She came with many nicknames and those big, curious eyes. My favorite by far was “Ana-Banana.” It’s been in my head ever since our session. But then, so has she. Just a tiny, tiny little force to be reckoned with, she entered the world a few months early and only a few pounds. And, at 8 months, she’s still small (wearing 3-month sizes), but I can tell already that beautiful Ana is no shrinking violet – something I say is going to serve this little diva well as she grows.

This session was one of the first sessions we were able to do outdoors this Spring season; it’s actually a combination indoor studio and outdoor natural light session. And, in typical Kansas fashion, just one hour after our field pictures, the sky got very dark, temps dropped significantly and storms came in. I’m so glad we got out there when we did!

Enjoy a few of my favorites:

Having some fun with a washed out vintage look in post-processing. Yes, I still love my rich colors, but this is nice, too.
