This sweet family, in their element: bubbles, mohawk helmet, giggles, root beer floats, playful and creative siblings topped off with loads of love. Just the kind of family I love to know. This front yard spring shoot in their front yard was perfectly fitting. Hugs to you friends.  

The saving grace for my family has been to get outdoors these quarantined days. We’ve done lots of walks around the neighborhood, we lay and listen to the birds, we’ve picnicked in the yard, drawn on the sidewalks, tossed the frisbee. Our favorite thing to do is stand in the sidewalks and talk to our […]

For those of you who didn’t know or missed our announcement in Nov of 2018 on Instagram, we are foster parents. Proud foster parents. We have two amazing little nuggets and started fostering them in 2018 and early 2019. While understanding the need for privacy and not sharing too much, I do however want to […]

The Kephart’s Lifestyle family session with the white spring trees in Independence Missouri historic square.

Sometimes I still can’t believe I have TWO kids in the house. It happened so fast yet I’ve been praying for this journey for a long time. The life of a foster parent/foster mom is quite interesting, fun and all sorts of things. I have two incredible boys currently in our home and are loving […]

These stylish little girlies were the best smilers and so attentive their whole family session in Kansas City at the Loose Park’s Rose Garden last week. With their fur, matching golden bows, their baby blonde hair and curly sue hair, and super hip shoes they were totally portrait ready. I’m always so much more pleased […]

Just look at those adorable little cheeks.. Merry Christmas to you all and your growing family. And a big thank you […]

Tis the season for baby birthdays and newborns. This “wild one” turned ONE! The last time I photographed this family was when I did his big brother’s first birthday photos at Lake Tapawingo about 5 years ago. During this session at Blue Springs lake, there were so many moments I saw photo flash backs in my […]

Happy second birthday to my beautiful little friend, Christina. I LOVE my little friends. They are my favorites. When you ask her how old she is, she’s two, but four fingers definitely go up. I love it. Thanks for being so adorable on a perfect summer night at golden hour. Holding hands with you walking […]

5.23.16 | Two weeks ago (born 5.9.16 just before midnight, almost two different birthdays) I got to document these two little snuggle bugs as they made their way into the world. This week, I got to visit mommy and daddy and all the girls again. The newborn twins changed so much just in these few […]

Here are some of our favorites from our Easter Spring mini sessions last week on the Independence square. What adorable children, newborn babies and great families to work with. I hope you all had as much fun as these pictures show. We did a lot of working out with these kidos running around playing with […]

Happy birthday to my little man and dear friends the Kackleys. Liam turned three, I can hardly believe it. And of course, leave it up to Laura to be creative and adorable with his birthday decor. More to come soon.
