Jen Salmans says:

You are an AMAZING photographer and I love blog stalking you - this is my first comment…I felt compelled as a mother of two daughters. This little man, his outfit and his eyes gave me a little itch for a BOY! Nice work. :)

Kami says:

Jen — thank you so much for the wonderful words! And for stalking my blog! That’s awesome. :-) Yes, he is a beautiful baby and it gave me the itch, too. I appreciate that you took the time to write!

Jenney says:

Kami,
The new site and blog look great, it was so fun to look. We had a great time over the holiday sharing our prints with family - what a wonderful gift! Love the image of the new site :) Thanks for everything!

Kami says:

Jenney - I’m so glad your family loved the images - the girls are beautiful and (judging by the many places they appear on my website) soooo photogenic!

sara farrar says:

wow. wow. and wow. these are absolutely amazing! gorgeous images, kami. not sure where this beautiful senior is going to start selecting her favorites. these truly are outstanding!

Rachel DuBois says:

Kami, I can’t get over your exquisite sense of colour. Every single last one of your photographs grabs my attention and conveys such a mood. I really am impressed at how talented you are and so wish you could come over to Scotland to capture the beauty here and us with it (I think I’d manage to end up looking pretty good thanks to your camera magic). Keep up the good work!

Kami says:

Rachel!! We miss you! I check your site now and again to see how you and Malcolm are doing. Thank you for the compliments - I DO so love color! Definitely something that’s “me” for sure.

Brenda says:

Kami, I love the pictures you took of my Granddaughter Kenadie. This is our first Grandchild and I think you caught some awesome shots of her. I don’t know how I will decide which ones to get. You are very talented. The one of my son kissing her brought tears to my eyes. You are so talented.

samantha says:

These pictures are amazing!!!! Krista looks beautiful:)

Kelli Ponce(Parsons) says:

WOW! Kami your photo’s are incredible. Mom and I ran into your Mom in Walmart a couple of weeks ago and she said you had a website and were going to be featured in a couple of local magazines. Which ones? We will keep an eye out for them. I’m so glad to see you are having so much fun with this. Looks like you have an adorable model to practice on too. I can’t believe she is 3 already. They grow too fast! Take care.

Kami says:

Hi Kelli! Thank you so much for the kudos! Yes, Bella is growing super fast! It’s crazy. I loved getting your big family photo in our Christmas card from your mom. Your oldest looks just like you!

Nick says:

Hey Kami, I am a blogger myself and I was just checking out Jai’s portfolio from blogohblog. I felt compelled to leave you a comment after just seeing your header rotater images. Outstanding work! Keep it up and God Bless!

Nicolle Scheller says:

The pics of Calvin and Emma are amazing! Such beautiful munchkins and parents. Can we get on your schedule for October? Believe it or not, Miss Chloe turns 2 on October 18th! Still no hair though :-). Talk soon.

Boutique baby {Kansas City baby photographer}

The word that kept coming to my mind when as I was processing the images from this recent baby photography session was “boutique” … especially the shots of beautiful little Mia on the chocolate zebra throw. She’s just begun to notice her toes, so this was definitely a “must have” shot and we worked really hard to get catch her with foot in hand. She didn’t disappoint. I also especially love the one of her smiling in her sleep … perhaps dreaming about the day she can sink a little fist into the coats of her many fur baby siblings. And, I had to include one outtake shot that makes me laugh every time I look at it (the last one below … suffice it to say Mia already has her own opinions about things and lying down in that hammock wasn’t exactly one of them!) Enjoy my favorites from this session!

Next up on the blog: Newborn Evie and a sunrise maternity session that was sooo worth the early hours traipsing through fields.

Outstanding! What a wonderful blessing to the parents and to the grandparents, John and Cindy to welcome this wonderful child into the world and to have such special pictures that will last a life time. The images captured are remarkable.

terri and ken in saudi says:

Aahhh! We love the one of Mia smiling in her sleep; but the family pic where she is very serious as to say, “what are you waiting for?” and the follow up one with, “well fine, I waited long enough!” both are fantastic, too! Okay, the close up of Mia just looking straight at the camera is another fav… well, really we like them all!! LOL!

Kelly F says:

LOVELY! She is such a beauty queen. I think number 3 is my favorite. Something about that little belly button roll just above her bloomers. Makes me want to kiss it! Also love the one of her at the end — classic! Smiles on mom and dad just prove what great, loving, patient parents they are. Congrats on a great session! Nice work Kami - but of course!

Would you believe … {Kansas high school senior photographer}

…. this is just a taste? Meet Hannah. The second of my 2010 Kansas high school senior reps. Beautiful doesn’t even begin to describe her inside and out. And, in case you’re wondering, the answer is “yes, I’m still pinching myself.” To say she rocked the outfits, the poses, the locations would be an understatement.

