summer birthdays

Are so much fun - who doesn't love having a golden tan for their pictures.

one good looking K-State Family

I LOVE the purple pride that this family portrays!

I'm one

and can't you feel his excitment! I had 5 one year olds sessions in Aug and Sept - all 5 were born in the same week yet none on the same day. All 5 were as cute as can be.

Weekend in KC

I spent last weekend in KC - friends, food, photos and plenty of fun! This is just one of the families that participated in the adventure. Thanks Warner!

third times a charm

And what a charm this little girl is and she is blessed with the most darling older brothers. Their mother and I could not stop laughing, it's always a treat when the kids ask me to take more pictures. "Over here Jen." "Look at me Jen." I LOVE my job!

who ever said pictures were hard work?

Class of 2010

is lucky to have this guy - a little quiet but he warmed up by the end of the session. Enjoy your sneak peek Lucas, I'll be in touch to schedule your sports session.

He's one...and on the run

Go Wildcats!

Good Luck today Wildcats - I know these cats will be there to cheer on the team.

Sleepy baby Henry

This is a sweet little pea. I also adore the pictures with his mom and dad but I'm running a titch behind and wanted to give the new parents SOMETHING to look at. Thanks again guys, it was nice meeting you!

Just for Fun

And how fun they are!

Go Indians

It's homecoming and a big game tonight for the Manhattan Indians. Head out to Bishop Stadium for some High School football and cheer on the undefeated Indians.

brothers

two brothers, too sweet, both very shy.

seriously sassy

and she's only two!

Just right...

A slight breeze, marvelous lighting, a beautiful young lady...intermixed for an amazing picture!

elements

Photo sessions are all about comfort. If a child is comfortable during the session, the pictures are guaranteed to exceed all expectations. This session was no different, big G walked through knee high weeds to access the water front and waded his way to and from. He was in his element and it really shows!

Fall is almost here...

and some of the leaves are starting to turn! I have inquires almost daily on when the leaves start to turn and I guess the answer is now...I just wonder if there will be any left in November. I hope so!

one sassy family

This sassy bunch updated the family photo for their mom's 60th birthday. Happy 60th!

beautiful baby

meet this little pixie. She's 3 1/2 weeks old and such a sleepy head.

have you ever wondered

What to put your daughter in for a photo shoot? What is something simple yet sweet, comfy yet dressy, an outfit they WANT to wear?

If so, let me tell you about something I love, or let's just be honest, an obsession I have...for Matilda Jane clothing. It's SO comfy, cute, different and original and they offer oodles of extraordinary pieces.

So if you thought, "wow, that is an adorable outfit" for this picture:

or this picture...

or this one...

Sizes run from girls 6 months (I only wish I knew about it when my girls were that age) to "tween" girls (size 12). There are also some phenomenal selections for women.
