Union Station Family Session | Extended Family Fun

by SimplyHollyJo on February 4, 2020 , No Comments

I’m so excited to share this great Union Station family session! Emily contacted me to say she wanted to surprise her mother with extended family photos for her birthday. Awesome! Great! I love it! The only problem was that it was January, and cold. Super cold. And there was only a three day window to get everyone together. We brainstormed some options and when Emily was ready, we set it all up and met up at Union Station. First of all, we have lucked out on some super nice days/weeks this Winter. But this particular day was COLD. It was […]

What a beautiful evening at Ernie Miller Park! The light was gorgeous and we had to work around no less than three other photographers. I guess we all saw the beauty in the fields and paths of Ernie Miller Park! This lovely family was the winner of a giveaway that I did for Moms Together, a local moms group that I attend. It was so fun to the their photos and interact with their girls. One of the girls is my future assistant. She was all about setting up her own poses and choosing locations. She was instantly hired. It […]

City Center Library Family Session | Lenexa, Kansas

I may have nerded out a bit when I was asked to do this session in the new City Center Library. I was SO excited. Libraries are so fun to me, and it was something I had never done before. New adventures and jumping out of my comfort zone, can be really fun! I was not disappointed. Stacks on Stacks Gone are the days of the old, giant stacks. At least here. I love those things. The ones that move when you crank them are some of my favorite. You don’t get quite the same feel with the shorter stacks, […]

Fall Family Session | Mill Creek Streamway Park

I love family sessions. And this one at Mill Creek Streamway Park in Shawnee was gorgeous. First of all we had a little one celebrating his first year! He was feeling under the weather but still rocked it with some fun help from Mommy. He’s a busy cruiser according to his Mama, but since he wasn’t at 100%, he was more interested in sitting and relaxing. I’m glad I grabbed the car to give him something to enjoy! We captured his shots first to make sure he was in the best mood possible. Then we got some fun images of […]

Prairie Center Family Photos | McCutcheon Family

I love being outdoors in nature. So Prairie Center calls to me. I knew the first time I ever saw it that it would be an amazing place for photos. I love shooting there. This awesome family came out in the summer evening, when it was still blazing hot, to capture some great images! I attempted to give them some breaks from the sun and heat here and there. They were great sports as we navigated the beautiful prairie. I loved having the buildings to use as backdrops as well as some shade here and there. They also created a […]
