Rock Stars │Ottawa Kansas Photographer

I was excited to finally get to do Jennifer's photos with her and Rod and their awesome twin girls. I've known them for several years and just love them to death.

We started the session at their place, but quickly realized the cold, strong Kansas wind was not being very nice to us, so Jennifer suggested the nearby rock quarry.

And then some rock stars were born.

Sorry. I had to say it.

Anyway, here is their preview. We got some really fun shots because they are really fun people.

I had a great time and I'm pretty sure they did too...once we got down into the quarry and out of the stupid wind. Thanks, Jennifer and Rod, for allowing me the honor of photographing your awesome family. Can't wait to show you the rest...even Rod feeding the cow with his mouth.

Fun with the L Family │Ottawa Kansas Photographer

Believe it or not, I get super nervous before each photo shoot. Those nerves double if I've never met the peeps. It's true. But after jumping right into the shoot with this wonderful family, my nerves were quickly replaced with the joy that I get from capturing the personalities and love between people.

It's an awesome thing when it's this genuine.

Thanks guys, for a GREAT time! I so appreciate your creative input and willingness to play and have fun.

Kayla │Ottawa Kansas Senior Photographer

I had another fantabulous time with senior, Kayla today. Not only is she yet another beautiful girl that made my job way too easy, but she was a real trooper. Here in Kansas, we woke to 35 degree temps and she didn't complain once. I might've once or twice...

Anyway, here is a sneak peek from her session.

As you can see, she pretty much rocked this session, despite the cold temps. Her only concern was that you wouldn't be able to see the goose bumps! No worries, Kayla, I smoothed those right out.

The cemetery is becoming a very popular shooting location for my clients. And to think I thought people would find that creepy at first.

I LOVED this sassy look she had. Who says you have to smile in every shot?

Thanks, Kayla! I'm glad you had fun and hope you love your photos!

The K Family │Ottawa Kansas Photographer

From the get go, I knew the 'K' Family would be awesome. Awesome people just tend to shine for the camera. I'd barely gotten started shooting and we were all joking and having a great time. I even pretended to almost fall off a step stool to prove I was game for shenanigans. *Ahem*

Anyway, here's just another example of some super great people who made my job incredibly easy.

This little lady has a mega-watt smile, no? She is just a little bundle of joy.

(p.s. fellow photogs: feel free to drool over that bokeh. )

And this guy was ready for anything. I just love his hazel eyes.

Sometimes you can just tell when you're in the presence of a strong, healthy family. This dad keeps everyone laughing, I can tell you that much. You gotta keep laughing.

Thanks Renee, for contacting me and allowing me the honor of photographing your beautiful family.

I'm looking forward to working on the rest of your pics!
