With so many sessions yet to be blogged, I thought it was time to round out the string of babies with something different. I shoot lots of different session types, including families and commercial work. And while I don’t market solely to high school seniors, I love shooting them! It’s a great balance between the unpredictable nature of my littlest subjects and the relaxed, more fashion-inspired sessions for seniors.
I met Katie through her older sister, a child photography client, and my brain was instantly in overdrive as we talked outfits, locations and her own personal sense of style. Then came the discovery of the vintage blue prom dress while I was out shopping one day. It had Katie written all over it and that blue is my new favorite obsession. She didn’t even have to alter it!
She’s an amazing young woman on her way to so many great opportunities – as beautiful inside as she is out. And she has a gaggle (yes, I just said “gaggle”) of older siblings watching out for her. To quote big sis, “My little sister is a hottie!”
Why yes, yes she is.
Meet Katie, Class of 2012.

Classic baby
I love a vintage prop and color pop as much as the next girl, but I also believe that, no matter the pose or the accessories, the focus of a newborn session should always be the nuances of that tiny little person.
The “smallness.”
The “curlyness.”
The “furryness.”
The “I just want to bottle that newborn baby smell and smother you with kisses …. ness.” 
(G’head, nose on up to your screen. I won’t tell.)
Here are some of my favorites of Quinn and his beautiful mama “before” and “after.”

And I said to myself “what a wonderful world”
As it turns out, cheeky grins and belly laughs really are contagious.

What a handsome, smiley little man he has become! Six months is one of my all-time favorite ages to photograph and Maclin was no exception. LOVE his football jersey with a vintage processing style just in time for KU football season. A future Jayhawk in the making and a little man after my own heart (sigh).
