Lucy | 4-Month Session

RPeters — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 05:32:32 +0000

Oh Miss Lucy — you get cuter and cuter each time I see you! And this time you could smile at me…and share a giggle or two.
The day was HOT, but Lucy was a trooper. Traditionally the 4-month session is done at home, but Lucy already has had TWO sessions there! So it made sense to head outdoors. We found a park close to Daddy’s work, and had a fun and quick shoot during last week!

Enjoy her slideshow…Sarah I hope you like the song choice! (I have a feeling you will, since I saw your FB pictures!)

Austin | Newborn Session

RPeters — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 01:49:08 +0000

I remember the day that Christine and Chad were married like it was yesterday…and what a MODEL bride Christine was. Even with a broken foot and a boot, she was willing to walk all over some treacherous ground to get her images! Imagine how excited I was for them to hear they were expecting a baby boy…and he was ALL SMILES for me this day! The hundreds of expressions he had were just priceless, plus it was great fun just to catch-up with these two and see them as parents. Austin joined the Baby’s First Year program, so you will be seeing him again over the coming year…*fist bump*!

Riley B | 8-Month Session

RPeters — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 23:15:03 +0000

8-months has to be one of my FAVORITE ages to photograph little ones. They can sit up by themselves, but aren’t totally mobile yet! And they can react/respond to me (and my crazy animal noises) which make it extra fun. Riley finally had her first session outdoors, and it was a great success! Sister Sam took a little while to warm-up to me, but once she did she was a super-smiley girl. The next time I see Riley will be for her 1-Year…cannot wait to see her attach some cake!

Chase B | 1-Year Session

RPeters — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 22:17:22 +0000

Your first home has a special place in your heart. This family is leaving theirs for a new one this Summer, so they wanted the last session of Chase’s “Baby’s First Year” program to take place there…and I could not have agreed more! We really used spaces that had a lot of the home as a backdrop, and I am sure the kiddos (and parents!) will look back at these images with fond memories in the years to come! Hard to believe after his Newborn, 4-month and 8-month session…he is the grown toddler now!

Carson | Newborn Session

RPeters — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:58:16 +0000

There are many special things about what I do — several that I cannot really put into words. But being with people during the biggest milestones of their lives is an unbelievable honor. I am feeling very blessed today…

Marisa and Ryan were married back in April of 2009, and I was so excited for them when I read on Facebook they were expecting! Little Carson made it safely into this world, and I was ready with my camera. If you recall from their E-Session Ryan plays the guitar, so after he left to go to work Marisa asked to incorporate his guitar again as a little surprise for the new Daddy…so sweet! And Carson wore the little hat I made him like a champ — even though I felt bad covering up that sweet baby-hair.

the “S” Family

RPeters — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:06:09 +0000

I was more excited than usual for this particular family session…and you are about to see why.
I met Tracy about a year and a half ago, when she was a part of Jessica & Ryan’s wedding. When she first e-mailed me to say they were on a Summer Vacation, which included road-tripping through Kansas, I was thrilled! But it got even better than that…she had some ideas, and concepts to include with her shoot…FUN! Lots of people remember the photo shoot with Brad and Angelina (before they were a couple) in W Magazine. With lots of inspiration from that article, we trooped into my backyard at the end of the location-images. Tracy brought the pool and lounge chair, I provided the garden hose and beach ball…oh, and the camera! It was a BLAST!

Enjoy their slideshow here — especially the concept images at the end!!
Thank you Tracy for selecting ME to capture your wonderful family and style. Oh, and the scarf ROCKS…you were too sweet to let me have it!

Addison | Newborn Session

RPeters — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:35:20 +0000

Ashley contacted me early-on in her pregnancy, to ensure that her little girl would have a spot in my Baby’s First Year program — so I was very excited to finally meet her sweet Addison! The hair-dryer trick worked like a charm on Miss Addison, and she was like putty for all the spots/poses I put her in. And in Mommy’s arms, and in Daddy’s arms, and relaxing while big brother Joey read her a book…she was a little super model! I cannot wait to see her at 4-months — thank you Ashley!

Enjoy her slideshow here!

If you follow me on Twitter — you saw that I have a future “second-shooter” in the works!!

from Saturday…

…the elegant bride.

Eight portrait sessions are in the que for editing/blogging, plus this wedding. Lots more shoots this week too — stay tuned!

Megan + Tim | Wedding Day

RPeters — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 18:28:33 +0000

What an incredible wedding day for Megan & Tim…I am still reeling just thinking back to how much fun I had. Not only was I able to reconnect with many of my brides from the past, but these two put their complete trust in me. No question. And that kind of trust, I do not take lightly! I was free to capture things as I wanted, and that freedom has led to some of my favorite wedding images to date. I already have a canvas print of the stunning Megan in my office! I also discovered my favorite KC venue at this wedding…the Terrace on Grand (see vendor list below for link). An incredible space for an amazing party!

It was an absolute honor to work with your family again, and you all took such good care of me (complete with my own seat at a table for dinner!) I felt like a part of the day, not just a vendor.

Enjoy your wonderfully-LONG slideshow here!

Ellarie | Newborn Session

RPeters — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 21:25:35 +0000

Isn’t that one of the sweetest names? I absolutely love it…and after a quick feeding and diaper change, this girl was ready for the first session of her Baby’s First Year program! I have known Mom and Dad since — hmm, Junior High school? Thanks to the power of Facebook, they saw my work online and contacted me when they were expecting this adorable little girl! I cannot wait to see how much she changes over the coming year. Lots of sweet images coming at you!
