What are you waiting for? Check it out!

Happy Day!

Happy Birthday, Genna!

She started out as a client. Then she became an intern. And then she became a friend. Today, she's like family.

Most of my client's know her. You've seen her on the blog before. She's often with me at shoots and over the last couple of years she's practically been my right hand. She is such a blessing to me and my business. Her dedication, enthusiasm and creativity are just a few of the many things that make her so amazing. 

I adore her. My family adores her. And I know all of my clients adore her, too. 

Happy 20th Birthday, Genna! 

Lots of love,

Sneak Peek for Kylie | Kansas City Senior Portraits

Busy season is in full effect so I'll keep it short and sweet. Here's a sneak peek of another stunning senior, Miss Kylie. 

Such a fun afternoon with Kylie. I can't wait to share more!

Sneak Peek | The Narciso Family

Not only is this family extraordinarily beautiful, they're extraordinarily sweet. More details from our super fun session to come, but for now, because Heidi has been so patiently waiting....a little sneak peek of her amazing family .

Meet Brock. Have you ever seen a kid with better hair? He's such a stylish little man.

And Naya. She's a sweet little princess with a heart melting smile. 

With parents this gorgeous, it's no wonder Brock and Naya are so adorable.

More to come very soon so stay tuned. And have a happy weekend!

Sneak Peek for Taylor | Kansas City Senior Portraits

There's so much I could say about Taylor but I know she's dying for her sneak peek so I'll save (most of) it for the final post. But let me just tell you that she's one of the most amazing girls I've ever photographed. She's a girl with a vision. She knows what she wants. She's got what it takes to make things happen and I simply adore her. 

And I was so excited when she came to me with the idea to shoot at the soccer field, but put her own spin on things. If ever a senior embodied my tag line of "be original. be true. be you." it would be Taylor.

Taylor is one of our 2012 Senior Spokesmodels. If you're a 2012 or even 2013 senior ask Taylor how you can save on your own senior portrait session.

I absolutely cannot wait to dive in to the rest of this session. There's sure to be a gigantic post to follow so stay tuned. 

Happy Monday,

Sneak Peek for Senior Spokesmodel Alexis

I met Alexis at the grand opening party at Stem and I immediately knew I wanted to photograph her. She's got such a beautiful smile and it's simply contagious. Shooting her senior portraits was beyond fun. Her mom and sister (who she's very close with) tagged along and we even snuck in a family session at the end. Here are a few sneak peeks from our fabulous day together!

And her sister Brittany was more than happy to jump in (literally) for a few photos herself! Hopefully I'll be shooting Brittany's senior portraits next year.

By the end of the day my cheeks actually hurt from smiling so much. And that's never a bad thing! Love both of these beautiful girls and their family. More to come soon!

Sneak Peek for Sam | Kansas City Senior Portraits

I just worked up a little sneak peek for Sam, our only male senior spokesmodel this year. Sam is a super cool guy. He's confident, talented and adventurous. And even better - he's super comfortable in front of the camera, which made my job so easy. 

Check out a few of my favorite shots. 

We're still booking seniors from the Class of 2012, but call soon as fall dates are booking up quickly. I've been shooting like crazy lately. More sneak peeks to come soon!

Happy Friday!
