They have been in Colorado for a while and just moved back to KC this spring. They each started their own dental practices in Lee Summit and Blue Springs (so let me know if you need a dentist b/c I know two!!). I have known Jo for years. I met her in college where she played softball and I ran track/cross country. I love meeting up with old friends and reminiscing about the good ol days. I also love seeing where we were and where we have come. Those days seem so far gone but in our minds so fresh. I wouldn’t trade them for anything b/c they molded us into what we are now and I love where we are now. Isn’t life good?!!!

It was so good to see you again! I am so proud of you and where you are, friend. I am glad I can capture your family in KC now! I will miss our CO shoots but closer is better (unless we move to CO someday… oh, I love that place!!). I can’t wait to get our kiddos together now too!! Thank you for a wonderful session and letting me enjoy little Lucy for an hour. If you notice we started off fully dressed and then partly dressed at the end (her choice not moms… she would just take off what mom put on… so cute and the images still turned out so great!).

They are friends of ours. We have done bible study together now for three years. You have seen her belly out here with her third and now it was time for a little family fun! I LOVE these type of sessions. We met at the park for a few family shots before we headed to the plaza for some coffee and chocolate!! They love to hang out at the coffee shop and the chocolate shop so mom wanted to capture them doing just that. We spent the evening chit chatting, drinking lattes, eating chocolate and capturing every moment of it. Their nanny even joined the group since she is practically part of the family! Enjoy our evening together.

If you would like a session like this please contact me for details! The best time is in the summer/early fall before we lose our evening light. They are best in the evening when the light is yummy! These sessions will be added to my pricing for 2010 (since I am booked for 2009) and more details will be available on my site at that time.

Enjoy a few of my favorites!! And their sneak peek slide show HERE!

I have photographed this family for years. They are another one of my favs (yes, I say that about all of my families b/c everyone is a favorite – I just like to say it b/c it makes me happy). We had a blast hanging out in their COOL outfits from VON MAUR. I will be making a trip to the new location off 135th street soon! Don’t you just love their hats? Well, you guys rocked your session AGAIN! Every year we say how can we beat last years session AND every year we DO! Thank you for another fantastic session. Enjoy a few of my favorites below and a few more HERE in your sneak peek slide show.
