Families + Kids

Roberts Family | Spring Family Session

I always ask my families to show up ready to be flexible and have a good time! Let me tell you…this family…understood the assignment. Their lighthearted and carefree attitudes provided for an incredible evening together. When Autumn first reached out to me she mentioned they hadn’t had any family photos taken in over 5 years. I never would have guessed because these kids showed up ready to show me their skills at being in front of the camera! We’re on the verge of spring but not quite there yet so it’s been hard to find great locations that don’t look brown and bare. This hidden gem provided the perfect backdrop to their session. I think the rocks and the evening light added some fun colors and depth to their family photos. But as you can see it doesn’t matter what location we were in…this family is clearly the star.

“Michelle was amazing! My two children just loved her! The pictures she took of my family turned out fantastic.”

Williams Family Photo Session | Family Photographer in Olathe, Kansas

Due to rain their initial session had to be rescheduled. Luckily the fall colors stuck around for their rescheduled date! Savannah told me to expect a sassy little girl and silly family and they did not disappoint! I enjoyed some beautiful Disney tunes and the Mickey Mouse clubhouse theme song from dad during our session. It was amazing.

Michelle was beyond perfect. She was so patient with our shy 11 month old and captured our family well! If you’re in need of a kind and professional photographer, don’t hesitate to book Michelle.

Thank you oh so much for the forever memories. We can’t wait to book you again in the future!

G. Family Mini Session | Scott City, Kansas

We packed up our two boys and drove an hour and a half just in time for me to quickly scout out Scott Lake State Park for this mini session. After 10 minutes in this park I decided I would GLADLY drive the 5.5 hours anytime to do more photoshoots here. I am highly considering making a trip every fall to do just that. It was absolutely gorgeous. This sunset session brought out all the textures and colors of fall that would make any photographer drool!

As soon as this little girl’s parents asked her to show me her dinosaur roar she came out of her shy shell and was ready to party. Rawr.

Ball Family Session | Olathe Family Photographer

This sweet family showed up ready to rock their family photos! Their sweet little girl was not too sure at first but her big brother knows how to get a smile. Not only does he know how to make her smile but he asked multiple times during the session if he could hold her…I mean how adorable is that!

One of my favorite moments during their session was when we did the mother-son photos. I have no idea what she was saying to them but they thought it was hilarious! Way to go mom! I hope I know how to make my boys laugh like that when they are that age.

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.
