Welcome to my photography blog l Kansas City newborn and child photographer
I’m a newborn, child and high school senior photographer located in Kansas City and this is my blog — the place where I post peeks each week from the latest sessions as well as updates on scheduling, special promotions and more. You’re also invited to check out my full website at www.kamibradyphotography.com. Beneath each post here, after the very last image, is a Comments section where you can leave a comment or question. I love hearing from you!
On any given page (including the Archives), you’ll see the 4 most recent sessions, so click on the little pink “Older Blog Posts” link at the bottom of any page to see more. You can also browse by month/category on the Archives tab above or hit the Subscribe tab and receive an e-mail when a new post is published. Thanks for stopping by!
Now booking September through November sessions:
The summer months are booked for Signature Sessions, but I plan to hold at least one mini session day in July. If you’d like to be added to my wait list for a slot during that time or in the event of a cancellation, please let me know. I am now booking for September through November. As I hold out a specific number of newborn sessions each month to ensure I offer everyone my very best time and attention, it’s never too soon to get on the books for maternity and/or newborn sessions. If you’re an expectant mother, schedule your session prior to the baby’s birth to ensure we hold time slots around your baby’s due date for a newborn session within the first 5-10 days of life.

Kami, I can’t believe all these beautiful pictures are of my baby girl. We had a wonderful experience and I think you captured Elle’s essence and beauty beyond our expectations. Thank you so much.
says:
I love your photographs and all the natural light you use. Can i ask you what you shoot with and what lens you use the most. My daughter who is ten wants to be a photographer. I can only hope that her dreams will come true. She found your blog and looks at if often.
thank you, Regina

Kami, What a precious baby. You got alot of great shots. The one on the shelf is just to cute. I had to look close to find her. She blended in so nicely. Your accomplishment was successful. What a beautiful family. You are super.
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

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!
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!
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.
says:

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.
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.
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!
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!

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.

Newborn Josephine l Kansas City newborn photographer
First there was little Jax (a few posts down). Now there’s beautiful Josephine. And, soon you’ll see new baby Journee. It’s a “J” thing over here and I’m loving it. These are some of my favorites from her session. Although I’ve said many times how much I adore a really rich black and white, I’m a color girl at heart. BTW – Josephine’s very talented grandma made the fabulous little bloomers you see on the red chair. (Yep, that’s the sound of my brain working overtime on new color combos I can commission her for). Enjoy!

It ought to be criminal l Kansas City child photographer
… to be a boy and have lashes this gorgeous.

I’ve been promising Carter’s mom that he’s next up on the blog for a few weeks now. Fortunately, I wasn’t lying – he really was next up. I just needed a few more hours in each day the past two weeks to focus on blogging. And that just hasn’t happened. So Grandma Gail is visiting (much to Bella’s delight) and I’m taking the next few days off to have fun and perhaps catch up on a few posts here.
So without further ado, meet Carter. Pensive little thinker with an inner adventurer. The one with the to-die-for-lashes. All boy.

Yvonne – thank you for always being such a supporter! (And being so great about commenting!)
Melissa and Michelle — He is a super fast boy, but my oh my … when he stops long enough to give one of “those” looks … ahhhh … my heart melts.
says:
You have really caught my nephew’s personality with these photo’s! When I am in town the only thing I get a picture of is the back of his head as he runs on to his next adventure.
says:
Kami, I can’t say it enough, these are just such wonderful pictures! They make me smile every time I see them! You’ve gained a forever client!
says:
He’s so adorable! Love the variety you got and how you captured his personality!

There’s a story behind that l Kansas City couples photographer
Celebrating 50 years together. There’s a story behind that, he told me. Wanna hear it?
Are you kidding?!, I said. You bet.
As he tells it, she was just 17 years old when he attended a wedding in which she was a bridesmaid. Upon meeting her for the first time, he proposed.
She laughed it off and said no. I mean, she was 17 and who did this guy think he was, after all?
Never one to back down from a challenge, he looked her square in the eye and said, “I’m only going to ask you three times and then I’ll never ask again. You’ve already turned me down once, so that leaves two more chances.”
Being the savvy girl she was, she opted for a few dates instead of a ring. And he kindly obliged.
And then he asked again. To which she replied, no. Again.
(Did I mention this guy was stubborn and not easily deterred?)
So the courtship continued and, feeling brave, he asked once more. As it turns out, the third time really is …. well … charming. And so are they.
Photographing the two of them, hearing their stories and witnessing the ease and devotion that fifty years has nurtured left a giant mark on my soul. If it’s possible to have a couples crush, then they are mine. And I’m fairly certain I took far more away from their session than I ever could give through imagery.
Congratulations, John and Joyce!

They look so happy together. What a great example for us all! I wish them many more years together.
says:
Thank you, Theresa! I agree with you about that. They look incredibly young for having so much life behind them. She is a triathlete as a matter of fact.
says:
What a wonderful story /post! Love must keep them young as they certainly look happy enough to have been married 50 yrs but not old enough. I’m sure they’ve taught a lot to many people along the way. Well done sister.

Boys of summer – part one l Kansas City child photographer
The first image pretty much sums up the spirit of this session. In the midst of a few outfit changes and a pretty humid morning, we managed to play, jump, laugh, blow bubbles, chill … and capture these two beautiful summer boys. I instantly fell in love with this family.
I kept asking mom and dad where the baby got those stunning blue eyes and the quick answer was “Grandpa.” I had no idea just how much he resembled said Grandpa until I met him just a few weeks later for a 50th anniversary session. Turns out, they were spot on. I plan on blogging them next, so stay tuned.





Remember those “unscripted moments” I talked about in the last blog post? Yep. The next image was another one of those. I was busy shooting big brother above and just happened to turn around and look behind me. There, on the grass was Dad and little guy just hanging out. I couldn’t have planned this one any better.
