The B kids...morning light...Central Kansas Child Photographer

I just love the morning light, the only problem is that it comes so early, especially this time of year and it is hard to get everyone ready before it gets too harsh. The heat these days is just unbearable for the kids (ok, maybe I'm thinking about the photographer too:)) But, lets face it, if everyone is red-faced and sweaty it doesn't work very well for beautiful gleaming portraits so I was so excited to get the chance to photograph these kids in that sweet morning light. I thought I would come a little early just so I would be ready when they were, but they beat me and were waiting on me...come on photographer!:) I actually underestimated the time it took to get to their place. But, it all workd out. They have such a beautiful place, and I'm always excited to photograph in different areas for variety. Did I mention that it is SO hot and SO dry in our part of the world right now? Well, it is and with that the pastures and lawns are suffering. I was glad they had some green in their pasture and we also visited their historic homestead for some beautiful shots around the barn and buildings. Thanks again for such a refreshing morning!

Thanks for looking:)

Cuddly sweet...Newborn girl 9 days new...Ellsworth, KS Newborn Photographer, Kansas Newborn Photographer

Have I said how much I love to photograph newborns? They are a lot of work during the session and usually take more time to edit. And, I typically have way more poses and blankets and props than I can fit into any given shoot, but it always leaves me anxious for my next session:) Oh, and since the babies are without clothes, I crank up the heat, so I'm usually sweating too. But, I love it and I love getting images like these. Thanks so much for sharing your sweet girl with me! So, with that, here are some shots of Miss B!

Thanks for looking!

A fun and HOT evening...Miss M...Central Kansas Child Photographer, Lincoln, KS Child Photographer

A hot summer evening and what better way to enjoy it than with a photo shoot! We enjoyed wild flowers, a little tea party and playing on the farm. When I arrived to her house, she was not sure she wanted to have her pictures taken and I assured her that we would have fun. Still skeptical when I would ask her to do something silly, she would just reply, "I'm not going to do that." And, her Mom would offer to do it so she could get some treasure. (I bring a treasure box for kids to pick out of at the end of the session if they do a good job...I'm not afraid to bribe:)). And, to her Mom's response, she would say, "Stop it Mom." She was so serious and it just cracked me up. By the end of the evening she was smiling and running and having a ball. And, she didn't forget that I owed her some treasure.