While I always go into a high school senior session with a loose plan swimming around my head (and often my notebook) filled with colors, textures and desired shots we often take a stealth approach driving around new locations and seeing what inspires us, then hopping out, staging our shots, hopping back in and so on. What makes this process even more fun is being able to do it with fun parents who “get” this style of custom, natural light photography and play a vital role in helping to achieve the final product. Reed’s mom, Robin, and Hannah’s mom, Deb, are two such parents. I had a blast with them!

These are just a few of my favorites so far. Watch for more of Hannah, part two, as I wrap processing on this session.

Next up on the blog: gorgeous little Mia.

Danny Weigel says:

Beautiful, she is absolutely gorgeous. These just turned out GREATTTT!

Robin Woodworth says:

How beautiful you are Miss Hannah! I can’t decide which is my favorite, maybe the 3rd from the last - or the one with the VW bus.

Kami - you are truly amazing!

Crosby Payton says:

Wow these turned out amazing! Beautiful pictures of a beautiful girl!

Elle Rose says:

I loved them all! Hannah looks great in all of them. I’m so excited to see the rest. This is making me excited for my senior pictures here soon with you!

Diana O says:

These pictures are truly Hannah. They turned out wonderful and her personality popped through them.

Katie Law says:

Hannah - This is not fair! I must admit I am incredibly jealous of how AMAZING your photos turned out! I wish I could go back and retake mine with Kami! These are absolutely amazing - you look so gorgeous…you must get that from your sister ;)

Can’t wait to have my own copy to put up in my room!
P.S. My fav is you in the pink dress with the heels! Love, love, LOVE it!

Melissa Law says:

How can you make a beautiful girl even more beautiful? You have Kami take her picture! These really capture Hannah’s personality. They are all great but the ones I like the best are the ones where she is laughing, that is how I picture Hannah. I would hate to have to pick-you can’t go wrong with any of them!

Becki Ackley says:

WOW! I’m glad I’m not the mom trying to pick which photos to buy! I’d have to buy them all!! Hannah, you look beautiful! I love the pics with the green dress and the boots– TOO CUTE!

Gail Cirkel says:

Great pictures Hannah. It would be hard to pick the best one. I think they are all beautiful. You are very photogentic.

Susan Mallon says:

Hannah, I love your pictures! The unique settings just complement the beautiful subject! :-) I think my favorite is the one in your jeans, but I love them all!

Lindsey Eriksen says:

These turned out amazing! They are all beautiful! My favorite is the 5th one! :) But I love them all!

Jim Smoley says:

Real good like always

Seniors 2010 - The fun begins! {Kansas high school senior photographer}

Meet Reed. The first of my 2010 high school senior reps to appear on the blog. I love photographing high school seniors just as much as I love the little ones and this session was no exception. And I’m so glad to be adding more boys to the gallery!

Could he get any more All-American?! In addition to being so handsome, he’s on the football team, loves his mom and is just an all-around great kid. (I can say “kid” now that I’m about a month away from hitting another decade milestone.) While I was taking shot number one, I noticed in a matter of seconds the sky behind him got very dark and then … boom … downpour. Serious downpour. Like the kind Tom Hanks talks about in “Forrest Gump” … “Rain coming up from the ground.” I had my camera gear shoved up under my shirt tail to keep it dry and we were stranded right there on that old train depot under the awning for a good 15 minutes while it passed. The good news: It was the last of the rain for the morning and the cloudy skies meant we could shoot anywhere we wanted without blazing, direct sun.

I’m smack in the middle of processing, but had to stop and share because I know mom is watching anxiously (there are so many more great shots, too!) Hi Robin! Watch for part two of this session next week as I wrap up. And, Deb - Hannah is next! For now, enjoy a few peeks:

Kami!!! Is that my baby?? These are wonderful! Better than I expected - I will be anxiously waiting for the others. Thanks again for being a trooper that day, it was well worth it!

Robin

Gail Cirkel says:

Your trip home Kam was a success. Reed is one handsome young man. You did a great job again. Despite the weather, you got some terrific shots. I know his mom will be totally impressed by these. Robin, he is quite a handsome lad. Super job Kami. Love you, Mom

John Woodworth says:

As a former photographer I am blown away of your use of natural light. Very good comp and set choice , thanks for comming down these will be cheerished for life.

Sandy H says:

My fav is red shirt, top of the steps! Great shots, he doesn’t look like a boy anymore :*(

Maria Catton says:

These pictures are amazing! They really capture true colors and natural surroundings with showing how much fun everyone must have had…

Melissa says:

Great pictures! I was lucky enough to be both Reed’s and Hannah’s kindergarten teacher so I know that they are both really special kids. You captured Reed’s personality as well as those beautiful eyes! I love your site!

