Once upon a time, I got my first DSLR (a Nikon D50 thankyouverymuch). It was a few weeks after my son, Tommy was born. My children soon became subject of my photography torture. I knew I needed to practice and learn, if I ever wanted to get great pictures of my kids.
That love for taking pictures turned into a desire to start a business, and here we are today!
There is no way I could have ever come half this far without the love, help, and support of great online communities full of photographers.

With the price of entry level DSLR’s dropping these days, I am sure most of you moms (and dads!) own something like a Canon Rebel, a Canon TSi, etc.
You CAN rock that camera! It is all about knowing how to use it properly.

And just to show you a short comparison of where I was before I found Clickin’ Moms, here is a picture of my daughter Adelai. This was taken in the Spring of 2007, four or five months after getting my camera.
Hello, discovering Lightroom!!! Pretty process fabulous, huh?




And today. My little sweet pea 3 years later.

7 day sweetness

February 7, 2010

A few days ago I traveled out to Fort Riley, Kansas to photograph this sweet little 7 day newborn, baby A.
Hands down, no contest, she was the best baby ever. So cuddly and sweet, and with a big brother that loved to help!
Here are a few of my favorites from that day.

Up to 10 pictures in your online gallery to choose from.
Two 4×6’s and 8 wallets
OR

There is a certain value to a really good, breathtaking portrait and its not monetary.
I belong to a few charity photography programs that I love, but this is so much more.

This December 12, I will be participating. Your job, as my loyal Kansas City readers, is to nominate a family, a person, a child. I want to hear the stories. You can choose to email me (which might be the best bet) or post it in comment form here.
Your job, as my fellow Kansas City artist, film makers, make-up artist, clothing designers, is to help me help another in need. Please contact me if you want to help. Even the outreach of food on the table for a family (if necessary) would be a great gesture of kindness for someone else. I can’t do this alone, I need your help!
Depending on the amount of help I have, I could make a day of this. But at the very least, I would like to do at least one shoot.
Help me make this Christmas a little bit brighter for one family, or more.

Today I had the cutest little family for a shoot down in Platte City, Missouri.
Tell me this is not one of the cutest babies you have ever seen?! I couldn’t keep my hands off her, she is just that cute!




The last one is probably one of my new favorite pictures!
Thanks for a great time you guys, I hope you like your sneak peek and your gallery will be ready soon!

It probably could not have gotten any hotter today. I was a sweaty gross mess by the end of this session, totally cute.
Any way, met the adorable H family!!
It was a pleasure “y’all” :)
