Kansas City Wedding Video - Kansas City Child and Family Portrait Photography

My family at the Farm!

I was going to post more of my own stuff this summer and I haven’t done as good of a job as I had hoped I would.  Somehow, it just seems too indulgent, I always feel like if I am at the computer working it should be on my client work, not my own.  But, a recent trip to my husband’s family farm resulted in some great images and my adorable family is just too great not to share! It is a beautiful place, and these images of our children enjoying it so deeply makes my heart happy.  I hope you enjoy it too!

POSH: Filmmaker Feature

I am a little late in blogging this post – it has been a busy couple months to say the least! With all the weddings and portrait sessions as well as keeping up with my kids and dogs, I am running a little ragged!  Luckily, the month of July I have a little break from weddings to catch up on my edits! LOTS of portrait sessions tho, so that is good!  Remember if you have a little one you want to get in for a session, I am scheduled several weeks out, so don’t wait to call or email.

Back to my post: I was so very honored a couple weeks ago to be asked by the ladies of POSH: A Retreat for Women Filmmakers, to be a guest blogger! HERE is the article! I wrote about how I came into this business and how the addition of a studio space has helped my business grow. As many of you know, I have never really thought of myself as a businesswoman, I am an artist and came to this media from teaching. I have felt my way to establish a wonderful and quite successful business and am so proud of what I have accomplished with the support of my family and wonderful husband Sam. So here is to all the businesswomen out there that are “feeling their way” – keep it up ladies!  We can do anything we set our minds to!

AND, only a few days left to sign up for POSH for you Women Filmmakers – there will be LOTS of movers and shakers hanging out on the boat! Don’t worry, I will bring the 100 SPF and floppy hat.

MY family video

I don’t post my family stuff very often, but I got myself a neat little toy for Christmas and have finally put together a little video with it!  I am kind of excited.  I guess with all my beautiful HD cameras and footage, going back to low-tech becomes novel.  Two of these videos were shot on a little plastic digital camera called a Harinezumi. It mimics the look of super 8 which I LOVE! The other little clip is from our trip to Colorado last summer. Now, I just have 7 more years of old family video to edit!  This is what I do now when we go on car trips – edit family video!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! It has been some time from my last post, mostly because after a marathon editing rampage before Christmas, I ended up with a pinched nerve in my neck and took some time off to heal and be with my family over Christmas.  This time was extended a little bit due to several snow days this week, but things should fall back to normal next week.  We had a great show today at The KC Star’s Bridal Spectacular and met LOTS of wonderful brides and their families.  Thank you to everyone who stopped by.  My 2010 is really filling up, so if you are interested in securing Creative Video for your wedding film, give me a call or email soon.  There are not many dates left.

I’ve got lots of postings to share with you – a new year’s baby, a wedding, and a great big family shoot – but for now, here are my little ones celebrating the beginning of 2010!  Well, mabye not the beginning  – more like 9pm, but we still celebrated!
