This kid has always had the coolest hair…and he’s always changin’ it up.  Love the current wildness.

This picture freaks me out a little bit…because I see my son, Tate, when I look at it.  Jackson is about 2 years or so older than Tate (thank goodness for awesome hand-me-down-clothes…Jackson kept Tate stylish)…and maybe it’s because their so close in age…I don’t know, but this pic looks so much like Tate to me.

AAAAAANNDDD…let’s not forget the woman that made this kid possible…and more specifically, the woman that put in extreme effort into getting Jackson in front of the camera finally.  Hahaha.  YES!  Luanne definite deserves a hug.  Had to get documentation of it, too!

Kansas City | Lifestyle | Tate Family

I’m a little…or a lot…obsessed with this family.  They have had quite the life changes since I’ve known them…but I’m so excited to meet the newest member of their gang.

David & Kellie’s love is infectious.  It makes me want to go run and hug my husband.

Ok ok ok…folks…check it out.  This might be the happiest baby I’ve ever encountered.  AND…he must not think I’m pure evil…because this might be the only session..or at least its been so long I can’t even remember…that I’ve had a baby not cry and frown at me for 98% of the session.  I could photograph this kid all day everyday!

Liberty Memorial | Family | Nate + Kirsten + Amelia

I LOVE these three!

Nate, Kirsten, and little Miss Amelia are one of my favorite repeat offenders.  From engagement, to wedding, to parenthood….I can’t get enough of watching this family grow!  It’s insane to think Amelia’s already 4 years old!

Eudora | Lovers | Kenna + Tyler

Ok…I’ve known and photographed Tyler for over a decade, and it’s no secret he’s a terrific guy.  So after he introduced me to Kenna and I got to take some pics of them….later on I texted him and said “Dude…your GF is hot!  Well done friend.”  To which he texted back “Thank you.  She is now my fiance.”  I’m pretty sure I squealed out loud.  So happy for Tyler…and for Kenna….she’s got a good one, fo sho!

I like to imagine Sawyer is getting an early start on his politician hands.  I’d vote for him.
