Click Photography

Whoops! I just realized today that I completely forgot to make one last post on the old blogger Blog to let everyone know I have moved on...to another blog.
www.clickphotographykc.com/blog
I've been working on the new one for a couple weeks now and just got so focused on getting it up and running, that I neglected my old blog.

Anyway, definitely check it out and RSS/subscribe to it if you want to stay current on posts.

For family and friends, I had also created a personal blog.
www.clickphotographykc.com/life

I decided to divide the blogs (business/personal) because I don't always have time to glamorize my personal everyday images but don't exactly feel comfortable showing them off on my blog for clients and all to see and think "ek, those pictures look like crap".

Not to say my personal life images are crap...they just are a raw photojournalistic approach. ;)

Check 'em both out. Thanks everyone!

Finally...some better weather! Just in time for Natalynn's 4th birthday! Don't these pictures just make you happy and excited for Spring?

The long cold winter has forced me to look forward to artificial sunshine. [Enters Lacey & Al]

Maternity sessions are always fairly tricky for me because I love to get creative and do something unique for every one in front of my camera...and given the temperature outside, even more limitations are applied. In tossing around ideas with Lacey, I got this picture in my head and I had to try and unleash it. Thank to Lacey and Al, I'm quite happy with the shot. I still need a kick @$$ title for it (something like "He's coming! Read all about it!), so if you got ideas...share 'em.




These last two were just us goofing around and I found them to be quite hysterical. This first one is Al and his super-excitedness of becoming a new Dad. FYI: Those toy cars and baseball cards are his childhood treasures.

This one is us having some fun with "Big Al" (some of you might remember seeing "Big Al" on display at the last Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal show).

Lacey, you make such a cute, happy prego. Congrats!

Last week I was asked to photograph Shabby Hattie's Tea Room in Parkville. I'm actually very ashamed that I've lived in Parkville, MO this long and really never explored the historic downtown area. This place is truly awesome in every way. If you get the chance to visit Parkville, make sure to stop in for a delicious snack and cup of tea.
