I could feel the winter blues slip away during this spring family session with the Patzkowsky family! Meadowbrook park was the perfect Kansas backdrop for our early spring session and I really loved capturing their young and energetic connection.

The last of the sunlight drenched the tall grasses and rolling hills and created the most beautiful soft light for our shoot! I love spring sessions as you see the earth come alive again and signal a fresh start! Spring family portraits are an excellent way to capture these moments. If you think fall is the best time for family photos, don’t sleep on Spring and Summer! Often times, you have the location to yourself, the temps are still cool in the spring. The flowers start to bloom quickly so consider booking spring family portraits to avoid the crowds. Thank you Patzkowsky family for a lovely session, I truly enjoyed getting to know your sweet family and capturing your spring family portraits!

Late summer shoots filled with wild sunflowers and the most laid back, adorable family…yes please! I loved getting to capture this lovely family of 5 during their Kansas wildflower session. These 3 boys made things interesting but they were so captivated by all the buzzing insects around the flowers and I loved capturing their curiosity.

These might be some of my favorite sun drenched photos with all the flowers and genuine connections shared between this family. It’s not always easy for parents to just let their kids run, play with bugs and be free during a photo shoot because you have an idea in your mind about how a shoot should look. However, when families can allow themselves the space and freedom to play and have fun during a session, like this one, it always generates the most genuine and heartfelt images.

I especially love the sun drenched photos with the youngest son and his mom and or the 2 older boys running through the sunflowers. These are the moments you will remember and the facial expressions you want to engraved in your memory. Thank you Sweeney family for a wonderful Kansas wildflower session, I truly loved getting to capture your family!
