The weather looks to be beautiful this weekend! Because it will be chilly in the mornings, I've moved everyone to the evening slots and opened up Sunday evening, as well. 🍂
I'm waiting until the last minute to pick the perfect location for the most beautiful colors, but don't wait to get on my calendar. The remaining slots will go very quickly!

Let's go! 📸

Happy National Coming Out Day! 🏳️‍🌈

At Little Leapling Photography, love, kindness, and inclusion are at the core of everything I do.

I am proud to advocate for all families, parents, and children. Every family structure is beautiful, every path to parenthood is worth celebrating, and every child deserves to grow up knowing they are embraced for exactly who they are.

My studio and sessions are always a safe, welcoming place where you and your loved ones can simply be yourselves and create lasting memories together.

Sending so much love and support to our LGBTQ+ community today and every day! 🌿🤍

Congratulations to the Millard Family who won the two free tickets to the KC Renaissance Festival! Thank you to Brian at for donating the tickets!

I'm working on a fun blog post with helpful information if you plan to go to the festival along with plenty of photography tips, and of course, loads of awesome pictures from last weekend. Check back soon!

I'm starting to think we just aren't going to get the prettiest foliage this year.
But, that's okay!
We can embrace the greenery, I can edit your photos to feature Autumn colors (like in my recent post), or we can change things up and include more urban backdrops.

These photos of one of my most favorite families were taken on campus on Friday, but we can also go to Aggieville or Poyntz for a totally different take on your family portraits.

As we get closer to the holidays, it's also fun to take indoor photos with your seasonal decor. We have lots of great options!

Reach out and we'll pick the perfect spot for your happy bunch!
And don't forget that my exclusive mini sessions will be on October 17th. 📸

Fall Minis are a GO! 📸

I've blocked off the morning and evening of Saturday, October 17th for exclusive Little Leapling minis! I only offer these high demand sessions roughly once every 3 years. And once the slots are filled, that's it!

Check the link in the comments for more details and to sign up. 🍂

And don't worry if the colors aren't popping. I can turn those greens into gorgeous autumn gold.

We'll probably only get a brief window of fall colors this year with how late the leaves are changing. I can fix that! But, I can't add leaves back on the trees after they drop. So, get on my calendar now and let's take some pretty pictures!

Don't miss out on these rare special opportunities to get the same great quality you've come to expect at a limited edition price!

Just in case you haven't gotten enough cat love from my page, we celebrated Siayti's first birthday yesterday!
My pet portrait packages aren't just for pups. I'm happy to come to you so that we can turn your cute kitties and other cherished critters into gorgeous wall art!

Kaia and I adopted Siayti as "Frankie" from Cattails last December, and she has been the best addition to our family! Wondering what her name means? Say it out loud slowly and give this post a giggle if you get it!
