Sweet baby for the holidays – Newborn photographer, Kansas City, MO
I can’t think of a sweeter gift for the holidays than this little guy. I’m betting mom, dad and big sister agree!
On a side note, I may be short on words over the next week in theses blog posts, but there are so many great sessions to showcase all the way back to summer, that I have to streamline things a bit if I’m ever going to get caught up. So if you haven’t yet seen your session blogged or Facebooked, don’t fret – It’s coming soon!

Well hello, gorgeous (Newborn Photographer, Overland Park, KS)
The most beautiful lips on a newborn girl I think I’ve ever seen. And that perfect little round head and big brown eyes.
This was a studio newborn session – an “older newborn” session as she was right about 6 weeks when we shot these, and I’m loving that we got so many serene “awake” shots. As luck would have it, she also blessed us with a few sleepy smiles too. I’m always so curious about what goes on in those newborn daydreams.
Now that most of the holiday cards and orders have been delivered or are off to the lab, I can get back to the business of blogging. So many wonderful sessions to share … babies, families, siblings, high school seniors and commercial work. And I have an entire new blogsite (that’s a blog plus a website rolled into one) that will launch soon too.
In the meantime, enjoy sweet Catherine and some of my favorites from her custom photography session.

Just one wish l Lenexa, KS, child photographer
Not Kinect for Xbox. Not an American Girl. Not the new sneakers or the snowboard. Not the diamond necklace or the $800 hand-crafted leather boots. Not even the iPad.
In the season of excess and “stuff” … of stress over crowded mall parking lots, long lines and midnight door busters, their wish simply rings the most true, the most urgent, the most worthy.
Just one more prayer. Just one foot in front of the other. Just get through the chemo. Just keep producing good cells. Just win the battle. Just beat the tumor.
All to just watch her grow. Just love her. Just one more day. Just one more year. Just one more lifetime.
Just one wish. (Read to bottom and see how you can help).
To be able to grow up healthy and happy: It doesn’t seem like too much to ask. Avery is one of the littlest soldiers battling pediatric cancer. Nearly one year ago, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and so began their journey through the maze of treatments, specialists, hospitals and the unknown of this disease. Her next round of chemo begins the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve and her family will ring in the New Year at Children’s Mercy Hospital. I can’t begin to describe the unimaginable strength Jenn and Jeremy have shown. But, as Jenn admits, they have an army of “Team Avery” supporters to thank as they simply cannot do it alone.
So in this season of excess, I make this plea to anyone reading this blog post: Make Avery’s recovery a part of your daily prayers, then visit Avery’s blog and join Team Avery by making a donation (see the little Donate button in the middle of the top of the home page). Health insurance is a wonderful thing to have, but it doesn’t come close to covering all of the financial hardships presented when one or both parents is required to be away from their jobs for surgeries, chemo, hospital visits and general care as Avery continues her battle, as well as the copays, overages and other costs associated with cancer. $25, $50 … any amount will make a difference and is appreciated more than words can express.

Emma and family l fall family photographer-Kansas City, MO
Speaking of watching Baby’s First Year clients grow … say hello to big girl Emma featured in her last session of the first year. She’s clearly inherited mom’s fabulous sense of style and we had a blast following this busy little bee around in the fall colors. She still holds the record for the most soundly sleeping newborn girl I’ve ever photographed for a full Signature Newborn Session. And let’s not forget that signature head of hair. Thank you, Jeremy, Christine and Emma for a wonderful first year of memories!

Sebastien l newborn photographer-Kansas City, MO
I love watching them grow – from the maternity session to six months, then walking and then often becoming older siblings to a new brother or sister. This is one of those very sessions. Nothing is more complimentary and humbling than being asked back time and again to capture these milestones for a family. And for that, I am incredibly thankful!
Since finishing my studio last year, I shoot nearly all of my newborns there which affords us easy access to my stash of vintage props, wraps, backdrops and other goodies. That said, when I first began my business, I shot newborns exclusively in the client’s home using available, natural light. While I love the predictability of the light in my studio and the variety of boutique styling in the images, I have to say I also love the more casual, photojournalistic feel of incorporating ambient lighting and elements of a client’s home and/or baby’s nursery. As a photographer, I think it’s important to be able to walk into any environment and manipulate light (whatever the source) to create images that convey a particular feeling and/or tell a story. So don’t be surprised if you may see me doing more of both types of newborn sessions in 2011.
For now, meet Sebastien. Sweetest little (night)owl. And forever, Esmee’s little brother.

Maclin l Kansas City newborn photographer
I love his name – and what a sweet boy he was to photograph. This is the season where I’m short on words due to the insane time crunch, so I’ll let the images do the talking. Suffice it to say, Maclin is welcome in front of this lens any time. Can’t wait to watch him grow!
And that beautiful vintage green carriage was a thrift store find for $40. (Yes, I squealed too when I saw it.)
