Oh what a joy this shoot was! Little Maddison was such a trooper, even after a little fall in the grass. She hung in there while mom and I came up with several costume location changes. This was an important shoot for me because I love getting experience photographing babies at different stages. They change so much from week to week so I need all the practice I can get! Thanks to Maddison and Lindsay for letting me tag along for the afternoon; it was so much fun!

My very talented friend Jonathan asked me to do head shots to send out and I was a little nervous because it has been awhile since I used lighting equipment and shot in a formal setting. I did give him some head shots but we also had a great time doing some Rachel style shots in one of my favorite KC spots, Screenland Theatre! They were very gracious to allow me to use the theatre. (It also happens to be where I had my wedding reception  ) Thanks to Jonathan and to Screenland and to my brand new MacBook Pro, Ella, who I suspect is going to make my life so much easier!


I’m ready for Spring! I love shooting outside the most and it’s been a nasty Winter. I have had to get more creative for my portrait sessions, but luckily I really love shooting in the subjects’ environment. This is a shoot I did of a little girl dear to my heart, Claire. Each shoot teaches me something, and working with little ones especially! Claire is always on the go, so I had to step up my game. It’s great to be pushed like that, it’s the only way to grow as a photographer. This was a really fun shoot and I’m so excited for shoots to start picking up again come Spring!

I am so fortunate to have so many friends with new babies! Thanks to one of them for letting me practice on her 2 month old baby girl. I learned ALOT about babies at that age; for instance, I didn’t realize they don’t smile much, they can’t hold their heads up, or sit up at all. It was so helpful to practice posing them so that they are comfortable and I can still get a good shot.  So much fun!