Michelle L. says:

Oh my gosh, he looks so old and so handsome. These are great pics. I never realized Reed had such beautiful eyes. I can’t wait to look at all of them. Good luck picking them out Robin.

Anne Sellers says:

Kam, Those are wonderful pictures of Reed. I like them all, what a handsome subject with very clever backgrounds!!! Keep up the great work. Take care, Anne Sellers

Kay Schreiner says:

Wow! Reed’s eyes are amazing. I liked the different backgrounds. My favorites are the third pic with the black shirt and with the red shirt sitting on the stairs. He looks so grown up.

Deb says:

Kami, These are awesome. I can’t decide which is my favorite - they are all great. Reed looks so handsome. These children grow up so quickly. What an eye you have for capturing their spirit.

Dianne says:

These pictures are just AWESOME! He doesn’t look like a quiet second grader anymore. I love them all, but the one with Reed in his red shirt is a favorite. Thanks for sharing!

Shannon says:

He is so handsome. Where does the time go?

Saundra Sander says:

I agree, the eyes have it! Wow! I wish Kami was around when my boys got their senior pictures taken! Ooohhh! Now I want to pinch Reed’s cheeks as well as Robbie’s!

‘Cuz that’s how he rolls {Kansas City child photographer}

in pure vintage style, of course. And who could blame him? With eyes like that (and need I mention those curls?) they’re going to be lined up around the block. At least around the playground.

But somehow I think big sister’s going to be watching his every move.

Meet Calvin and Emma and their mom and dad (the ones with the great recipe for stunning babies!) This is the third time they’ve appeared on the blog and, this session, we made our way downtown - along with Dad’s vintage ride - to commemorate Calvin’s second birthday.  I couldn’t find it in me to do one black and white conversion in the whole bunch … it seemed like sacrilege in light of the amazing colors. Enjoy some of my favorites!

Joy says:

I want to hang these on my wall - and their not even my kids. Incredible photos - and such a beautiful family.

(Grandpa) Bob says:

OMG!! Y’all cannot imagine how proud I am. My friends here in Texas will all be so envious. They all look forward to the pitures I send them (at least they say they do). I, without a doubt, have the most beautiful Grandkids on the planet. Kami, you are no doubt a most accomplished photographer. These images are second to none. Sure doesn’t hurt to have great subjects either, does it?

Christine says:

Great photos- what a beautiful family and a great way to photograph them. No faked smiles, all natural, and perfect lighting!

Roy says:

Kami, excellent photographs! How do you manage to get such natural smiles from the children? What camera/lens did you use for these pictures?

Kelly, tough call on which ones to choose. I like the close-ups.

Joan says:

These are amazing pictures. I know they’re adorable, I get to see them in person….and these pictures totally do them justice!

Melody says:

Beautiful family! The pictures are incredible.

Sonja Price says:

Wow! Tough choice sister…definately the one of you and Brian, the best I have seen of the two of you in awhile :)) Um all the kids pics are awesome, Kami, great job. Can’t even pic a favorite! Okay, 1,2,4, and 5……does that help at all! These are great photographs!

Brenda at Deer Lake says:

OMG These pictures are totally awesome. I agree with Grandpa Bob, he has beautiful/handsome grandchildren and Kami, what an awesome job you have done to capture their personalities. You do have some awesome subjects here!!

MaryLou says:

These are all great! These kids are just as adorable in person!! Hard to pick a favorite - they are all great! Only wish there were more of Emma - she is a model in the making (so is Calvin!)

Great job Kami!

Kim says:

These are just awesome!! I love the greens and oranges. Calvin and Emma could probably go to work for the Gap right now.

Deonna says:

Kami - awesome work!!! Kelly & Brian you all have some BEAUTIFUL babies!!

Dana says:

These are great pictures! They all look absolutely amazing!

Kami says:

Thank you all for the kind notes! I look forward to every session with this family - they’re just fun and mom is awesome at styling the kids, too!

Roy - I shoot with a Canon 5D and several L series lenses. This entire session was shot with the 24-70/2.8L lens.

Alli says:

Wow, they are all unbelievable! Its so hard to pick a fav, but I love Emma and Calvin on the step, also the single of Emma is amazing and I love the single of Calvin in the car. Ooooh those eyes!
Kami is right, the Fowlers make beautiful babies!

Maria says:

Kelly,
You said Kami was good….but seriously, I never imagined this quality! Kami, wonderful work!

Jana says:

Gorgeous children. I love, love the three peek-a-boo pictures. Kelly, you must get all three and frame them side-by-side. I also love the picture with Calvin sitting next to the wall. Congratulations on your ability to capture such wonderful memories and sharing them with us!

Tracy says:

Wow! Those curls, those eyes!! Killing me with all the cuteness! Fantastic images!!

