Capturing your family's moments together

You've chosen the photographer and date of your next photography session. You're working on finding the perfect outfits that coordinate but don't match {easier said than done}. Now you have to decide on the perfect location around Kansas City and Johnson County for your session. Over the years I have shot at tons of locations around the city and have complied a list of my favorite spots below. 1. Heritage Park Located in Olathe near 159th and Pflumm, Heritage Park has so many

This Spring has been the season for extended family sessions! I love how each family dynamic is so different, yet the same at the core. It's fun to see families come together to document this season in their life - even if everyone isn't super excited about having their photo taken. But I know after the session and years later these photos will be treasured as a time capsule. I met Rachel last fall at the Overland Park fall mini sessions. When she contacted me to purchase a g

They started as two, grew to five and now they are nine and counting. As a family photographer in Kansas City, it's a privledge to be invited into a family for a short time. Our morning at Loose Park was perfect. For a late June morning we couldn't have asked for better weather - it was 75°F and partly cloudy - unheard of for summer in Kansas City. I have known Nancy for years through work and was honored she hired me to capture her entire family - even if they weren't too ex

Shooting in Parkville, MO at English Landing Park was kind of like coming home for me. I went to college at Park University {over a decade ago - how is that possible!} where the beautiful campus overlooks the Missouri River and this great park. I didn't visit it nearly enough in my four years so it was great to come back as a family photographer and experience it in a whole new light. It seems like most of my previous sessions were of families with young kids so having a pre-

So often as a family photographer in Kansas City I meet small families with young babies and kids. The Vera Family session was so different and so fun as there were 15 people spanning 4 generations. It had been over 20 years since this family has had extended family photos taken and Grandma decided it was finally time to make it a priority and I was honored to capture these special photos for them. I am sure that these images will be treasured for years to come. They were a g

As soon as I started talking with Aeneva I knew I was going to like her! And then we decided to do an in-home session for their fall family photos in Oalthe and I was thrilled. I love capturing a family in their "natural habitat". There's something about being at home that puts everyone at ease - especially with a toddler. Gavin and his parents have a beautiful home with beautiful light filling the room. When then headed outside and let Gavin do his thing. I was amazed at how

Polite. Charming. Fun. Loving. Character. These brothers have it all. We had a great time at Heritage Park in Olathe, KS at their fall family session. The boys were so much fun to work with and did great in all the poses and had a fantastic time in the process. Mom wanted a "cohesive" look for the portraits of her boys and I think we nailed it! Look at those smiles. And those fun family shots - amazing! ??? #family #fallpics
