Santa Marta Retirement Community

May 4

I had a fun project last week – I had the opportunity to work with a great group of people at a retirement community in Overland Park called Santa Marta. What an amazing place!  Wonderful people and a beautiful place – I was ready to move in by the end of my shoot!  Here is one of two videos that we created together – the next one will be a little bit slower for the “mature” audience.  This is another great example of how good video can tell a story and create such a wonderful marketing tool to showcase a location or business!

Mr. Stinky Feet – Commercial Shoot

Apr 23

mr. stinky feet

It’s Cookie Time!  What fun! I am like a celebrity in my own house! My kids are beside themselves that I, boring old Mom, got to spend the morning this week with the one and only MR. STINKY FEET! Otherwise known as Jim Cosgrove. For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of hearing him in concert OR listening to his music, take a minute to check him out. He is WONDERFUL!  He is a brilliant songwriter and singer who entertains our young ones.  You may have heard his work on my last website.

So Jim needed some photos taken for his new album cover and publicity spots and I was the lucky one who got to do it!  I stepped out of my comfort zone of my own little studio and we did this work at Jim’s Father-in-Law’s home with his lighting set up. They turned out wonderfully, and are now in the hands of his Graphic Artist being turned into a very cool Cover for his next Album.  I can’t wait to see what she does with them and the final piece!  Pretty cool!

Baby Addison – Kansas City Newborn Photography

Apr 13

Sweet Addison!  This little lady was only 4 days old when I came to visit – such a sweet little thing!  Look at those cheeks!  She was a little attached to Mom and Dad, and preferred to be held so we took her lead and ended up with some beautiful portraits of new Addison. She is one of my baby planners, so you will get to see her grow in the next year – I can’t wait to come play next time Addison and see those dimples in action!

See you soon!

Michaela & Patrick – Short film

Mar 30

Wow.  This was one of those weddings that I kept noticing that I was smiling as I was editing – it happened over and over again!  Clearly it is one of the most beautiful weddings I have had the honor to record, but on top of that it is the way these two look at each other and the energy that they share that makes me smile. Such a loving family – and just Wow!  I will have to say, I had a hard time not just shooting straight up at the pedal drop during their first dance!  🙂 You two are lucky I got some shots of you dancing.  he he.

This short film is a few minutes long – make sure you let it load all the way before you play it.

Happy Birthday Jack – Kansas City Baby Photography

Mar 29

This is a special friend of mine – I photographed Jack when he was a tiny little guy and he comes by for all our fun little studio specials. I was so excited when his mom called for me to come by their home to do a full session for his one year portrait!  What a sweet guy – we had a great time playing toys and climbing and exploring.  I even got a nice long hug!  🙂  Those big brown eyes are going to melt some hearts – they did mine!

Thanks for letting me come play Jack!
