Babies are beautiful - Kansas City Baby Photographer


This newborn was actually a few weeks old when I photographed him - at his home rather than at the studio. It was a first for me! I'm so used to studio light, but it really surprised me  how much I love these images photographed with natural light. What a cute little man, won't you agree?

Beautiful Pregnancy Portraits - Kansas City Baby and Pregnancy Photographer

I created maternity portraits for Dana back when my business was just starting, and I had the chance to do another session for her recently. I've always said that Dana helped me to start my business by sending me so many referrals - something I will always appreciate. She's a beauty, inside and out, and I'm so happy to share some of her portraits with those interested in my work.

Thank you, once again, Dana! I am looking forward to meeting your baby boy soon.

Home or the Holidays - Kansas City Family Portrait Photograper



I traveled to Atchison to photograph this extended family who were together for the holidays - first the large family group and then each individual family. And while the large family group was photographed in the parents' home, a couple of families did brave the freezing wind for outdoor portraits - you could never tell how chilly it was!  What a great family to work with! Thank you for choosing Center Stage!

Snowy Senior Portraits - Kansas City Senior Portraits Photographer



I photographed this gorgeous girl back in the late summer for her senior portraits, and at the time she mentioned that she would love to get together again for snow portraits in the winter time. We took advantage of a recent snow, and wow, I love them! It was about 15 degrees with high wind - so cold, but you can't even tell by looking at her - and she even loaned me her gloves.

Another Photogenic Family - Kansas City Portrait Photographer


My approach to family portraits in the studio is to create simple, classic images that won't look out of date in a few years - they will look as beautiful in your home now as they will in 2021. I also work very hard on posing and lighting that is flattering to the people I photograph - everyone wants to look great in their portraits, and I always keep that in mind.  I loved photographing this family - and I love the results of their session!
