We had the pleasure of shooting the Maxwell family this past weekend as the first of our family sessions in October. While we did take the typical structured family and individual poses, we wanted to show something a little more entertaining. Thankfully, they cooperated. From a really fun family, here are some really fun pictures:

You know how men do one thing around the house and want credit for it, even if the their wife has done ten others that day? Well, I'm no different. We told you in our last posting that this was our first Class of 2009 session where both Sarah and I took pictures...I just wanted to get a few of mine on here (with my thoughts):

I'm really proud of this first one. Either she should be a model for Urban Outfitters or I should be a photographer for them...or both.
Sarah did an awesome edit to this one, and added a fantastic texture, making it awesomely fantastic.
More edits and textures from Sarah. Can you believe this one almost didn't make the top 80?
Okay, more of me pandering for credit...Not only is this my picture, but the pose was my idea too.In all seriousness, I recognize my lack of talent in comparison to Sarah hence the 10 to 1 chores reference. I was just really proud of these and wanted to share.

We were a little late in taking this year's birthday pictures and even more late in posting them. Thankfully, we've been too busy with clients to work on our own pictures, senior season is here!

One month ago today Deuce turned 7, and nine days later his sister Kaitlyn turned 9. Here are few pictures from their birthday shoot:







In other news we're getting closer to the holiday season and we are excited about the Christmas special we're getting ready to announce. If you're already on the mailing list, you can look for the special the first week of October. If not, email us at expressionskc@gmail.com and we'll add you to the distribution list.

After several weeks of newborn shoots, we had our first senior of the 2009 class this weekend...lots of outfits, lots of expressions, and lots of fun. Here is a small sampling (they were hard to narrow down!):

Emily Elizabeth Hankins arrived Jul 20 and this week we were lucky enough to take her pictures. While she didn't seem thrilled with the idea at first, we think she warmed up enough to take so really sweet pictures...especially when Mommy or Daddy was holding her.

We've finally discovered that blogs don't write themselves, and with that discovery comes a new commitment to blogging. We intended on starting this blog as a way to both show our work and share our passion and last week's shoot of beautiful new Baby Anna gives us an opportunity to do both. Thank you to Anna for your beautiful eyes, and the inspiration to start this blog again. To the Tews, thank you both for sharing your house with us and letting us help capture the first weeks of your little lady's life. With that, here are a few pictures to hold them over until the proofing process is complete:
