Oh my heart. And these sweet voices! What a gift to be invited to welcome this sweet soul to this beautiful family. Even better, is having the experience of knowing this family from the VERY START! I filmed Mike and Crystal’s wedding years ago, then sweet Savannah’s first year, as well as John! To say I was THRILLED when Crystal contacted me to make a little film of welcoming Luke to his new family is an understatement. What I wouldn’t give to have something like this of my babies when they were little. With me in it!! There is just something about the movement, and the voices of both the little ones and Mom and Dad that is just priceless. Even the bit of chaos and busyness of the kids is beautiful. This family also got about 15 images from this short little shoot. Thank you Mike and Crystal for having me back!!!!
Family Films are BACK! Baby Luke and Mom and Dad! Super8 Film
Oh boy – there is nothing like the sounds of baby babble. I really truly cherish this sound. I didn’t make enough videos of my own kids when they were little. At least I didn’t make “good” ones. I did the normal shaky handheld camcorder recordings and they are still amazing and precious, but I wish I had something like this with my husband and I actually interacting with our kids when they were tiny AND growing up. Take a minute to join Luke and his family for a few sweet moments this spring at The Nelson-Atkins. Sweet and simple moments like these are so fleeting. Everyone always told me that when the kids were little. I never believed them because the days felt so long. But they were right. It goes way too fast.

Baby G – Newborn Family Portraits – Kansas City
I have a special family here to share. It is always amazing to get to do newborn portraits for my former bridal clients, but even more special when they are family. And even MORE special when I remember seeing the daddy of the baby when he was brand new. Feeling a little “mature” here, but more than that, just really happy for my cousin and his wife. Congratulations on your new little man – he is perfect!
Baby Alex and Big Brother Issac – Kansas City Newborn and Family Portraits
It is that time of year when I get to see so many families that I have known from the very beginning! I love love love to get to photograph my former bride’s and groom’s growing families. So many of them have become such dear friends and it is just a joy to get to see them at such special moments of their lives. Big bro Issac was so happy to introduce me to his new baby Alex – well, it wasn’t really a formal introduction, but he was super sweet and let me get a shot of him snuggling his little bro. That was all it took to make me happy! Congratulations sweet family and I can’t wait to watch sweet Alex grow up too!
