A couple more....

Totally Rad.

Yesterday I got to have a super fun experience. 2 local photographers whose work I have admired for years now (ok maybe 1 1/2 years) hosted a Shoot Day down at the City Market. It was awesome. Kelley and Josh were so cool, made everyone feel comfortable and I met a lot of very cool people..some that live a hop, skip and a jump right from my house!

The great thing about doing something like this is that it is so different! It made me realize how important it is to shoot for myself on occassion. While I always love shooting, this time there was no worries of getting the right shot, pleasing someone else..or getting the safe shots. I just did whatever i wanted! I will have to do this more often!!

So, the 2 very great models were decked out in complete 80's getup which was really fun...here are the first few I've done. More soon!!











I've looked at some of the others photos (there were 16 of us, plus Kelley and Josh) and what amazes me is NO ONE has the same looking shot. It's really fun to see what everyone else's vision and even their post processing looks like!

More......

I've got SOOOO many of this cutie I thought I'd share a few more. It's amazing how many actually turned out because babies are so jerky with their movements something is usually out of focus. (Ummmm, this wont be so much of an issue when i get better equipment...do you hear me universe??)

With that being said, there are a million things I'd change about this image compositionally....but I'm so glad we got it! Mom and I decided kind of on a whim at the last minute to get one of both the babies!! I was pleasantly surprised to find this one of them both looking!!





It's things like these headband bows that just make my heart ache for a baby girl!! But then i consider that the headband bows will turn into expensive makeup, clothes, shoes, jewelry, boyfriends...then I get over it!!! :) Sorry Jess!!! ;)



On the flip side....my children are currently running around the house screaming and torturing each other. The vulgar boy things that my boys say will surely never come out of that sweet baby girls mouth! They are all wound up because tonight we go to the Great Wolfe Lodge!!! I'm so thrilled about putting on a swimsuit I can hardly stand it!!!!! Hopefully on a Tuesday night in February the place will be dead!!

The Sweetest Girl....... Baby Portraits Overland Park, Kansas

This isn't the first time you've seen this cutie! We saw her in utero,


and at a few weeks old!



Her cuteness just doesn't quit! She has this wonderful wise little lady face. She took me very seriously...she didn't crack...until right at the end!



But it doesn't matter...when you get shots like these!!



Thanks again Jess, I'll put up some more peeks as i get more done!!

My Youngest Babies need haircuts... Spring Hill Kansas Portraits

Yesterday was a great day for the boys.. (another blog post about it later!) Peanut had gymnastics and it was so nice out that I decided to let the little boys play in the backyard of the gym. They had so much fun, and I decided to get some photos of them since it had been so long since I'd tried to get anything but a snapshot. The only problem...they are super shaggy!! They are all getting haircuts this weekend!

EDITED TO ADD ON FEB 2011- If you came upon this page by searching "Spring Hill Photographer" Please click on our banner up above for our most recent work! Google web crawler has unfortunately held onto this link as their "cached" link! :) We would love to hear from you if you need a photographer!!






Mike's car has broken down, we're pretty sure it's the transmission. So, unfortunately we've been having to drive him to work. (this morning we were up and gone at 5:30 AM!!!!) But, right down the street from his work is a Krispy Kreme. Obviously we rarely go up that way, so we had to go get some of their new mini donuts. They are really good. They taste exactly the same of course but they are tiny. It's tricky though because you think, "They are small, so I'll just one or 2." But, really you eat like.....7. I'm not sure if you can just buy one or 2, the menu only offers 20! Anyway, the boys loved them of course! They even got the cute little Krispy Kreme hats.




Speaking of good snacks, we've discovered a few we are loving. We'll they aren't necessarily new discoveries. I'll just share them...

Of course everybody makes/or has had the typical ro*tel/Velveeta dip. It's gotten pretty standard and boring. HOWEVER, using this new Mexican variety is so good. It's not real different, just different enough to be better. You can really taste the lime and cilantro. It's not spicier or anything, just more flavorful!



Sabra Hummus....Oh my gosh. It's SOOOOOO good. Butter, Poo, and I LOVE it. It's good with pita bread, pita chips, tortilla chips. It's just GOOD! The 2 below are our favorites, Roasted Red Pepper and Pine Nut. They have some new spicy one that's really good too. If you think you don't like Hummus, try this. It's amazing. Oh, and I suggest trying to find this at a "super" store like Walmart or Super Target because at grocery stores it can get pretty pricey!!
