Cue the cuteness! It feels like yesterday that I was shooting little miss Mae's newborn photos.  This gorgeous family have been clients of mine since... well the beginning!  Nothing makes me happier when I get to share a history with my photography families.  I was blessed to be a part of another moment in their life as we hiked through Burr Oak Woods in Blue Springs. This gorgeous conservation area is filled with trails, woods, fields and a pretty cool education center. We spent a wonderful hour together and took many amazing shots. Enjoy!

Welcome to the world baby Harold! Kara and Samuel welcomed a new addition to their family in late spring. This little guy is only a month old, but as you can see he's a very serious and adorable little guy! His big brother Edmund is not ready to give up the limelight, he really gave us a run for our money... as toddlers always do! We managed to squeeze a few smiles out of him – and it’s worth every silly dance I performed.  They are both such smart and sweet little boys.
For this session we ended up taking advantage of the weather clearing up after a raining morning and had some fun in a beautiful green space down the street in their neighborhood. Enjoy the photos and these two cuties. :)

I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon too often, but milk bath sessions really caught my eye! It's a beautiful and alternative way to capture a toddler during these soft, sweet first years. Little Adler was my very first milk bath session and I couldn't be more pleased! This was an intimate backyard session on a beautiful Spring day. We took a little stop down the road and made a quick outfit change (is it really a change if they're in their birthday suit in the first part of the session?) for a little Mommy and Me session time. A truly beautiful session! Enjoy.
