to watching Dax as he grows as a toddler, to a little boy, and before you know it a young man. They grow too quickly!!! Hope you enjoy the images! :)

Kansas City Newborn Photographer - Kinley's Newborn Session

This is lovely little Kinley :) We had such a great session!! Once we got her to sleep she was out like a light and let me mold her in any pose I wanted - she did fantastic! We got so many cute shots - you won't be able to choose a fave!!

Kansas City Family Photography - Hoyle Family Session

Kansas City Baby Photography - Isa's 9 Month Session

Wow - I can't believe that baby Isa is already 9 months old!!! My favorite part about what I do is getting to watch these little ones grow up. And what a beautiful little girl she is growing up to be! :)

Kansas City Maternity Photographer - Tara's Maternity Session

Last but not least, I would like to share some images from Tara's maternity session. What a beautiful mama!!!

Another session I am excited to share, little Brooklin's 6 month session!! Brooklin and older brother Austin look so much a like - an are a couple of the sweetest children I have met. Very well mannered and full of smiles - they make my job sooo easy :) Hope you like the images!!

Kansas City Family Photography - Anderson-Jones Family Session

What a busy time it has been!! And it is almost Thanksgiving!!! Wow, where has the year gone?!? I am getting caught up on things and have a few posts to share today :)


The first session I would like to share is a family session that I did for some regular clients of mine. I had the chance to meet and photograph their extended family and I am happy to have gotten the chance to meet everyone!! It was a bit cold the day of the shoot, but everyone was such great troopers and we even made it back to the studio to warm up a bit and take a few more photos. I hope you all enjoy what we captured - I love how they are turning out!! :)

Kansas City Family Photographer - Dean Family Session

You know those type of people that you meet and just instantly become friends with? This is the Dean family. Generous and thoughtful, so happy to have met them! I have enjoyed watching Bridgett grow and can't wait to meet the new little bundle of joy. Ashley, you are glowing!!! Hope you all like the images! :)

Kansas City Newborn Photographer - Reese's Newborn Session

What a beautiful family - and precious new addition, baby Reese! We had a great session and got soooo many cute shots. And I just love this little hat and leg warmer set that Brianna brought along - too adorable!! Hope you like the images!! :)

Today I am sharing photos of one of my favorite families to photograph. They are always so sweet and stylish - I am thankful to help capture these moments for them! The images are turning out beautifully, hope you like them!!

Kansas City Baby Photographer - Leighton's 3 Month Session

I think I say it every day - but time flies!!! I can't believe that little Leighton is already 3 months, nor can I believe that it is the time for taking photos for Christmas!!


Valerie, Leighton's mom, was so excited for some smiley baby photos, but Leighton had her own plan for the session - taking a wonderfully long nap. Leighton did let mom have her way a little too - she gave a couple big sleepy grins :) Valerie, you may have your hands fun with this one!! :)

Kansas City Wedding Photography - Tony and Ashley's Wedding Day

Tony and Ashley, you are such a wonderful couple. I really enjoyed helping you capture your wedding day. You all were glowing and I think everyone could feel the dynamic love you share. Thanks so much for letting me share your day with you! Hope you love the images!! :)

Kansas City Twin Photography - Mackey & Drue's Newborn Session

There is only one thing better than a newborn - TWO newborns!!!! :) I guess it is easy for me to say that though since I am not the one doing the double duty care! :) These little guys are just too cute for words and I look forward to watching them grow up together. Hope you like the images as much as I do!

Kansas City Baby Photography - Dax's 9 Month Session

I am excited to share another post of one of my favorite little guys, Dax. I can't believe he is already 9 months old!!! He could not have been happier during the session and we captured soooo many great smiles! I look forward to showing you the rest - they are turning out beautifully!!

Kansas City Event Photographer - Ava's 1st Birthday Party

The first year flies by way too fast. They go from precious newborns, to babbling babies, to toddlers with a mouth full of teeth in a blink of an eye. Every stage is so much fun and it seems to just get better and better.  Before you know it they are 1 and letting their personality shine! I think that is why 1st birthday parties are so fun to shoot - such happiness, curiosity, excitement! 

Here are some images from gorgeous little Ava Lynne's 1st birthday party. And a little teaser from her 1 year photo session. She is such a doll!!! Hope you like them! :)

Kansas City Child Photographer - Brooklin & Austin

I loooove red heads - and I have two to show you today!!! There is nothing more beautiful than red hair and pale skin! Hopefully they don't have that infamous red head temper :) If they do, they sure didn't show it during the session. We had a great time and got some wonderful shots! Hope you love them!!

Kansas City Baby Photographer - Brooks 6 Month Session

This handsome little guy is Brooks. As you know, babies are so unpredictable. Just when you think you have them on a schedule they prove you wrong. Brooks decided he didn't care to take a nap the day of his session. I have to admit, I was a little worried how he would take to the session being short on sleep. And oh my gosh, he did AMAZING! He didn't fuss - he was absolutely content - and he even shared that beautiful smile. I am really happy with how the images are turning out. Hope you all are too!!

