Love on The Plaza

Posted on April 1, 2014June 12, 2021 by Heather

I love The Plaza in Kansas City. It’s always full of life. When Amelia suggested it as the place to take their engagement photographs I was more then happy to take them there. However, I quickly found out that The Plaza was much more then a fun destination location for this couple. They meet at Seasons 52 for their first date that ended up lasting for hours walking around The Plaza. They spent most of their date night falling in love at The Plaza as it was the perfect mid way point for them to meet. It was en lighting to walk around with them and they would share why different spot where so special to them. The Plaza became much more then a pretty backdrop for this engagement session but more a capturing of many memories of them falling in love. It was my honor to capture those moments.

Just 5 minutes

I wish everyone in my life could just spend 5 minutes with this incredible family. Here is what I know that 5 minutes would do for you; it would uplift you, inspire you and simply make you smile. Yes, this family is that powerful. You will see people that love each other, serve each other, and strive to honor God in their actions. The weather the day of the session was less then ideal as it decide it was fall instead of summer that day. However, I never heard a single complaint from any of them. I am telling you simply remarkable family, just remarkable! Once we completed the family session we focused on the tiniest of the family as she just turn one year old. She is a delight! She is full of giggles and one of the best smiles that make her eyes disappear. She is also very loved.

A Lot to Accomplish in One Day (Part 2 – Newborn Session)

Meet Miss Adalyn. Isn’t she just beautiful? Everything about this baby girl is adorable! She was such a little model for our session. We got to try this bow and that on her, and this prop and that. It was great! I, of course, loved when she woke up so I could cuddle and love her back to sleep. There is something special about this little girl. I saw it in her when I first laid eyes on her. God has amazing plans for her life and I am so glad I get to watch to see what He has in store. Until then just enjoy this precious one.

A Lot to Accomplish in One Day (Part 1)

Posted on May 24, 2013June 12, 2021 by Heather

This family probably looks familiar to you. I get the very distinct pleasure of being their photographer (even though their mommy is becoming a very good photographer herself). What do you do when you need to photograph 3 year old session, a 5 year old session, family session and a newborn session. Why just make a day of it. I love spending time with this family so it sounded like an awesome plan to me! Since we did SO much in one day I decided to break up the sneak peek into two parts. So you are getting the sweet older girls and family today. Look for some really adorable newborn photographs of their very sweet sister tomorrow. Enjoy!

Safe and Sound

Some babies I get really anxious to get my hands on and love on. Caden was one of those babies. I have been excited for his arrival just about from the day I heard he was growing in his mama’s tummy. I was anticipating the chance to see Haley, his big sister interact with him. I was looking forward to seeing his mama hold him in her arms and seeing the peace on her face knowing he truly was here safe and sound. He was worth the anticipation and excitement. He is simply precious and a sweet gift, one that I got the honor of capturing.

Perfect Mix

Ava in my opinion is a perfect mix of her mom and dad. I love getting to hang out with her and see glimpses of both of them. A certain phrase, look, or smile just reminds me of one or the other. Don’t get me wrong there is plenty that is all Ava. She turned six this year. I have been photographing her since she was a baby. It’s hard to believe she is already that old. She is at a really fun age though. She was full of ideas of where we should and what she should do. She was full of giggles, smiles and the perfect serious look. This amazing mix of her parents is turning into a pretty incredible girl blessed I get to capture her each year.

Sweet Family

Jeanella heard about me through a mutual friend. It happens to be a mutual friend we both adore. This made for a fast and easy connection. Through out our session I got to hear some of this family’s inspiring story. I also was able to photograph two adorable girls. I was a little nervous about a 8 month old, as you never know how they will do. Miss Savannah was a rock star. She smiled on cue almost every time. She also decided to discover her tongue just in time for our session. Valerie also did awesome. I love this age they are full of life and loves and are willing to share with me what those are. One of her very evident love was for her baby sister. She adores her and the way Savannah lights ups when Valerie appears makes it known the feelings are mutual. As I walked about from our session I kept thinking what a sweet, sweet family and how blessed I was to be able to capture their family that day.

A Precious Family

Posted on November 9, 2012June 12, 2021 by Heather

The last time I photographed this family was 2.5 years ago. As any family the boys have grown, but these boys have grown more then just in stature. The last time we did a session they were new to America, new to a family, and new to unconditional love. They are now so full of joy, life, and love. They are super sweet, extremely polite and just fun to be around. They also will revile for some of the most handsome boys I get to photograph. This family is just precious! I love watching adoption unfold. I love watching a family become a family and knowing the hard work that went into getting to this point. I love even more being able to capture them in photographs.

A Great Excuse

Posted on October 31, 2012June 12, 2021 by Heather

A photography session is often a good excuse to travel to Kansas City and see a friend. This was one of those sessions. Kristin and I have become friends over the last few years. When I lived in KC we occasionally enjoyed playdates and kid free lunches. I had not seen her in several months since I had moved. So when she called to set up a session I was excited at a chance to photograph her beautiful family and a chance to catch up a little.

So much fun

I had so much fun doing Kailey’s senior portraits. She is so easy going. I particular liked she got my communication. I could say a simple word like “whimsical” and she would go in a perfect pose. I have also failed to mention that she has such a striking beauty, not only on the outside but evident on the inside as well. She braved some chilly weather to get some amazing photographs that I hope encapsulates all that Kailey is. It was definitely a fun session to be apart of!
