I’ve had the pleasure of shooting and designing their holiday card for the past few years, but they had a little something extra to be thankful for this year. Something of the two-legged variety with ten tiny fingers and ten tiny toes.  He arrived before Thanksgiving and I think he’s just perfect.

These are a few of my favorites from their holiday card mini-session and the resulting combined holiday/birth announcement card design. (Names blurred for privacy; custom-knitted hat by Angelbeez.)

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.

I really don’t have to say a word about how much I loved the fabulous textures and color of her outfits. Or her hair. Her expressions. Her ‘bring it on” personality. Or her favorite furry accessory in the first image. Sort of explains the term ‘puppy dog eyes’ doesn’t it?

Nope. I’m not gonna say a word. I’ll just let the pictures do the talking.

(Hint: the pictures are shouting ‘holy cow’. Loudly. )

My phone rang less than a minute after we’d finished our session and were headed home in our respective cars. It was his mom:

“I just called to let you know that right after I strapped him into his seat, he reversed his baseball hat, leaned back casually and said, ‘Awesome.’”

To which all I could do was smile from ear to ear.  Because three-year-old boys can be a tough crowd in this business and I know that one little “awesome” is about the best affirmation a photographer can get.

Oh yeah.  I think he’s pretty awesome, too.
