Babies, Babies & More Babies

This past couple of weekends I have had so much fun photographing newborns with my good friend (and a great photographer as well) Sandy Rubin-Warner.  Sandy went to a newborn workshop for photographers and has been ever so kind as to share what she learned with me.

Sunday we photographed Miss Paighton.  This beautiful darling was 9 days old.  Miss Paighton was tolerant of us as we put her in different poses and dressed her up.  We couldn't get enough of her!

The weekend before we did a photo shoot Miss Adalynn who was 8 days old.  Miss Adalynn couldn't have been any better; she actually spoiled us, making us believe all newborn shoots would be a breeze.

The same day we photographed Miss Paighton, we also photographed little Mr. Zachary.  He broke us in and proved to be our challenging baby.  Poor little guy was having tummy pains, so we ended up holding and soothing him more than we photographed him.  Not that I ever mind snuggling a newborn ;0)

All I can say is that I love photographing babies! :0)

Photographing Miss Kahli...

I just love photographing high school seniors.  It's an exciting time in their life as they begin to make plans for their future.  This past Sunday I had the honor of photographing Miss Kahli for her Senior portraits.

Kahli is a beautiful young lady, with the most amazing smile and incredible eyes.  Kahli is a Senior this year at Olathe South High School.  She is a pitcher for her high school's softball team and plans on going into nursing after graduating next Spring.

We held the first part of our shoot just outside of Baldwin at Black Jack.  Black Jack has these impressive maple trees lined up in rows.  The trees used to be tapped for the production of maple syrup, back during the civil war era.  The trees make a fabulous backdrop for a photograph; Add Miss Kahli to those trees and you have beautiful portrait.



The last half of our shoot was held in Vinland on a private farm.  We took advantage of all the natural backdrops and captured some great shots.  In this part of the shoot we pulled in Kahli's boyfriend Scott.  Scott just returned home from a recent tour in Iraq.  Scott is enlisted in the Army and stationed in Ft. Hood.  (Thank you for your service Scott!) 

It took a little coaxing for Scott to warm up, but all I had to do was ask him to look and Kahli and he would smile every time.  All in all, it was a fun afternoon and we captured some really great shots.  Thank Miss Kahli for sharing your day with me.  :0)
