Sing'n in the Rain: Family Portraits, Shoal Creek Hodge Park

Not rain, lightning, hail or threat of tornado could stop this adorable family of five. You have to love their persistance. When it started to pour, we even did a pose underneath a covered porch. I do photography sessions at Shoal Creek's Hodge Park all the time, but the Pecks had some good ideas on different places I hadn't seen before on this lovely city park. The Three Little Bears cabin was too cute, and I love that the kids highlight of the trip was catching the frog! At least it wasn't a snake! Love this family. They are so fun to work with and it was a pleasure.

High School Friends - Family Portraits, Children Portraits, Shoal Creek Hodge Park

I was so excited to see my friend Heather from high school (Go Pioneers!) and meet her two darling children. Heather and her hubby were high school sweethearts, and they are still so in love! Their family was a pleasure to photograph. Her daughter has so much personality. They were worried we wouldn't get her to crack and smile, but with the help of Pepe the Wonder Dog Puppet, some 4-year-old potty humor and her super fun dad, you would never know she wasn't a happy-go-lucky girl. Heather's handsome 1st graders was a great poser and always ready for me to take his picture. Too cute! I had a blast, guys!

P.S. I always thought our school had a weird mascot....but my hubby's alma mater was the Colonists.... pretty close on the weird-o-meter to our beloved Pioneers!

Little Bundle of Joy - Maternity Photography - Liberty, MO

How sweet are these two little (I mean, big) cuties. They will make the best big sister and big brother to their new little sibling coming late spring. This family was a pleasure to work with and had such fun ideas for the maternity session. I think they turned out so cute, too! Enjoy the preview of your session!

Little Eliza - Children's Photography - Liberty, MO

Little Eliza has really grown up! I can't believe it's been a year since we did her baby pictures. She is just really coming into her own and we had a fun time together. We love her family and enjoy every time we get together for photo sessions (and just for dinner!) Enjoy!

Brittany, Senior Session

(Click on the images to see larger versions!)

Brittany and her mother Candy where just a delight to work with. They are both so fun and after five minutes, they were no longer clients, but friends. We had a good time in the studio, getting pictures of Britt in her cheer uniform, letter jacket, and other favorite clothes. Doesn't she have beautiful glowing skin. Oh, to be a teen again! Here is a sneek preview of her session. Enjoy! I'd love to do a session for the whole family this spring...if not, we'll have to do lunch!



What's great about Brittany? She's the only senior to jump in the ball pitt!

Happy Valentines Day!

It feels like we were just doing the big Christmas Card rush - tons of photo sessions, last minute print jobs and getting them to clients in time to be mailed - and now it's time for Valentines Day. I love doing sessions with my kiddos, but it's always harder than I anticipate being mom and the photographer at the same time. Lollie pops, pleading and lots of goofy smiles later, I think we did suprisingly good. The boys favorite part was jumping...those didn't make the cut, but I'll post some here later. I hope Daddy likes his cards as much as the boys do!

Blazers Basketball

I had the chance to do a little league soccer team this fall and I still need to post their pictures for your viewing pleasure, but here is a little league basketball team we just did pictures for. Aren't they adorable! Even cuter when they play. I blurred out their last names for privacy on the cards and composite.
