Maddie The Magician | Kansas City MO Child Photographer

I just love the innocence of a child, their never ending imaginations, and I love that I get to capture it for a living or just around my own home. This series of pictures was just my daughter at play, showing me her "magic trick." I love this little girl to pieces I tell ya!

Buster & Terra Engaged | Kansas City MO Engagement Photographer

Awh, the wonders of social networking. You can find almost anyone, family, friends you've lost touch with. That is just what happend in my case. Terra and I were BFFs in elementary school and then she moved away and we lost touch. Fast foward *cough 20 years cough* and I found her on Facebook. A few months later she asks me to do her engagement photos and I couldn't be more excited. It was so nice to spend the afternoon with her and her fiance and do their pictures.

Janet - Portrait Session | Kansas City MO Portrait Photographer

I asked my friend Janet to let me do some photos of her and happily she accepted. It's so nice to shoot an adult, someone who needs very little direction and doesnt run from the camera. I would love to do more shoots like this. If youre interested, please get in contact with me. Here is Janet's shots as America's Next Top Model :)

Emily Turns One | Kansas City MO Toddler Photographer

Emily's birthday ends "birthday season" in our family. And with her birthday comes some sadness for me. It means no more babies in our house. It's bittersweet, but I do love watching her grow. I am so happy with how her session came out. She was a natural pro at modeling for me.

Arieonna - 2 Month | Kansas City MO Newborn Photographer

Back in March I was blessed with the birth of my nephew Trevor and in the same week my niece Arieonna. Arieonna was diagnosed with Emmanual Syndrome shortly after birth. But she is a fighter and is doing great and progressing well. A couple days ago I got to do her very first pictures since she was born. There was multiple outfit changes, 2 grandmas, all sorts of shifting here and there... and she did wonderful! I was so suprised of how much she let us put her through.

Dylan Turns The Big 1-0 | Kansas City MO Childrens Photographer

Oh my goodness how the time has flown. Ten years ago today I became a mommy for the very first time. It seems so unreal that it was that long ago. I am so proud of the little man he is becoming. We went out to a local high school football feild to do his shoot. I don't get to do to many boy-themed shoots it seems like, so I had a lot of fun with this one.

Trevor at One Month | Kansas City MO Newborn Photographer

I thought while I babysat my nephew this week that I would do some pictures to celebrate him being one month. He did so good and is such a natural in front of the camera. I also got a shot of him with his big sister Lily.

Cousins | Kansas City MO Teen Photographer

This was one of the quickest shoots I think I've ever had. The grandma wanted a couple shots of her granddaughters all together and thats exactly what we got. It took about 10 mins. Talk about easy work. :)

Annabelle Turns One | Kansas City MO Toddler Photographer

My friends little girl, whom I've been shooting since she was born turned one today. We went to Crown Center and Union Station to do her shoot. I also brought along Emily who is now ten months to get some shots of her too. We had a pretty nice day. Both girls did great and we had a nice lunch. Here are the shots.

And here are a couple of Emily's.

Maddie Turns 4 | Kansas City MO Child Photographer

My sweet middle child turned 4 today. She's growing so fast and has such a big personality. Since we had nice weather we decided to go up to the Historic Independence Square here in Independence for her photoshoot. This is the first time doing a shoot there for me and I have to say I am in love. Here is here birthday photos.
