Fall photos in the West Bottoms

Kansas City has so many wonderful urban areas.  The West Bottoms, dating back to the early 19th century, is so fun and full of culture.  Personally, I think the antique stores should all be open every weekend, instead of just the first weekend of the month.  But, I suppose if they were always open, then taking photos down there would be more difficult.  Having a fairly quiet outdoor studio spanning several square blocks is kind of nice. ;)

Pumpkins, Parkville and Plenty of Fun

I love a good walk through the woods.  The sounds of the bird and scampering squirrels....babbling brooks and waterfalls...  I really should go for nature walks more frequently!  Thank you Scrivens family for making the drive to Parkville for photos.  I enjoyed catching up with you guys and look forward to meeting the new addition.

Growing by Two Feet

I photographed this lovely couple's wedding a couple of years ago.  Now, they are pregnant and ready to add a new little guy to the family.  It is so fun to watch families grow!  Congrats guys on the baby.  I can't wait to meet him in a few weeks!

The Seasons are Changing

It is that busy time of year again with apple pies, pumpkin desserts, colorful trees and lots of portraits.  I love fall!

Baby cuddles

I spent my morning with a precious little girl with a head full of dark hair.  It has been just a little over a year since I've held my own newborn.  I do not miss the sleepless nights or the million soiled diapers but there is something to be said for a good baby snuggle! ;)

Pretty in Parkville

I love small towns with their quaint downtown.  I especially love Parkville with the antique shops right next the river with country on one side and the city just down the road on the other side.  Perfect... :)
