A Gorgeous Bit of Pink! {Wichita Newborn and Children's Photographer}

Today I had the pleasure of photographing Baby Sofia. She's an absolute doll baby. I mean, I could do anything to her and she just sucked on her hands and stared at me. What a trooper! She's a tiny bit of pink that reminds me so much of my sweet Claire. And we couldn't leave big sister out, so I took some really darling images of her, as well. Mom says she's having a hard time adjusting to no longer holding the position of family baby but I know in no time they're going to be best buds. Enjoy!

What are "mini-sessions"? It's a whole lotta fun in a little bit o' time! Great for family or childrens portraits, you'll get to spend 30 minutes with me. Come ready to go and we'll take a quick loop around the gorgeous Botanica Gardens and you'll wind up with 8-10 edited images for a pretty price! We'll start shooting at 9 and sessions will run every 45 minutes all day until 4pm. Contact me for more information on admission to the gardens or to book your session!

A Mother's Day Portrait {Wichita Family Photographer}

Today I had the pleasure of meeting up with a dear friend of mine at Botanica. I am hosting mini-sessions there on June 6th, check back tomorrow for more details! Even though I was juggling my own six kids I managed to snap a few portraits for her. She's going to give them to her husband for Father's Day! I've seen J grow from a toddler into a delightful little boy and we had a blast. I promise not to bring my own kids to your shoot unless we're having a play date ;-) Enjoy C!

An Unexpected Birth {Wichita Birth Photographer}

Raw

One of my best friends gave birth to her third baby and I just happened to be in town for a visit. I had the honor of attending a very intense, emotional baby welcoming.

Water Birth {Wichita Birth Photographer}

Well, K didn't make it to her final on Wednesday! I was called to her home at around 4am this morning and she gave birth to her first son, H, at 6:41am. He was born in the water surrounded by loving family and some wonderful midwives. Here are a few of my most favorite shots, enjoy!
