sarina {six months}

I first met little Sarina back in March when her mom came to me to get maternity photos taken.  I work with both of Sarina's parents & they heard of my photography through a friend.  I got to meet Sarina in person about a month later when she came to my studio for her newborn photo session.  She was one of the first newborns I had in my official studio.  :)  We couldn't get Sarina to sleep for anything!  She was such a busy little baby.
Well, after 6 months, nothing changed!  :)  She was as sweet & lively as ever.  Such a happy baby to work with which made for some great shots!  She posed very well for me & gave me such a laugh because she occasionally had to lean down & taste the backdrop!  What a sweetheart.  Enjoy her photos!









Have a happy Wednesday!  More previews to come soon!

ella {brand new}

I traveled a little ways to meet this cutie.  But it was SO worth it.  :)  She was so cuddly & such a sweet baby girl.  Ella's parents couldn't be more proud & I cannot wait to photograph their whole family next month!
Ella's parents chose a monkey hat for some of the photos, calling her "their little monkey".  :)  We also dolled her up with different flower headbands & even some pearls.  Their family dog kept a close watch on the baby & what I was doing.  A very special part of this shoot was Ella with each of her parents.  We didn't do a full shoot with the parents, however I have photos of her in their arms.  Such sweet moments of the mommy & daddy holding their sweet baby the first week of her life.  Ella's dad got Ella & her mom matching bracelets with their initials on them.  We made sure to get photographs of that & also some of dad getting to snuggle with his baby.
I had a great time & can't wait to see this baby & this family again!  Enjoy these photos for now!








Check back soon for another session's blog post!

collin {senior}

Collin's senior shoot was so much fun!  I always jump at the idea of high school athletes.  It's very cool to photograph kids with hobbies.  For Collin's shoot we focused on his awesome red Challenger, his football & baseball.  It was very tough to pick my favorites, but as you can tell I REALLY like the ones at the old stadium.  I've been dying to shoot football photos there!  We started at Pillsbury with the car then finished up at my home studio.  It was very fun getting to hang out with Collin & his mom, Jody for a couple of hours!  I hope you enjoy the photos!

kynslee {brand new}

Hello!  A few days late, but I always show up.  :)

Today is about Kynslee.  A sweet baby girl that I was anxious to photograph ever since I found out her mom was pregnant.  Her mom (a coworker of mine at my "big girl" job) asked me to do maternity photos of her & then photos when Kynslee would finally arrive.  Of course I took on this gorgeous momma-to-be. Her maternity session was so much fun & I had even more fun at Kynslee's newborn session.  She is such an alert baby & was fighting going to sleep because she wanted to see what was going on.  We took some photos in her pink & white Jordans & I even got her in my oversized teacup.  I've been dying to use that thing & she worked perfectly!  :)  Enjoy the photos!







I will blog again sometime this week with my next session!

See ya then,

jonathan & ashley {married}

Yes I know, I'm a tad behind...  :)

But finally Jonathan & Ashley's wedding gallery is done!  I've decided to switch things up & instead of updating the photos on my website after each session, I'm just going to start blogging about them.  :D

Jonathan & Ashley got married north of Topeka at the Branded B Ranch.  Very cool place!  It was a little warm that day, but was worth it.  The ceremony was outside at the ranch & was beautiful with the reception following inside.  The cake was HUGE & the food was awesome.  Not too mention this bride looked stunning.  Down to the last detail.  It was a very sweet & touching wedding.  To see them both with their parents, family & friends - you could feel the love everyone had for one another.  And there were so many kids at this wedding!  They even had a bouncy thing set up outside for them during the reception.

Anywho, I'll stop blabbing & share some photos.  Enjoy!














Next up:  7 day old Kynslee.  Stay posted!
Love,
D
