Baby Oliver's Newborn Session

I told you that baby Oliver was going to have a lot of photo sessions and I couldn't be happier! This little sweetie was nice and sleepy and very cooperative. What a great way to spend the morning... Thanks Emily for all your help.

Peace out, Oliver...

Should one family get to be this cute?!

Little Sam is getting so big! I did his newborn pictures about 8 months ago and, wow, how he has changed... he went from a tiny, sleepy brunette to a smiley, active blonde! He is still the cutest thing ever.

Thanks for letting me spend the evening with you guys (and grandma and grandpa too!). I loved seeing you again and hope you love the pictures...

I love this because it looks like the dog is snarling, maybe because he has been replaced...

Wedding Showers

This beautiful wedding took place during one of the weekends of rain. So lots of soggy grass and umbrellas, but everyone was great sports and braved the sprinkles for some photo ops.

I shot this wedding with two other talented photographers, Melissa Rieke and Beth Hodge. You can check out their shots at: http://melissariekephotography.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/mr-mrs-boal-kansas-city-wedding-photographer/ and http://bethhodgephoto.blogspot.com/2010/05/boal-wedding.html

Love dad's face looking at his little girl...

Their best man and maid of honor gave hilarious toasts!

Oliver's First 48

This is one ridiculously perfect little bundle of cuteness! I got to meet Oliver when he was about 28 hours old and, oh, is he sweet. I can't wait to watch him grow up and see the combination of his mom and dad meld into what will certainly be darling - and maybe slightly hilarious! Congrats and enjoy your little cutie's first (of many) photo shoots.

I love the way he is looking at his mommy. I know he probably can't really see her, but it still looks sweet.

Denver

A couple weeks ago we went on a great trip to Denver with our friends/neighbors. They have a little guy Finn's age and they are great buddies! Here are some pics of them playing on the beach of a little lake just outside the city - Denver is so cool!

Love the little diaper plumber butts!

Slinging sand! This really reminds me of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn...

As his mom would say, "Oh, Charles..." so cute.

Best buddies holding hands in their car seats on the way back to the airport.

Engagement Pics

While Emily was busy spending time with her new (darling) baby, I had the privilege of shooting Deana and Kevin's engagement pics. It was great to spend the morning with these two. Can't wait for the wedding in a couple weeks!!

We ran into this group of kids taking a drawing class on the steps of the Nelson and decided to jump in.

Finally!

I have been waiting 2 years to get to take this little cutie's pictures! Not only is she absolutely darling, but she is also funny, sweet and smart - oh and her parents are pretty great, too. Enjoy!
