Last weekend's fall minis were amazing! I know we're all feeling the effects of this rotten economy. Should I open up another round of minis?

Type "Mini Me" in the comments if you are interested!
Guaranteed favorites ready in time for your holiday cards!

Throwing it back to this beautiful moment.
Lots of fantastic fall photos coming your way. It's not too late to get on my calendar with a guarantee that you'll have your favorite family photo ready in time for holiday cards!

Because I'm such a big fan of candid moments, you'll rarely see posed photos as teasers. But, every once in awhile, I love it too much to keep it to myself.
I'll be surprised if anyone who hasn't been on the other side of my camera with kids can answer this, but who can guess what I'm doing to get the smiles out of this family in that second photo?

Hint: It's in the angle.

Cattails has the most gorgeous kitties up for adoption over at the Manhattan Petco! Make sure to stop by between 12-2pm today to meet these bundles of fluff and love!

The weather looks to be beautiful this weekend! Because it will be chilly in the mornings, I've moved everyone to the evening slots and opened up Sunday evening, as well. 🍂
I'm waiting until the last minute to pick the perfect location for the most beautiful colors, but don't wait to get on my calendar. The remaining slots will go very quickly!

Congratulations to the Millard Family who won the two free tickets to the KC Renaissance Festival! Thank you to Brian at for donating the tickets!

I'm working on a fun blog post with helpful information if you plan to go to the festival along with plenty of photography tips, and of course, loads of awesome pictures from last weekend. Check back soon!

I'm starting to think we just aren't going to get the prettiest foliage this year.
But, that's okay!
We can embrace the greenery, I can edit your photos to feature Autumn colors (like in my recent post), or we can change things up and include more urban backdrops.

These photos of one of my most favorite families were taken on campus on Friday, but we can also go to Aggieville or Poyntz for a totally different take on your family portraits.

As we get closer to the holidays, it's also fun to take indoor photos with your seasonal decor. We have lots of great options!

Reach out and we'll pick the perfect spot for your happy bunch!
And don't forget that my exclusive mini sessions will be on October 17th. 📸
