Jake: Senior 2011

I knew Jake's family way before our session. Back in my teaching days I had his sister Grace in my second grade class. That feels like yesterday. But the fact that she is a sophomore now tells me otherwise! I know as a teacher you aren't supposed to have favorites, but well...she was one of mine. So when I ran into her mom at the grocery store and we talked about senior portraits for Jake, I jumped at the chance to hang out with this great family! Jake will be graduating next month and starting a new chapter in life. I am so glad I was able to capture him in his senior year, at this moment in time when so many possibilities are on the horizon. Best wishes Jake, and congratulations!

Now booking juniors this year who will be seniors in the class of 2011-2012!

Miracles and Memories

A few Saturdays ago I co-hosted an event up in North KC that celebrated moms and daughters. I partnered up with Lindy Sheets from Mary Kay and some of her team members and we created a fun afternoon of moms and daughters playing with the new spring make-up looks (and Miracle Set) and then getting a complimentary portrait taken together. It was so much fun to see them all creating their new looks. There was music, laughter and of course, yummy treats!

We'll be having another mother/daughter event coming up on April 30th in Lenexa. I'd love to see you there. There is no charge, no obligation. Just fun! Take a look at the flier HERE and contact me if you are interested. There are only a limited number of spots.

Little Feet

On Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting a really fun event for the Kansas Special Olympics. Little Feet is part of YOUNG ATHLETES™, an innovative sports play program for children with intellectual disabilities, ages 3-7, designed to introduce them to the world of sports, prior to Special Olympics eligibility at age 8. (Click HERE to read more) I loved watching these kiddos experience these activities, some for the first time. They had fun going through hoops, jumping, running, dribbling balls and more. My favorite part of all was seeing all the enthusiasm and love going around. Can't wait to participate again this next weekend!
