So beautiful baby Gabby and I had our first meeting when she was 5 days old and these are the sweet little images that she gave me.   Love. Love. Love.  With all my heart!

 Until next time…

Now, onto today’s FAV 4!

Another great wedding that I had the opportunity to second shoot with Laurel Austin of Living Moment Images.   It was a HOT one, but doesn’t the green grass and the sunshine looks so amazing right now?    I don’t know about you, but I am ready for it! 

This next picture is from a couple who did a Belly and Baby Session with me.  We had a blast shooting their maternity session at the River Market and I posted a fun picture from that a couple weeks ago in my Favorite Four.  Today, I picked a fun shot from their newborn photography session when Kallie was just 10 days old.  This shot was their idea because they both have very big feet and Kallie was born with feet that actually went off the page for the birth document! 

Kimmie is an amazing senior from St. Pius X High School and this is one of my favorite pictures of her.

Another amazing senior from Olathe Northwest, Lauren, had a shoot full of fall goodness – sunshine and vibrant leaves. 

Blessings to you until next time…..

I’m seriously happy every time I look at this picture.  Mainly because I just really loved working with Lauren and her mom and our shoot was so fun and completely, completely unique (check it out HERE).   It doesn’t hurt that she is drop dead gorgeous to boot!

 Okay, so I’m still seriously happy!!  Oh, how I love with all my heart this family and this picture of them.  We go way back to working together with the youth when Will and Chelsey were just friends and students at Mid-America Nazarene University.  I have so many special memories with them.  Since Will played baseball at MNU and Chelsey played softball there, it seemed only natural that Edmond wouldn’t put down that bat to save his life.  Look how he is looking at me??  I could gobble him up!

Sometimes, I can stumble upon the darndest spots in the middle of the city.   I had no idea how much I was going to love how Samantha was going to look against this fence door.  

My heart melts over this next picture taken on one of my Pictures of Hope complimentary NICU sessions.  This little boy was born at 24 weeks and was making great progress.  I may have to add another picture from this session this month because they are all favorites of mine. 

Blessings to you until next time…..

It was one of those perfect fall days, with perfect leaves, perfect sun and a perfect client!  Haley, her mom and I had a blast on her sessions and this senior could seriously work the camera. 

Not sure whether Pastor Ed Akers goes by grandpa, pappa or poppy, but he sure has the heart of this granddaughter!   Over the summer, I had a fun trip back to my home, Ohio, with my daughter Leah and while I was there got to shoot this entire ministry family from Grove City’s Victorious Living Christian Center.  I love the way they are smiling at each other….priceless.

Rosemary, one of Thrive’s Senior Spokesmodels, is one gorgeous girl who spends most of her life dancing.    It was hard to pick one of her pictures because they were all so amazing, but I had to feature my old school bike, which I dig but is hard to fit in my car.  

When I wanted to build my bridal portfolio, I instantly thought of  Liz.  Liz is a drop dead gorgeous bride that I go to church with and she was so happy to be my model this day and put her wedding dress back on and head out with me for some bridal portraits.  I choose this shot to feature because of her smile/laugh; it is so her and I can’t help but smile when I look at it.

Blessings to you until next time…..

All you have to do is look at Audrey’s eyes in this picture to see why I love it.  Mesmerizing!

I love just about every picture I take when I am shooting a complimentary Pictures of Hope NICU session.   This family was precious and shortly after my visit with them, they got to take their bundle of love home. 

I love this picture for many, many reasons.  First and foremost, this is my gorgeous niece Emily who flew here from Ohio for me to do her senior pictures.  It was such a special time for me.  Secondly, wow to wow on the beautifulness of Emily! 

Just one of those “speaks of itself” images of a pretty handsome Blue Valley West grad…..

Blessings to you until next time…..

My first Pictures of Hope session was with this Baby M’s twin brother (click here to see).  At the time, they were in separate hospitals and now with the first brother brother home, I came to take this brother’s pictures.  He may be going home in the coming week!  Twins M & M were born at 24 weeks and mom and sister have been living near the hospital because their home is in Juction City, with Dad driving in on the weekends.   I can’t imagine what a difficult time it is both physically and emotionally on a family, especially one so far from home.  These boys are miracles!   I only had literally 5 minutes to get some shots of baby M because of unexpected testing being done, but it was enough to get some wonderful shots of him with his loving momma.

I got another wonderful opportunity to meet a precious new family and do a complimentary photography session of their sweet little girl who has spent the last 14 weeks in the NICU.  Baby M was born at 23 weeks and is doing great.  They hope to spend her first Christmas at home celebrating.  What a blessing to meet these two new parents and watch the interaction they had with their baby girl and her responses to them.