Kansas City Child Photographer - Isa and Kate

How photogenic are these girls?!?! I just love photographing them! Ryan - you are going to be beating the boys off with a stick! :) You have a couple of beauties on your hands! Hope you all love the the images as much as I do! Can't wait to show you the rest!

Kansas City Newborn Photography - Claire's Newborn Session

This red head beauty is Claire. I just looove that full head of red hair!! And this 'hands under chin shot' has to be one of my faves - she just looks so elegant and sweet. Hope you enjoy the images!

Kansas City Engagement Photographer - Tristin & Matt

I am so excited to share this post!!! This BEAUTIFUL couple is Tristin and Matt. Talk about making my job easy, not sure you can take a bad photo of either one of them! I hope you all love the pics as much as I do!! Looking forward to capturing your wedding next May!

Kansas City Newborn Photographer - Leighton Newborn Session

This six day old beauty is Leighton. Isn't she a doll?! Just love those pouty lips :) She made me work pretty hard, but we got some really great shots!! Hope you like how they are turning out!

Kansas City Family Photographer - Cady Family Session

I have some images to share from a family session I did for a family I have know for a long time.  This family is from my home town of Russellville, we actually lived right down the road from one another.  I had a lot of fun catching up and am so happy that they made the trip up to KC for the session.  And let me tell you, it can be hard to keep kids entertained when doing a session this large and they did absolutely fabulous!!  It took some work, but they gave such wonderful smiles.  We got so many good shots!  Hope you like them!!  :)

Kansas City Event Photographer - Bridget's 1st Birthday Party

I have a fun group of images to share of Bridget's 1st Birthday Party (you can see the full slideshow of images here: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=711265287071&oid=299988450154&comments). 

Ashley and Justin did such a great job putting the party together. Everything was perfect, right down to the cute personalized cups and birthday banner :) 

I love watching little ones grow from precious babies to toddlers with their own unique personalities. The first year is such a fun time and it goes by way way too fast. I am so happy to have helped capture Bridget's! And I look forward to meeting her little sibling to be early next year!! :)

Kansas City Family Photographer - Cason & Tyson Session

Today I am sharing some images from a family session that we did for the Cason and Tyson families.  It was super hot the day of the session, but everyone did a really great job working through the heat.  And although it was hot, it made for great lighting and a beautiful sky - which gave us the opportunity to capture one of my fav silhouette shots of the year!  How perfect would that look as a large canvas over the fireplace!!  Hope you all enjoy the images!!  I really like how they turned out :)

Kansas City Senior Photographer - Amanda's Senior Session

First 2012 Senior of the year! 
This gorgeous girl is Amanda. We had a great session, with perfect weather, and took way too many photos. It was so hard narrowing them down!  And I just love those cowboy boots - they make me want to go buy a pair!  Looking forward to our fall session!! :)

Kansas City Newborn Photographer - Brooklin's Newborn Session

What a little darling I have to show you today.  This is beautiful baby Brooklin.  She did so good at the session and even gave us a few little grins :)  I wish we knew what newborns were thinking during these dreamy smiles.  Such innocence...perfection...beauty.  Truly miracles.  Hope you enjoy the images! :)

Kansas City Baby Photographer - Colton's 1 Year Session

Today I am sharing photos of one of my favorite little guys to photograph, Colton Ryan.  I have had the pleasure of photographing this little one since he was 3 months old and have enjoyed watching him grow.  He is always so happy and gives the best little grins.  These images are from his 1 year session - time has flown! - and I just love every one.  It was so hard to pick out the teasers for the blog, but here they are.  I hope you like them!!  :)

Kansas City Baby Photographer - Sophie's 3 Month Session

Check out this cutie!! Grandparents, Marc & Deby, set up Sophie's 3 months session as a surprise gift for their daughter's birthday. How cool is that?!?! It was a lot of fun and we got a ton of great images. After Sophie got in a little cat nap she was full of smiles! But I think her serious face is just as cute :)

Kansas City Baby Photographer - Isa's 3 Month Photo Session

Another beautiful little girl for you, meet baby Isa! How gorgeous is that name?! Love it. Isa didn't care much for the camera this time around, but we still managed to get some beautiful shots - hard not too with that face. And it is only fair after the perfect angel she was during her newborn session. Hope you enjoy the images! :)

Just had to share...

Kansas City Baby Photographer - Ava's 6 Month Photo Session

It has taken way too long, but I have finally started a blog!! I kept saying I wanted to put one together, but kept finding other things to keep me busy. I am sooooo excited to have it finished and to share what I am working on with everyone!! Please feel free to leave some comments and let me know what you think!! :)

What a beautiful little face to start off with, meet Ava Lynne. I had a great time photographing her and I just adore her family - they are so sweet, really great people. But enough with my rambling, here is the adorable 6 month old doll herself, Ava Lynne...
