Carly Jo - Kansas City Senior Portraits - Mill Valley High School

I really, really love photographing seniors. And I really, really, really loved photographing Carly Jo! I mean - look at her - she's a photographer's dream.

I'm now scheduling seniors in the Class of 2012, and have some nice bonus items for seniors who schedule with me between now and the first day of school. To see more examples of my senior portrait photography, click here. Give me a call or send me an email to reserve your time! Center Stage email address

Baby Love - Kansas City Baby Photography

 I absolutely love photographing babies who are newly sitting on their own - 6-8 months old, before they can crawl, and before they become frightened of my studio lights. They make the most adorable faces. As you know, I prefer things simple and modern - I like to produce images that will never look dated, and that aren't cluttered with props and loud backdrops - none of that is needed with beauty like this!

This baby was such fun to photograph, and the daughter of one a wonderful client. Thanks, Wendy, for choosing Center Stage to photograph your newest baby girl.

 

Newborn Baby Girl - Kansas City Newborn Portraits

This baby girl's Grandma Pam is one of my favorite clients, so I was thrilled when she asked me to photograph her new little granddaughter. What a great new family, and adorable baby. People like this make my job so gratifying! Thanks Pam, Kevin and Jessie - I appreciate your choosing Center Stage Photography for your baby's newborn 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.

The Art of Pregnancy Portraits - Kansas City Maternity Photographer

One of my specialties is maternity portraits. Thanks in part to famous 1991Vanity Fair cover featuring an Annie Leibovitz portrait of pregnant Demi Moore, portraits done during pregnancy are sought out by many women today. I really love these sessions, and work hard to produce not just portraits, but art as well.

Here's two recent favorites, taken during a session in February (the subject wishes to remain anonymous). Beautiful!

Another beautiful baby boy - Kansas City Newborn Photographer

Congratulations to Dana and Ryan on the birth of their son! Dana was one of our first portrait clients four years ago - how neat to see this family grow through our work.

 

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.
