ABOUT ME: The "about me" section is so difficult to write. How do you describe yourself in text when you are an utterly visual person?

FAVORITE THINGS:

I love being around people. I love antiquing and going to estate sales. (So many vintage treasures have yet to be found and chalk-painted)

My favorite thing to do is to travel with my family to the same places or new places. Just all of the places!

I love music. My toddler clients appreciate my nursery rhyme repertoire sang in a lyric soprano style.

HOW I BEGAN MY PHOTOGRAPHY CAREER

I have been a Kansas City newborn photographer as well as maternity, child, and family photographer for over thirteen years. Captures in Time Photography began in 2007, though my photography career started in 2002 with product photography. I have a gentle touch and infinite patience with little ones.

HOW I GET GREAT EXPRESSIONS FROM YOUR CHILD

I believe that the more a child's photography session feels like a playdate, the better the images will be! My style as a photographer is more soulful than cheesy smiles. I don't say, "Say cheese!" or tell them to smile. I MAKE them smile.

The goal is to ensure that each individual's natural expressions and personality will transfer to your portraits.
