Footloose and “Francie” free – baby photographer Kansas City
Francie Jude is no longer that swaddled newborn hanging on a clothesline.
But, at six months, she’s every bit as beautiful as the day we shot her newborn session. And with those bright eyes and great expressions, she’s even more charming.
…. and just like that, the VCU cinderella team took the sails right out from beneath every KU fan watching yesterday’s NCAA tournament game.
Oh wait. That’s a different story. One that I would love to turn back the clock on and create a different outcome. Not even bootcamp class in the falling snow late yesterday (yes, we’re that hardcore around here … LOL) could take my mind off the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach over that game.
This little story, however, has a much happier ending – thankfully, that toothy grin also brought joy to my broken Jayhawk heart. Something I believe his mom and I share today.
This story is the second installment of “Sam I Am” … you might remember him from his newborn session. And now he’s a happy, on-the-go, six-month-old with the sweetest little disposition. These are some of my favorites shot natural light in and around their home:
Just a few more days to take advantage of my Spring special on Facebook – check it out in the profile picture on my fanpage.

Eddie is one l Shawnee, KS child portrait photographer
It’s hard to believe it’s been more than two years since we captured his older brother at the same age, but it has. And wow, if ever there was a career that reminds you how quickly time passes and little ones become big ones, this is it. Now it’s younger brother Eddie’s turn to celebrate the end of the first year milestone and the beginning of full-on todder-hood. Just as we did with that session two years ago, we shot this one at their home. They have the most beautiful natural light streaming into their family room, and with all of the snow on the ground at the time, we knew this would be an indoor session. I shot most of these with my 35/1.4L lens, swapping out for my 24-70 here and there.
These are some of my favorites from their in-home session, especially the last one …

Spring Special:

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.
