I do almost all of my portrait sessions in the evenings, an hour or so before the sun is to set, to catch that golden light that always breaths life into portraits. I know that getting up early is never something that people like to do, but I am so glad that Maria agreed when I asked her to shoot in the morning light at Ted Ensley Gardens at Lake Shawnee. Because look. at. that. light.
Bella was shy with me in the beginning, but she quickly came around and gave me high fives after her shots. She looked so adorable in her lace and boots.
Chloe and her fiery red hair. I love it. I always think that things that set us apart from others are our greatest attributes, and at first glance, it's Chloe's hair. Then you hear how sweet and confident she is. It comes across her face.
I posted a while back a gallery of Aline, and now I am able to post Kloe's photos from my model call session!
Kloe is just the sweetest. Thankfully the evening that we shot these photos in Loose Park, it was nice. Not necessarily cool, but definitely not as hot as it could have been in late July.
Here is wishing a safe and easy delivery for her soon!
You have all seen Barbara on here before. I did her family session last fall for their Christmas photos, and I have done 2 more sessions since. This time, all 4 of her and her husband, Corey's girls would be in the same place at the same time, and she wanted to document it!
Kaytlynn, Hailey, Kenzie, and Courtney, of course, were a hoot.
I can't wait to do their family photos again this fall!

We finally moved Reagan to a toddler bed (actually just converted her crib but same thing). She seems so much older now, and she still looks so small in that bed. She has only asked me to sing to her twice since we switched, and that is heart-breaking but satisfying too. We used to sing every night. She would drag bedtime on and on with "one more song" and now she just hops into bed and wants tucked in.
If time could slow down, that would be great.
Selene is such a sweet baby. She was happy and so smiley the entire shoot, and she didn't mind getting dressed up for her momma one bit.
