First Birthday Portraits [Kansas City Baby Photographer}

 What fun to photograph this baby girl for her first birthday. She's such a pretty little thing and her parents are so in love with her! It was a warm winter day so we even went outside for a little while.

At Center Stage Photography, we love to photograph babies, and have special pricing and collections designed with the parents of babies in mind. Our baby photography division is Little Stars by Center Stage Photography.

We have nearly 7 years of experience photographing babies in the Kansas City and Overland Park areas.

Dramatic Ballerina Portraits [Kansas City Photographer]

You will love these ballerina portraits!

dramatic

emotional

beautiful

At heart I'm a photographer who loves dramatic, emotional images in dark tones - my skill with this type of imagery has even been written about in a magazine for photographers. For this portrait event, I've been inspired to photograph your daughter/s in this way - these will be timeless portraits you will treasure for a lifetime.

Coming Sunday, March 10. Black backdrop, dramatic lighting, floor reflections - I am so excited about this! I hope you are, too! (you can see more examples on our blog or on the Center Stage Facebook page).

These Ballerina mini sessions offer a discount from our usual pricing - both print collections and digital negative (CD) collections are available.
As always, we provide many tutus, leotards and hair pieces, help with hair and light-make-up if desired.

$35 session fee goes to the Academy of the Arts dance team
$50 minimum order (both due upon scheduling)

Schedule ASAP to get your preferred time

Beautiful family, beautiful portraits - Kansas City Family Portrait Photographer

I photographed these beautiful kids back in July on a day so hot and humid we had to take a break while my lens de-fogged! I've photographed these girls many times and loved adding baby brother to the mix this time. Thanks Megan and Mark - I appreciate your choosing Center Stage for your portraits!

 

 

 

Modern classics - Kansas City Portrait Photographer

I love modern "classic" portraiture. That is, posed in the studio with a modern twist. One of my favorite recent sessions, which took place in February, is of Anne's gorgeous girls.  Clothing choices can make or break a session, and Anne did a great job of choosing outfits that gave these portraits a definite "wow factor."  Thanks again, Anne, for choosing Center Stage.

Darling 2-year-old - Kansas City Photographer

What a cutie this little man was, who came for 2nd birthday portraits back in January. He was a very happy little man; even if he did enjoy wandering about the studio, and playing with my oh-so-popular alligator more than getting his portraits done. Isn't he a cutie?

Thanks, Carrie!

 

I mentioned the alligator..... everyone loves my alligator...

Bridal Portraits - Kansas City Photographer

I just realized I'm incredibly behind on blogging recent sessions! I guess I've been posting quite a bit on the Center Stage Facebook page and neglecting the blog. But I think it's good to keep it updated since it is important to show potential clients recent work.

This is an awesome session I did back in November with one of the most beautiful young women I've ever known. Jenna was a joy to work with, and I enjoyed shooting with her new husband, who is a photography enthusiast.

Beautiful Girls - Kansas City Portrait Photographer

What a treat it is to photograph girls as stunning as these! Easy-going parents who appreciate my style, plus girls who were easy and fun to work with always equals a wonderful session.

Do you need updated portraits of your children? Consider taking advantage of my winter sale - going on through the end of this month. Contact me for details: centerstage @ kc.rr.com.

 

Family Holiday Portraits - Kansas City Photographer

Oh, I love these portraits of this family - more of the modern studio style that I'm moving almost exclusively to in 2011 for studio sessions.

Photogenic Family - Kansas City Photographer

 This has to be one of my favorite studio portrait sessions of the year! Isn't this family so photogenic? You will see a lot more of this type of studio portraits from me, as in 2011 I'm going to be emphasizing contemporary studio portraiture like what you see here.

Jackie and family - thank you so much for choosing Center Stage!
