Before and After - Teen pictures - Editing with Photoshop - Kansas City Teen Photographer

As a Kansas City teen photographer, I am always taking workshops and courses to improve my Photoshop skills.  You never know when a client's favorite picture is going to be underexposed, overexposed, or just need a little magic.  I LOVED taking Katie's teen pictures.  She's a doll. 
When her mom selected the "before" picture as a favorite, I wasn't worried at all.  I worked a little Photoshop magic... and ta-da... you can see just how beautiful Katie is. 

Family Pictures - Lee's Summit Family Photographer - Waterfall Park

As a Lee's Summit family photographer, I love taking pictures of adorable babies and super cute families.  I had so much fun taking pictures of this sweet little girl and her mom and dad.  Taking family pictures should be easy and really showcase your family's personality.  We took these pictures at Waterfall Park in Independence.  There are so many wonderful locations for family pictures in the Lee's summit, independence, and blue springs area.  Here are a few of my favorite family pictures from my family photography session.

Plaza Proposal - Kansas City Proposal Photographer - Country Club Plaza

I love being a Kansas City Photographer (actually a Lee's Summit photographer), and I've been taking photographs in Kansas City for years.  But I had never had the opportunity to take photographs of a surprise proposal.  When Cameron contacted me about photographing his proposal, I was so incredibly excited.  We planned everything out.  All I had to do was wait.  The day of the proposal, I was so nervous.  Here are a few pictures from the proposal.  Her reaction was perfect.  Everything went perfect.

These Lee's Summit family photos were taken when things were kind of "dull" and "dreary" outside.  But with a little editing from photoshop, the colors really pop:

Ramie Second Session - Overland Park Senior Pictures - Prairie Fire Museum Senior Pictures

As a Lee's Summit senior photographer, I love taking senior pictures.  What makes taking senior pictures even better... when I get to photograph a senior who is incredibly comfortable in front of the camera.  Here's Ramie... she has super cute clothes; she's sweet as can be; and she's absolutely beautiful.  For Ramie's first session, we took senior pictures in Mission, Kansas.  But this time, we took senior pictures at Prairie Fire Museum in Overland Park.  Here are a few of my favorites from her Overland Park senior pictures photo session:

Before and After - Editing Pictures with Photoshop

Sometimes I think it's super fun to show just how important it is to find a photographer who knows how to use Photoshop to edit pictures.  Now... I'm not going to claim that I know everything, or even claim to be an expert in Photoshop.  But I am constantly taking classes to improve my editing skills and to grow as a photographer.  Here's a before and after of the beautiful Kenzie.  Check out how a little editing can really make a photograph pop. 
 

Kenzie Sweet 16 Session - Raymore Teen Photographer

I'm sure no one will believe me... but Kenzie is only 16 years old.  Isn't she absolutely beautiful?  I've decided to start offering Sweet 16 photo packages... and photographing Kenzie was a fantastic way to kick off my new picture packages!!  Here are just a few of my favorites from her session.  We took these awesome photographs in Pleasant Hill, Missouri.

Addleman Family Pictures - Lee's Summit Family Photographer

As a Lee's Summit family photographer, I love photographing fun families.  This family is amazing.  The dad is super funny.  The mom is one of the nicest people I've ever met.  And the two kids are absolute rockstars.  I love the smiling pictures.  I love the serious pictures.  I think I love every picture from this family photography session. 

Brayden Senior Session - Pleasant Hill Senior Pictures - Senior Photographer

Brayden was so much fun to photograph!!  As a Pleasant Hill Senior Photographer, I love meeting new people and going to new locations.  Pleasant Hill senior pictures are so much fun.  Everything has a little bit of a rustic feel to it.  Here is my absolute favorite senior picture of Brayden. 

Sarah Senior Session - Ray Pec Senior Photographer - Raymore Senior Pictures

As a Raymore Senior Photographer, I love photographing Ray Pec Seniors.  Sarah was SO much fun to photograph.  She's absolutely gorgeous.  Her clothes were adorable.  And she had Kansas City team spirit with her super cute Royals shirt. 

Blake Senior Session - Kansas City Senior Guy Photographer - Lee's Summit Photographer

I have come to realize that I love photographing senior guys.  I don't think they ever start out really excited about their session.  But as a Lee's Summit senior photographer, I love making every senior feel good about themselves.  These photos were taken at Railroad Park in Blue Springs, MO.  This senior photo with the aviator glasses is my absolute favorite.
