A Slideshow for Brooke and Justin │Ottawa Kansas Children's Photographer

I love taking pictures of these little peanuts. They always make me smile. Here's a little slideshow of some of my favorites from our session this morning. I hope they make you smile too. ♥

Jill and Mike │Ottawa Kansas Photographer

Tonight I had the distinct pleasure of photographing Jill and Mike's family. Not only are they a beautiful and loving family, but they are hanging in there through a tough health battle. Mike was recently blessed with a liver transplant and still has many obstacles to overcome. From reading a journal that Jill has been keeping online for friends and family, I get the sense that their faith is still strong and they are fighting the good fight.

Here is a little teaser from their session tonight. Of course there are so many I still want to share, but it's getting late and my computer was being very disobedient.


Family shoots are actually quite laid back, especially with young kids involved. I want everyone to just let out their breath from the day and relax. We played and roamed around the berry farm. Here are some of my favorites so far.

Thanks Jill for contacting me and Mike for enduring the heat for your photos! You are an inspiration to me and many others, I am sure. This is just a taste! Hang in there and I'll get a few more up tomorrow.

Another Connor Preview │Ottawa Kansas Senior Photographer

Thought I would share a few more of Connor I really love. Of course, I love all of them...but I'll limit myself to a few more!

If you're a 2011 senior and want to make sure you get a date this year, let me know asap and I'll put you on a reservation list for the months of August-October. I can't give you a date until I know my days off from work, but if you are on a list I can contact you when I do know!

Connor │Ottawa Kansas Senior Photographer

Meet Connor, my Senior Representative for 2011! I am so thankful she agreed to be my rep this year. She has an artist's heart and an eye for visual beauty so I knew she'd be bringing something special to the shoot.

It doesn't hurt that she looks pretty fierce in all her pics. She's a natural in front of the camera and let me tell you, it was brain numbing hard to pick the photos for this sneak peek. No worries though, with her being my senior rep, I will be posting lots of shots from our session tonight.

This is just the beginning, Connor! I hope you like what you see so far and stay tuned for more! Thanks again for being my rep and rocking it out tonight.
