… why not a splash of color?

I’m finally going back through the summer/fall sessions in Kansas City and blogging them. The upside to that random style of blogging is I get to fall in love with the little people and their myriad of expressions all over again; the downside … well … let’s just say I recently shot his 1-year session.

I’ve photographed these two since they were newborns and it’s exciting to watch their family grow. This session came together perfectly from the location colors to mom’s choice of outfits and the final collage pieces at bottom. Custom collages, storyboards and albums are a great way to display imagery, especially if you have more than one child and/or plan professional photography sessions at least once a year. After all, it’s nearly impossible to display everything on the wall and, by the second and third child, that dedicated wall space becomes an even bigger factor than it once was.
