This Sweet Little Lady: Children Photography, Liberty Missouri

This lovely little lady just turned 4 and we had a great time documenting her new year. I've had a wonderful time photographing her through out the years. I had the opportunity of taking one of her first professional photos when she was adopted and brought to her home with her awesome family here in the states. Kenzie is still the sassy, fun girl that I've come to expect from her pictures. I love this first one. She's just a real-life doll!

Morgan Kids - Children Photography, Shoal Creek Golf Course, Liberty Missouri

This is such a great family. I've had the pleasure of doing four sessions with them throughout the years and I look forward to them each season. I can't believe how grown up they are getting. Their oldest is such a sweet, responsible young lady....and I remember when she was a little girl in primary. Wow how time flies! Each of their children are unique and special, but they all have a common bond of coming from such a good, strong family. We had a super time during this session, and were grateful for the mild temperatures in June. I'm especially grateful as we've had thunderstorms pretty much every day this week, so to have my photo day blessed with such good weather is just well, incredible! I think the parents were worried that the boys might get muddy or splashed by the water before we could get our shots, but being a mom of the two craziest boys this side of the river, well, I didn't mind their love of wood chips, tad poles and skipping rocks across the water.

By the way, let me explain the random cow shot. This is the scene for me as I drive home from most photo sessions by my house. We are so lucky that our neighbors are these darling cows. We actually name them (well, you never know if we've seen the same cows twice, but we like to pretend). As I was driving home from the shoot (the 2 minute drive) I saw these cows and the way the sky looked so blue and stormy and the way the light was giving them halos and well, I had to stop and snap a few shots. People driving down the parkway thought I was crazy, I'm sure, as well as the dear, sweet cows. I could see worry in many of their large eyes -- the cows, that is.

A Mover & a Shaker - Family Children Photographer, Parkville, Missouri

Tandy and I go way back. Back to West Junior High's 8th Grade Concert Band's disgruntled flute section (1, 2, tree.... remember? Mr. Roller?!) While both of us have abandoned our flutes, I'm so glad that we've remained friends for so long. (even if I am the world's worst long-distance friend... you know it's true...right Jenn, Rochelle, Cindy?!)

I was so glad we finally got to do this session. This was a baby gift for Tandy's sweet little daugther, but time flies and we finally got to do it. She's a darling little girl who's always on the run. We were grateful she stood still long enough to capture some nice ones. Enjoy the preview!

Little Reese - Newborn Photography - Kansas City - Liberty, Missouri

Little Reese is just more than a week. Isn't she just adorable?! She was scheduled to be delivered by c-section on Monday, May 11, but came a day earlier -- Mother's Day. What a way to celebrate Mother's Day? She is a darling baby who never really cried. She did -- like most of my newborns -- have an accident (on Daddy!) but I jinxed us when I told Reese's mom that I'd never had a #2 accident with a newborn. Reese more than made up for that, three times! She's just so cute, though, that "the incident" didn't spoil our session.

Cute Boys: Children Photography, Liberty Missouri, Shoal Creek Golf Course

I love these cute boys, although it's amazing that we got them to sit still for more than two seconds, as they are always on the go.

We went to the waterfall again and I just love this location!

- Enjoy!

Britt's Outdoor Session: Senior Photography, Kearney MO High School, Hodge Park

Rember this adorable senior from Kearney? She's getting ready to graduate and we (along with her fabulous Mom) had the best time this morning. It was calling for rain, but we lucked out as we had perfect weather for this morning's session. As always a pleasure :o)
