Hayley - Mill Valley High School - Kansas City Senior Photographer

I'm having such a difficult time this week with my blog. When I have so many beautiful images, how in the heck do I choose only a few to share? Hayley didn't help me out one bit, being so photogenic! She can look so different from moment to moment - which made for a great session.  I'm tempted to put all 50 or so proofs on my blog, but I'll refrain - here are a few of my favorites.

I love photographing seniors - if you are looking for a senior photographer, choose me! My style is fashionable yet natural - you will still look like you, and you will be able to recognize yourself in your portraits 10 years from now, which I think is really important. Plus, I'm lots of fun! (Right, Hayley?)

Family Studio Session - Kansas City Portrait Photographer

I have the most difficult time choosing preview images for my blog when I do a session like this - a family session with a bunch of very attractive people with two different backdrops and lots of variations of who is in the portrait - I'm just not good at choosing! Debbi's family is incredibly photogenic so really, I can't go wrong with any image I choose - goodness, even the dog is photogenic! Anyway, here's your preview, Debbi and family. I really appreciate you choosing Center Stage for your family portraits.

Looks can be deceiving - Kansas City Newborn Photographer

From the look of her in these images, you would think this baby girl sleeps all of the time. But you would be wrong. In fact, the first time I photographed her, she barely slept at all! Which is why I had the pleasure to hang out with Wendy and Tim twice this week (which was actually very enjoyable!). You see, this tiny little angel gave me a very difficult time on Monday, so she returned on Thursday and was so snuggly and peaceful - easy as pie the second time around.

Wendy - I'm so happy you found me - it's been an honor.

Senior Portraits and a Family Session, too! - Kansas City Senior Portraits

Last week I had a great time photographing this family in a local park, which also served as a senior portrait session for older daughter Cari, who is visiting from Michigan. We had a lot of fun despite the heat, and I'm happy to show this preview. Looking forward to showing you the rest!

Thank you for choosing Center Stage!

Family Studio Session - Kansas City Portrait Photographer

I've photographed this family before, but the new wrinkle this time is they brought their dog - it seems like I'm photographing a lot of dogs lately - another one is expected on Wednesday. Thankfully, they all have been very well-behaved in the studio so far!

Thanks, Tanya - I always enjoy photographing your beautiful family - gallery coming soon.

Happy 7th birthday to my little boy!

Wishing my son a wonderful 7th birthday -

he's the most kindhearted, social little guy I know.

I can't imagine loving you more.
