Sneak Peek for Senior Spokesmodel Alexis

I met Alexis at the grand opening party at Stem and I immediately knew I wanted to photograph her. She's got such a beautiful smile and it's simply contagious. Shooting her senior portraits was beyond fun. Her mom and sister (who she's very close with) tagged along and we even snuck in a family session at the end. Here are a few sneak peeks from our fabulous day together!

And her sister Brittany was more than happy to jump in (literally) for a few photos herself! Hopefully I'll be shooting Brittany's senior portraits next year.

By the end of the day my cheeks actually hurt from smiling so much. And that's never a bad thing! Love both of these beautiful girls and their family. More to come soon!

Sneak Peek for Sam | Kansas City Senior Portraits

I just worked up a little sneak peek for Sam, our only male senior spokesmodel this year. Sam is a super cool guy. He's confident, talented and adventurous. And even better – he's super comfortable in front of the camera, which made my job so easy. 

Check out a few of my favorite shots.

Happy Friday!

Sneak Peek for the Boys | Kansas City Senior Portraits

Last year I shot Katie…and I just realized I never blogged her session! You can check it out on our facebook page, though. She's since become one of my all-time favorite seniors. I've used her on business cards and in print ads. She's beyond fabulous!

Yesterday I shot her little brother, Jack, and two of his best friends. And, guess what? They totally rock, too! I rarely shoot senior boys – not because I don't want to…I just always seem to book girls. These guys were amazing! 

Here's Jack with his killer blue eyes.

And Chris.

And Trenton.

Thanks for a fun afternoon, guys. And for any teenage girls who may have driven by The Nelson yesterday afternoon while the boys were changing their shirts, you're welcome.

Hope you enjoy the sneak peek. More to come so stay tuned!

Her Life Magazine August Trendsetter | Clique Boutique

It's finally August and I can share another Her Life Magazine Trendsetter shoot with everyone. I swear the wait from shoot to publication time nearly kills me. 

The August issue features Clique Boutique, a lovely little gem in the The Village. Clique is relatively new so I stopped in a couple of weeks before the shoot to check it out.

I hadn't even make it in the door before my jaw hit the floor. Clique is filled with racks of stunning dresses and shelves of amazing handbags, but the jewelry…oh the gigantic, glorious jewelry, was what really pulled me in. (This is where we insert our first Rachel Zoe I DIE moment.) I'm such a jewelry hound and for me the bigger and bolder, the better.

This first piece from Jet Lag Jewels was insane!

Loved the earrings from 74 Harley Street and the Jet Lag Jewels bracelet.

And this 74 Harley Street Necklace was amazing. Rachel Zoe would definitely die. TWICE.

Clique also carries Me&Ro, which I love.

And then there's the Jet Lag Jewels turquoise necklace. Can you ever have too much turquoise? Don't answer that.

This leather cut-out dress was amazing! I wish I would have taken a close-up. The detail is unbelievable.

And this gray dress with the pink Jet Lag Jewels necklace…the perfect combo!

Be sure to check out Clique Boutique, located at 6951 Tomahawk Rd, Prairie Village, KS 66208.

Thanks to Tracy and Ann at Clique and the rest of the team that made this shoot happen. 

Model : Emily Ostertag from Exposure, Inc.

Hair : Chandra Kelso of Fringe

Makeup : Melissa Evans

And an extra big thanks to my favorite sidekicks, Genna Wissing and Tracy Routh, who assisted on this crazy fun shoot!

Be sure to pick up a copy of the August issue of HERLIFE Magazine. It can be found in lots of Kansas City area boutiques, salons and doctor's offices or you can order a subscription on the HERLIFE website.

Until next time,

Quinlynn and Hallie | Lawrence Newborn Photographer

I shared a couple of sneak peeks of Quinlynn and Hallie a few weeks ago. Here are a few more favorites from my session with these two beautiful girls. And yes – as always – the baby fever is full effect. These teeny tiny ones get me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Love this next one so much! We used it on the inside of Quinlynn's birth announcement and their mama ordered a 22×22 canvas of it. Can't wait to see it on her wall!

It's been a while since I photographed a two year old. I had almost forgotten how much fun they are!

Couldn't you just eat her up? She's seriously one of the cutest little things I've ever seen.

There aren't many things a two year old loves more than a lollipop!

Lots of love,
