The Hearts of Kansas City

Have you noticed the hearts of Kansas City? Heart sculptures have popped up throughout the city, each uniquely designed by a local artist. It’s embarrassing to admit but originally my daughter knew more about this art project than I did!?! Although I was born and raised in South Georgia, I’m proud to call Kansas City...

Making the most out of your Maternity Photographs

When I was seven months pregnant, I tortured myself with some self portraits of my pregnant belly. I placed my camera on a tripod, set my exposure manually and waddled over to an ‘X’ I’d marked on the floor. My own maternity photographs made me cringe when I saw the back of the screen. ‘Oooh,...

Never Forget- Childhood is Magic

Something wasn’t right. It was obvious by the sad, concerned look in my daughters eyes. ‘Momma, I need to talk to you about something…’ She doesn’t keep secrets from me, at least not yet. She was born a truth teller and it’s one of the foundations I’ve build upon as a parent. In our house,...

It got the rest of us laughing which resulted in something ‘almost’ candid. He’d gotten into this habit after our portraits for the church directory came back. He looked stiff,...

Raising Compassionate Daughters in World of Mean Girls

Raising a Compassionate Daughter in today’s world of Cyber-space is quite the challenge.

At bath time I notice my daughter studying her seven year old figure in the mirror. She turns herself from side-to-side attempting to straighten her posture & suck in her belly.

Do you Tip Photographers? Best practices.

When should you tip for services? My hair was dull, life-of-it’s-own ‘pandemic’ hair circa January 2021… I’d been cutting my own bangs & attacking split ends for more than a year. And I know I wasn’t the only one cutting my own hair! The salon is a luxury we’ve long taken for granted. My daughter...
