My attempt at fashion photography

I never shoot people- unless they are under three feet tall :o) Me thinks I need more practice working with models, I have no idea what to do with them! I will say the blond model was awesome and never stopped posing. I guess it's true that models DO work and aren't just a pretty face for the camera.

(why is this one so small???)

9 months old

Our little monkey is 9 months old! Well, actually he's technically 9.5 months old, but who's counting? It was SO nice outside this past weekend so we packed up and went out for an adventure. First we made a stop at the KC Power & Light district for some lunch at ChefBurger (yum!). Next we went to Raglan Road to enjoy a beer on the patio which was fun- Todd had a Blvd. Wheat while I savored the yummy goodness of a Stella Artois. The we decided to check out the new hyped up Cosentino's grocery store downtown- we were not disappointed! This place has everything- sushi bar, nice deli, wine & cheese samplings, gourmet pizza, a chocolatier...the list goes on and on. I had one piece of chocolate (caramelized banana) and it was as good as it was pretty! After we walked around a bit and sampled some wine and had a treat, we headed off to Loose Park to take Jake's 9 month pictures. It was a really windy day and he had a hard time keeping his eyes open against the sun and wind, but I managed to get a few decent shots of him. He has a bit of a cold left over from a week ago so we tried to make our visit short and sweet. I can't believe he's going to be one year old soon...

Reid's Birthday Party

My nephew Reid recently had his 5th birthday at Emerald City. It was a really fun day and the kids all had a blast! This place is pretty cool, I wish they had Adult Day so I could go and play!

The Birthday Boy!
