Capturing your family's moments together

A little rain never hurt anyone, right? Even though the rain threatened to ruin the Fall Mini sessions are Antioch Park, we improvised and had some great sessions. Luckily there was a covered pavilion that worked perfect to protect us from the rain but still provide a great Fall colored backdrop. First up was this little SWEETHEART. 6 months earlier I had the pleasure of photographing his entire family in this same park and was beyond thrilled and honored when his mom contact

It was the 60° degree Sunday that didn't happen. On Friday the forecast looked awesome but by Sunday evening it was 40° and windy. But this family braved the chilly evening and looked fantastic doing it! We worked quick and got some adorable shots of their littles. Little Miss, who is usually a ham for the camera, was not having the cold but she did great! Little dude wasn't so sure what was going on but look at those baby blues matched perfectly to his shirt - good job Mama

Leigh is the owner of Leigh Mitchell Photography and we did a family session swap this past fall. As a photographer, it is often difficult to make it in front of the camera so we were happy to be able to help each other out with some updated family portraits. His girls were full of spunk and energy and his little boy was so sweet during our session at Antioch Park in Overland Park, KS.

Something wonderful happens when toddlers grow up. In my (limited) experience sometimes magical happens around age 3.5 and the kiddos get so fun. These two boys are 3 and 5 and were a lot of fun at our session. We laughed the whole time and they did such a great job. Pair that with an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Fall evening - I mean, look at that light! Our session at Balck Hoof Park in Lenexa, KS was magical and I am in love with all the photos from their session. These boys knocked it

These three kiddos!?! They were so cute and did so good at our session at Black Hoof Park in Lenexa, KS. Each kid's personality was so different yet they fit together so well. Their oldest, age 3 1/2, is full of spunk and so friendly. Their middle, age 2 (our session was on his birthday!), is camera shy but so well behaved. And their youngest, age 6 months, is so chill and easy-going. I can only imagine what a day in their life looks like with three littles but I am sure as t

Fall is the most popular time to have family pictures taken, especially in the Kansas City area, for so many reasons. Life is starting to calm down now that the kids are back in school. The leaves start to change and make for a beautiful backdrop. The evening temperatures start to cool down which make for a pleasant environment. And with the holidays right around the corner, everyone likes to update their family portrait to use on holiday cards and/or presents for grandparent

Sometimes weekends seem like we are just trying to find something to do to pass the time and "get through" the day. Having young kids is exhausting - just ask anyone. But along the way we try to find little ways to do special things - they might not seem special at the time but when we take a step back and reflect these times with our kids are special and it will be what their childhood memories are made of. It was a last minute decision to throw some food in a bag, grab the
