Natural Beauty | Kansas City Senior Photographer

I loved meeting this sweet, natural beauty and her mom for her senior photo shoot at Antioch Park.  When we got there, her mom told me that she was glad I suggested we shoot there because, when this senior was little, they used to live close by and play there!  How poetic!  So, you’ll see how gorgeous she is in a minute, but even though I just spent a little time with her, I can say with certainty that she is just as gorgeous on the inside.  I could’ve shot her for days :)

 

 

My little nephew | Olathe Newborn Photographer

On my birthday I got to snuggle with my new little nephew for these pictures.  I can’t think of a better gift.  He’s perfect.

I usually go for the simple newborn shots without too many props, but if you know my brother, you know we had to get a baseball in a shot!

He folded his little hands like this on his own.  So sweet.

And my gorgeous sister-in-law…

 

 

2 @ 2 | Johnson County Family Photographer

Kids will be kids, and two 2-year-olds will be two 2-year-olds.  That is what makes them cute, charming, full of life, and fun to look at.  These 2 were exactly that:  twins that had their own agenda.  My favorites of this family are all the ones where we just let the kids be kids.  We DID attempt to get a posed shot of just the little ones at the end that included bribery rewards, but they weren’t having it.  They just wanted to play around with their sweet big brother and parents and explore beautiful Ironwoods Park in the fall.  Can you blame them?  I think I came away with family portraits that show who they really are–portraits that FEEL.  And that makes me happy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A great gift | Kansas City Family Photographer

Why did you have to wait so long to see this post (from when it was warm–hot, actually)?  Because I was worried that my world famous blog with all of its 2 subscribers would ruin the surprise for a woman in Iowa.  Ha!  Well, anyway, this woman got a very nice Christmas present from her kids, and now, I can finally blog about it!  These pictures will probably make you wish it was warm now :)   Enjoy!
