Maternity Session | Shawnee Photographer

I think family maternity sessions are always extra special and sweet. This maternity session was perfectly timed for beautiful fall lighting and flowers…just what this momma wanted! Their sweet little girl is going to make the best older sister. I can tell she is going to love having a baby around for her to dote on, give kisses, and snuggle with. We spent the hour snuggling, flying like an airplane, riding on daddy’s shoulders, singing Let it Go and talking about Moana. I loved that we were able to capture the constant movement of her toddler years in such a fun and sweet way.

Family Photos at Shawnee Mission Park | The Ellsworth Family

I met this sweet family a few years ago when I took Ryan’s high school senior photos in downtown Kansas City. We had to reschedule this session a few different times and we were finally able to find a date where Ryan would be home from college. The date we rescheduled to turned out to me so much better as far as the weather goes. It cooled down quite a bit for the evening compared to the last few days we had been having. It was a treat to have the newest little member of their family, Milo, join us for a few photos.

Best Friend Photoshoot | Olathe Senior Photographer

"Jamming out to music and cracking jokes in the car is always a good time. Really any time with each other is a good time."

This is what the girls told me when I asked them what their favorite thing was to do together. To me this response shows what a great friendship they truly have. It doesn't matter where they are or what they are doing. As long as they are together they know they will have fun. So of course we spent the entire hour laughing together as we enjoyed the beautiful weather.

When these two Olathe North High School seniors told me the wanted to do a photoshoot together before they head off to college I was so happy. As a high school senior photographer capturing these special moments between seniors and their friends or family members is one of my favorite parts of a session. These are the photos they will look back on and fondly remember all the wonderful times they had together senior year.

"I think my earliest memory of Rachel was when she was cut my hair when we were little" -Ellie

These three have been friends since before they could even walk and have grown up spending close to every day together. As we talked about some of their favorite memories together I loved hearing all the many stories they had of each other.

My advice to these young ladies is to continue to be present in each others lives. As you get older that may be harder and harder to do, but an 18 year friendship is worth holding on to!
