My brother Chris and my sister in law Ashley are such a cool, laid back couple. When we learned that a little girl was on the way, my heart immediately grew to love this baby girl (with the secret name) so very much. We waited and waited, and Ashley was all belly!
Can’t have a baby belly without ice cream…



Finally the day arrived.. our beautiful Roxy Pearl. I went over to Chris & Ashley’s house to take Roxy’s newborn portraits, and their house was a little dark that day due to the weather. Their hall bath, however, has a cool glass block window and plenty of light! I took most of these portraits in there and am glad I did. Here’s Roxy with her daddy.

I had to wait to blog these images because they were holiday gifts
It was way too cold to do portraits outdoors, so we moved things around indoors and voilà, a perfect setting for Christmas card pictures. We’ll go outdoors for portraits when the springtime comes. The dynamics between young siblings are never dull! As long as these sisters weren’t touching, they were okay. Much like my own little girls on certain days. And we thought we wouldn’t see drama till the teenage years?

Another wonderful family that had late fall portraits taken for Christmas presents. Isn’t this family (and location) beautiful? I love their outfits – such a clean look against the scenery. Well done!

When the holidays fall during the cold months, and families that are normally scattered come together, we’re never sure how the weather will hold up for holiday portraits. As photographers we stay optimistic and enjoy shooting in all types of lighting and weather situations. It’s about adaptation and creativity.
For a recent family portrait session, we were fortunate enough to have not only beautiful weather, but grass that was still green and lush. This made for an unusual color combination outside, and the neutral outfits with colorful scarves made everything pop!

The Nelson has been the hands-down most popular place lately for portraits. Here in Kansas City we take great pride in our wonderful art museums, rich historical buildings, and urban-yet-cozy atmosphere.
It’s always fun to go in and look at the art peices at the museum, but have you ever truly explored the outside? I had a blast with M&B and their baby J. Thanks for a fun autumn evening!
Fun with bubbles:

Are you kidding me with the blue eyes! Total future heartbreaker.

Playing cars with mom & dad. Pure childhood joy… and fun for the grownups too! ![]()

Snuggle time as the sun says night-night. “Goodnight moon, goodnight air…”

“Goodnight noises everywhere”
