Back Yard Fun

A sunny afternoon and nothing else to do but shoot some happy snaps

Spring time in Kansas City

If you don't like the weather when you open your door, close it and try again.
If you live in Kansas City that is the truth. We can have four seasons in one day. We had a snow
storm last weekend, the day before it was 80. At least it is always interesting.

Photos

Time to get a portrait taken

Dark beauties

I did my annual photograph of Aggie this week. I do birthday portraits for a group of kids. I have been doing it since they were born and now they are seven years old. It is a great project. Photographing Aggie this week reminded me of another shot I did a few years ago for a fashion magazine and thought it would be fun to put the pictures together. Look at those eyes.

Smile

Put on a happy face and smile.

Then and Now

We have a playgroup for working moms that we started when our kids were born. Six moms from the advertising business got together and formed a group and we meet every month switching out at each others homes, we have been doing this for 6 years now. My contribution to the group is birthday portraits for each child every year and what a great measure of time. Here is a photo I shot of three of the girls when they were two and then again yesterday when they all are seven. Can't wait to see what they will look like in another five years.

Kids Grow up

Kids grow up which I guess means we get older too. Never did time start to pass as quickly as when the little people came along. They are a measure of your own aging. My girls are the best things that have ever happened to me. They are the muses that inspire my work.