Sierra part two {Kansas City newborn photographer}

I think we’re officially having a baby boom … if you keep up with this blog, then you’ll probably agree.  I had a mom text me this morning to say her water had broken (she didn’t “sign” her text, so it took me a few minutes to determine which of my expectant clients was on the way to the hospital) and by this afternoon, they welcomed a dark-haired, big-eyed, long-lashed beauty into the world. You’ll see her on the blog very soon along with several boys yet to be born in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, enjoy part two that of Sierra’s newborn photography session peeks. You can see part one here. Mom and Dad are wedding photographers in their own right (no pressure!) and wanted to ensure this session really captured their family with the baby, especially her big brother.

While the focus of a newborn session is typically those distinct images of the baby, I always tell parents who request shots of sibling(s) younger than age five with the newborn, that I will do my absolute best to work a few in (time permitting and once I’m sure we’ve captured the most important shots of baby alone).  I also underscore that, in these situations, we nearly always “get what we get” depending on the sibling’s desire to cooperate … something any parent of a toddler and preschooler totally understands. All that said, I have to say in this session, big brother was really, really good to us!

I’d love to say we planned it in the fourth image down, but the most beautiful things often just happen naturally … mid-pose, Sierra reached her left hand up to grasp brother’s hand from above. Enjoy!

Bye bye baby … {Kansas City child photographer}

… hello toddler! It’s a big world out there and we had a lot of exploring to do during this session to commemorate his first birthday. Dad just happens to be one of KC’s finest, so it was a no-brainer when Mom suggested one of his outfits play off of that theme, especially given our urban backdrops. We managed to wait out a random rain shower and endured a few puddles; but overall, I’d say his bright eyes and many expressions were well worth the effort. We also had a chance to try out the rocking horse … new vintage thrift store find that I’ve been saving for just the right session.

Happy Birthday, little man.

You know you want one. {Kansas City newborn photographer}

This is a quick peek at a newborn session I’m currently post-processing. There will definitely be a blog peek part two when I’m done. But for now, enjoy a few of the shots that caught my eye and pulled at my heart. Just 8 days old and 100 percent pure squishy, bendy, curly newborn goodness. Love her little back wrinkles!

“Family” {Kansas City family photographer}

I’ve been on such a roll with the littlest ones lately (which I love, but variety helps to keep the ideas fresh), that it was a great change of pace to photograph older siblings and their beautiful mom. No diaper changes required for this more traditional session, no wraps, slings or baskets. Just a loving family and the sentimental elements of their church as our background. It was my pleasure to meet them and spend a little time on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Enjoy some of my favorites from their session.

Of sugar and spice and everything nice … {Kansas City newborn photographer}

At 2 1/2 weeks old, she had every intention of staying awake and outlasting us … but I knew better.  In the end, we had to pull out the big guns - a.k.a. “Grandma” and a good rocking chair. Then she was all ours … putty in our hands … and our hats … and our slings. All shots were done in the client’s home with natural light and my 24-70/2.8L.

And, even though Dad says he didn’t like being in front of the camera, I think these peeks from their session tell a completely different story.  He may not like getting his picture taken, but man oh man, is he quite taken with her. Moreover, I think shot number three is proof positive that those smiles aren’t always ‘just gas’ and they really do laugh with us (or merely at us) even at 2 1/2 weeks old.

Meet Josie. Beautiful hair, gorgeous little baby chubs and the latest set of blue eyes to grace this blog. Stay tuned as I switch gears this week and next to shoot several bigger kids and high school seniors and commercial photography for several Kansas City corporate clients.

More babies! Playing catch up … {Kansas City baby photographer}

I wrapped processing beautiful Kenadie and handsome little Brekken over the past two weeks and hadn’t made it back to the blog to add a few additional favorites from their sessions. There are three more newborn girls coming up in the next three weeks, so stay tuned. Maybe it’s spring … I think my business might be trying to tell me something …. hmmm. I’ve got a few new things “vintage” and “shabby” we’ll be trying out - should be fun!

Newborn Session Timing

A helpful tip if you or someone you know is interested in a newborn session: Book your session early while you’re still pregnant. Not only does this remove the task of remembering to schedule a session once you’ve got far more important things taking up your time (like feeding, bathing, diapering, etc.), but it helps us secure a general timeframe around your due date for your newborn session that is within 10 days of birth, preferably about six days following birth. That’s the timeframe most newborns are most easily “molded” into those sleepy, curly positions that we love and it’s typically the period before any baby acne or colic will set in if it’s going to happen. I’ve talked about this in previous posts, but it’s always a good reminder every so often.

Another unique idea: A newborn session or First Year Package is a great shower or gift idea for any new mom-to-be … gift certificates are available in any denomination, contact me for details.
