I had the opportunity to work with these little guys again this year (I love seeing clients over and over!!). We headed to the park in their neighborhood and lets just say I might have to visit this park again! I am def going to use it in Oct for a wedding I am shooting b/c their church is right down the street on Ward Parkway (can’t wait for this one!!). Anyway, we played and we watched bull dozers (thank goodness for the dozers b/c these two DID NOT want their pix taken). We were all kids once. We all were at the stage of not wanting our pix taken. I have two of my own and they don’t like their pictures taken either. So this is where I come in… I am the fun, the laughter (with moms help turning me into a bunny and any other animal we could think of to make them smile) and whatever you want me to be at your shoot! For those of you who know me you know how silly I can get. Well I had to pull out all my silliness this past weekend and it worked!! We managed to get some great images for mom and dad.

Thank you guys for another great session!! Enjoy some of my favs below and your slide show will be in your inbox soon.

Oh, I also want to thank all of you who send me kind notes, mail me thank you letters and send me gifts. You are all so sweet and to kind. It makes my heart happy that you love your images as much as I enjoy capturing them for you. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I have the best clients in KC!!

Its early on a weekday morning. I am driving to a session to meet a family for the first time (or at least this is what I think is going to happen). I drive into the park. Park my car and the family arrives. Mom and Dad brought Grandma and Grandpa along since they were in town for the holiday weekend. I am in shock! Grandpa was my grade school P.E. teacher!! Yes, it is a small world. A very small world.

Another photographer here in town was having a medical issue and asked me to help her out with this session since she couldn’t take their pictures, so I took the session off her plate. It was exciting b/c it brought back old memories of running around the gym playing dodge ball as a kid (funny that is a vivid memory for me.. dodge ball!!).

Anyway, we had a great session. His sons little girl was turning one and was on the move. Once again I ran all over the park with her, captured her as she is right now and even got some cake pictures! They brought along her cupcake and let her dive in and it was so cute.

Thank you guys for a wonderful session. Enjoy some of my favorite images from the session and it was nice to see you some of you again and meet the rest of you for the first time.

This duo and I had a great time down in the West Bottoms last week. I had to keep reminding myself they were only kiddos too:) and good kiddos at that. They met me at my house and I drove them downtown for an hour of fun. Thank you guys for a great session! “J” I am finally done editing! I read your comment on your sneak peek and the wait is over. Thank you again for a great time!

Enjoy your images and slide show HERE!

This little gal will make you smile so you have to watch the slide show at the end. She was a little uneasy when we first arrived at the park but once she warmed up she was ready for some picture taking. We walked the trail, hung out by the pond and lily pads and played at the park. She was sweet. That is the main word that comes to mind when I see her. She had a sweet personality and a sweet temper about her the entire time. I think she gets it from her mom. I knew her mom back in my college days (one of the sweetest people you will meet). She lived in the house next to me. I haven’t seen her since college but I have taken pictures for a few friends and so we were able to meet up again.

Another reason I love my job! I get to see old friends and reconnect. Thank you so much for spending the evening with me and letting me capture your little girl. It was nice to see you again and meet your husband. Enjoy your images and slide show HERE!
