An urban holiday {Kansas City child+family photography}
I held on posting this session at the time we conducted it late last year because we were designing holiday cards and didn’t want to spoil the surprise for friends and family. Thank goodness for little yellow sticky notes, because today I remembered that I still hadn’t shared this session with you – and these two are way too cute not to share! It was freezing cold the morning we shot these and I’m super impressed by the patience of their little guy as we explored downtown, wiped runny noses and aimed to get shots for their card. We ended up with so many more wonderful images than I would have imagined given the chilly morning. Below are my favorites from the session, the front and back of their chosen holiday card design and a 10×20 storyboard created as well. The storyboards are a terrific way to display multiple images with text in one fine art print mounted on 2mm styrene, durable masonite or lightweight “standout” board.
Enjoy this beautiful family and our urban adventure!







I chose the shot below to showcase the “Contact Me” section of my website with the title “Give me a shout” …. she’s actually in an old phone booth, how cool is that?

The final front and back of their custom-designed holiday card (we selected a gritty old typewriter font to go along with the more “shabby” downtown feel:
