We're going to backtrack a little for today's post. The Welhoff shoot was done about a month ago as a Christmas surprise for their grandma and grandpa. Despite the cold weather and huge wind gusts, it was a success. Now that Christmas is over and the secret can't be ruined, it's time to share some of our favorites from the session.

Every once in a while we're fortunate enough to be presented with the opportunity to give back. Sometimes it's a fundraiser auction, or something like our recent Christmas giveaway. Each of these times, we're rewarded with a warm feeling inside and several thank yous. Often, in fact, another reward shows up later in the form of bookings or sudden good fortune. I think that's what they call paying it forward.

As our church is redecorating the foyer, we were recently approached about providing pictures of the Pastors and their families. The reward for the Skeen's family pictures was instantaneous as we were blessed enough to come away with some fantastic pictures of this beautiful family for our portfolio (not to mention the McDonalds).

I had the opportunity to take family pictures of a sorority sister and her beautiful family. We've never had a baby as cooperative as baby 'N'. He shared his bright, shining eyes with us almost the entire session. Here are a few of our favorites:

This week, we did a Christmas shot for one of Expressions' favorite subjects - my nephew, Carter. We may be a little partial, but have you ever seen a cuter Santa?




Yes, this next one is exactly what it looks like...we are training him for the 2026 Kansas Jayhawks...wait, did that make anyone else feel old?
These next three illustrate why we chose our name...Expressions... During every shoot we really try to let your baby (or child, or family) be who they really are...because you don't want to look back at a picture 10 years from now and see one just like the one every one has...you want to see your child...and their expressions...
