Sorry Oliver - I know you will want equal time! That is a pretty cool truck!

oliver and charlotte

We had a great time playing outside on a beautiful summer morning didn't we Oliver! And Charlotte you are the sweetest little one! What an honor to get to take portraits of these young ones - thanks so much! What makes this so special is I created their Mom and Dad's wedding video several years ago. I love that kind of circle!!! They got a special deal as video clients, take a minute to check out the referral program on my website.

Thanks again Oliver and Charlotte!

New Studio

Ok, so the big news is I ACTUALLY HAVE A STUDIO! It has been a month now, I officially started using it at the beginning of May, but this May has been perhaps the most crazy month EVER! I have been so swamped, I couldn't even blog about the new space.

I am sharing a fabulous studio with a wonderful photographer, JJ Auldridge. She is great, we really clicked the moment we met - I think we will be great studio-mates! It is an amazing space in the Crossroads in KCMO - I am so very excited to be down there! When I was teaching Art, I spent more time down there gallery hopping, and I am so inspired to be back as an artist myself! There is an energy there that is like no other.

So, I will be meeting video clients there and proofing the portrait photography work that I have been doing. All of my editing and studio work will stay in my current location - mostly due to my children's schedules and the fact that I am just too spoiled to just walk up the stairs and work in my PJ's half the time!

So yay for JJ and all her hard work on this place and yay for me that I don't have to kick my poor kids and hubby out of the house every time I need to meet with a client! :-) Not to mention clean the "show room" of all our toys and stuff! I spotted one of my son's fake rubber bugs under a chair at my last consultation - I hope my couple didn't see it! Oops.

Ellen

Happy 2nd Birthday Ellen! We had such fun together - it was great to get to come over and play and hang out with you as a big two year old! You look so much like your cousin!!! I am having so much fun watching you grow up from a little baby - I am excited your Mom will get to be my very first to break in my new studio space!!! More on that later.

Thanks for letting me come play Ellen - see you soon!

Keegan & Sydney

What a sweet pair! It was so great to finally meet you Keegan - you are the sweetest baby boy - so snugly and rollypolly, you reminded me of my little guy. And Sydney - we sure had fun playing dress up and catching fishes and doing a great puzzle. Thanks for letting me come play with you guys! I had a blast.



Here are a few of my favorites - plus some fun stuff I put together to show you off!

Welcome Trestle

What a sweet baby! I had the honor to photograph little Trestle at one week old! He is a sweet sweet baby and his parents are so lucky! We had a great morning and he was a wonderful sport! It was great to see the Grandma's too! We will have to try again with his big furry sister (beautiful doggie) next time when he is a little bigger. Thanks for letting me come play Trestle! Congratulations!
