“No, I’m serious! Today is National Dog Day!”

My goal?

For you to feel good about yourself.

Many say they want their headshot to convey approachability, friendliness, intelligence, trustworthiness, etc... We'll do that and we'll do it easily thanks to my posing and expression guidance. You know what else I'll do though? I'll give you that confidence boost that we ALL need, and then you'll get it again, and again, and again when people tell you how much they love your headshot. And you won't feel the list bit icky accepting those compliments because you'll know that photo is really and truly 100% YOU!

Don't rob yourself of that experience, friends. You deserve to feel good about yourself.

I realized it's been a while since I shared a batch of photos from the ! I just photographed 13 babies yesterday, and obviously haven't edited all of those yet, so here are some sweet moments from my July visit. 💜

Absolutely effortlessly beautiful, even in the midst of a Kansas City heatwave!

This precious family is so special to me. I first met them when I did big sister’s newborn photos 3 studios ago (any other photographers measure time in studios?)!

Forgot to record this using the green screen, so now you all know I just recorded this from my car… oh well! I guess that’s just authentic Helen coming through 😉

Yeah, I’m anti-AI in business because I’m in the business of being ME and when someone else can do it better or faster, I’m going to hire an actual person. You do you, though 😘

The most precious moments frozen for all of time, that’s why I’m here!

I’m launching 3/4 of my kids into their next step (career for one and college for the other two) and I find myself looking at pictures of the younger days with an even deeper appreciation. Life comes at you fast, friends!

If it’s been a few years, get that portrait session booked! You’ll never regret having more pictures of your family, kids, grandkids, pets…

Probably a solid idea to just stay inside and enjoy the AC today! While you’re sitting as close to a fan as possible, think about booking that fall portrait session 😉
Stay cool today, KC!

Class of 2027 - you’re up! Most choose to do their senior photos before the school starts, but truly you can do them any time. Whether you want to go all out and be a model for a day, or you will just tolerate a short session to appease your parents, I’ve got you!

Any time of year is the right time of year for updating your family portrait, but for those of you who just *must* have it happen in the fall, that part of the calendar is booking now! (Yes, even the highly coveted Fall Minis!)
