The art of pregnancy, Elle magazine and Jessica Simpson [Kansas City Matenrity Photography]

Everyone who follows pop culture knows that this week, a nude and pregnant Jessica Simpson is on the cover of Elle Magazine. Doesn't she look amazing? There's so much strength and beauty in the pregnant form, and I'm so happy so many women, like Jessica Simpson, are choosing to document this time in their lives with custom maternity portraits.  I happen to think I'm one of the best at this special type of portrait, and get so much satisfaction in creating stunning and dramatic maternity images for women in the Kansas City area.

Julie contacted me early in her pregnancy to start planning her maternity session, and kept me up to date over time. She couldn't have looked more beautiful when the time finally arrived.

 

 Center Stage Photography's Lori Wood Habiger is known for her artful, dramatic maternity portraits. She has been photographing women in the Kansas City area and beyond for more than 5 years at her studio in Shawnee, on the west side of the metro area.

New Families [Kansas City newborn photographer]

Here at Little Stars by Center Stage, we believe in making the family a focus of our newborn portrait sessions. We also of course do many images of just the baby in natural "poses," but it's the family portraits that we love. The interaction between parents and/or siblings and the new baby is beautiful and emotional and something to be remembered.

Outdoor Family Portraits [Kansas City Portrait Photographer]

 When fall comes around, Center Stage Photography gets busy photographing families outdoors in locations throughout the Kansas City area, and beyond - but our favorite locations are in parks and on farms, about an hour before sunset. Here's just a few examples from our sessions this past fall - the weather was beautiful (and so are our clients!).
