    Meet Carson! He was another of my Simple session babes.  We offer two packages for newborns, our Signature Session and our Simple Session.

    Our Signature session includes all of our signature poses like froggy, womb pose, and bottoms up.  These poses are more involved and take more time and patience.  We also include posed props or prop shots out of swaddles.  So you will see bottoms up on beds and buckets with chin on hands, for example.  Prop shots with in-depth detail and posing. The signature also includes sibling/family/parent shots and final edits delivered via digital download and USB. This session is a perfect fit for someone who has older siblings and wants all of the poses our studio is known for.

    A Simple session is more natural and relaxed posing.  We still include all the wraps, cute hats, tiny outfits, and stuffed animals.  Prop shots are all wrapped and only parent shots are included in the Simple.  This session is great if you don’t need a huge gallery, if you aren’t interested in all of the table poses, don’t mind if the baby remains wrapped or dressed and if you don’t have older siblings to include.

    No matter which package you choose we put the same amount of patience and attention to detail in every session.  I am a stickler for the details and go to great lengths to make each shot as perfect as possible.  Every baby is important to me because I know how important this session is to you.  It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture them at this stage.  This time is so fleeting and I don’t take that lightly.

    I approach each session with professionalism and strive for consistency in all aspects of my work.  I would love to work with your baby too.

    Vera was another recent superstar baby in the studio.  She was one of the strings of good sleepyheads I had before heading out on vacation.  We flew through our table poses and prop shots in record time.  I think we wrapped that portion up in a little over an hour.  Now, this was a Simple session, so we didn’t do any of our more complicated poses, like froggy or womb pose.  However, we got a great variety of shots and her gallery was huge for a Simple. I have to be honest and say that I am a chronic over shooter.  Even if I have plenty of shots, if your baby is sleepy I can hardly make myself stop.  I will just keep shooting and shooting.  Great for my clients but when I get to the editing that’s when it gets me, lol!

    She did wake up right before family portraits.  I think she may have had a little bout of gas because she was wide awake for quite a stretch and super wiggly.  She wasn’t really fussy so we kept right on going.  It just took a lot of patience to wait for her eyes to meet the lens and for her to settle and not move her hands and heads.  She finally fell into that dreamy in-between sweet spot.  It’s that special place where you are almost certain to get some smiles, and she absolutely delivered.

    What is better than a smiling newborn? Nothing, that is the answer, nothing.

    Introducing one of my sweetest little clients, Hudson.  She was a total sleepyhead and I was easily able to get through my entire posed workflow as well as a few extra special request prop shots that momma really wanted.

    Hudson’s daddy was not able to attend due to obligations with his work with the military, however, we were still able to create a father-daughter shot below that I really loved.  Her momma brought in his jacket and said to be creative, incorporate it however I liked.  In the past, I had swaddled babies and laid them on military gear, and shot from above.  But on those occasions, their daddy was at the session and was able to be photographed with them.  This time was a little different.  I wanted to be sure I captured something special for him and for Hudson.

    I clipped the jacket to a little chair to enable me to wrap the arms around the bucket that held Hudson.  I think it gives a real sense of being in her father’s arms while honoring his service at the same time.  I was really pleased with the final result and was happy to create a special image for this lovely family.

    I am always happy to incorporate special and sentimental items into a family’s session.  Please don’t hesitate to ask me, I will always do my best to create a beautiful keepsake for your family.

    I was so happy when Amanda contacted me to book a session for her third baby girl.  I hadn’t seen this family since our last outdoor family session about three or four years ago.  So needless to say I was looking forward to seeing how much the girls have changed.  They have both grown up so much.  They were so polite and sweet and perfect listeners.  Plus they were very patient during family and sibling shots which I loved.  I most often shoot sibling shots with at least one sibling who is closer to two years old.  And although my post and social media shares would lead you to believe that it is an easy peasy thing to do, it is in fact, one of the hardest parts of the job.

    As any parent of a toddler knows they are not always the very best at listening and often are very independent.  Plus, not being the baby in the family anymore has got to be a huge culture shock.  So all that combined sometimes leads to a lot of coaxing and patience from me and the parents.  If we are lucky and play our cards right we can get at least one great shot.  It takes some skill and knowledge to get it done.  I have been working with babies and toddlers for 12 years, I have it as close to a science as possible.

    However, when you get the opportunity to work with older siblings like Aubrey and Kaley, it is such a treat.  They are willing to do whatever you need them to do so their momma has the perfect family photo.  Thanks to these girls we started off our session with ease and to be honest, Hallie was just as easy to work with too.

    While I might not get to photograph any more newborns for this family I hope I get the opportunity to see them all again in the future.  I absolutely love these people.

    Infant Portraits Kansas City | August

    I had the opportunity to photograph handsome August.  He was a perfect little sleeper and so easy to work with.  I was excited to see his family again, I hadn’t seen them since big sister, Minnie was a baby.  We had worked together when I was still in my home studio, a small room off the entryway of my house.  I photographed hundreds of babies there, you would never have known it was so…let’s just say cozy.  This time when they visited me with their new son we shot in my Blue Springs studio.

    I would still call our space cozy, but so much more functional.  We have multiple shooting areas, a prop room, and a  parent room.  The parent room is probably the greatest addition for my newborn clients.  It is much more relaxing with room to stretch out, watch Netflix, catch up on work, have some snacks, or take a little nap.  All just a few feet away from the shooting area so you can easily pop in and take a peek at your little one at any time.  It is the perfect mix of accessibility and relaxation for those new parents who could use a minute to rest.

    I am so happy that I took the leap five years ago to invest in my business and myself.  This space has made all the difference for me and for our client experience.

    I hope to capture so many more newborn sessions in our studio as our client family continues to grow in the coming years.
