Whoever said Batman doesn't fly -- MudPies & PixieDust Photography

Doesn't know what they're talking about because I happen to know he can! If you've followed us over on the family blog you already know I have a Batman series that I've been compiling. So of course when I was piddling around one of my fave sites and came across this genius set-up I was all sorts of excited to give it my own twist as it compliments our chalk collection perfectly too!!

Carry on my little super-hero, carry on!!



and not to be left out....baby super hero;)

They're back!! -- MudPies & PixieDust Photography

They're baaaaaaaack....as in this is not our first, not our second, not even third but FIFTH session together! With Mr. C now 4 and Ms. E 2, we figured they were the perfect age to embark on an urban safari;) Explore and play.....oh yes we did! (And while I've got his attention, I'd like to take this opportunity to once again thank kiddo's dad for writing my full name and number on the wall in an effort to aid the police in their investigation for the parties responsible for the 'artwork'. I owe you one....just wait!)

Sweet Blue-Eyed Boy -- MudPies & PixieDust Photography

I love how with so many of the families I meet, though initially they begin as 'clients' by the end of our time, it no longer feels appropriate to use that term as I certainly consider them so much more. Indeed friends!! Such was the case yet again!

Remember that day back in May when everyone was a buzz because the world was supposed to end? Yeah, well I can tell you it didn't and instead I got to spend the afternoon with this cool family of 3!! ;) Our mission? To capture real life - their life. We enjoyed a laid back afternoon in their home where I was able to peek into their world and share in some of little guy's favorite toys, activities, and songs. (Yes, at one point I did join in the singing......part way through I realized everyone else had stopped and I was the solo act. Pretty sure I embarrassed myself horribly but they were kind enough not to point out that I should stick with my day job). Doesn't B have the brightest blue eyes??? Between those and that sweet smile it's no wonder mommy and daddy are wrapped so tightly around every single one of those tiny fingers!

Featured {Kiddo} - MudPies & PixieDust Photography

Oh my goodness this session was a blast! Granted, it's already turned unseasonably warm here in Kansas City and the afternoon of our session was no exception. By the time it was said and done I looked like I'd run a 1/2 marathon, but boy oh boy did we have lots of fun! 3 year old J is quite the speedy fellow, but I came prepared with more than a few tricks up my sleeve. Don't be surprised if sometime in the near future you open your mailbox to find the latest Pottery Barn Kids catalog with Mr. J on the
cover. ;)

So great meeting you three and looking forward to seeing you again this fall!

Special session with Grandma!! --MudPies & PixieDust Photography / Kansas City child photographer

Allright, well its about time I start playing a little catch up and posting some images from recent sessions don't you think?

Earlier this spring C & E's mom inquired about the possibility of doing a special session with the kiddos and grandma. A couple bouts of sickness and rain re-schedule later, we finally met up a on what was yet another hot, hot, hot summer evening. (You know it's hot when you stand up and look down to see sweat marks on the concrete where you've been sitting. Ick!! LOL). You guys were total troopers!!

What to Wear {Boys} -- MudPies & PixieDust Photography / Kansas City children photographer

As I earlier posted several spring-time clothing suggestions for the girls, it's due time we give the boys a little attention; so here's some fun examples to get you thinking about possibilities for your littlest guy!

Doesn't get any better! -- MudPies & PixieDust Photography / Kansas City portrait photographer

Had the pleasure of meeting up with the 'H' family recently. Mommy (quite the fashionista herself; LOVE that coral dress!!) did a fabulous job styling the family and accessorizing Ms. C in the cutest outfits! Want to know the BEST part? They're just as nice as they are photogenic!

Favorite!! -- Kansas City child photographer

Working to wrap a special project & came across this little 'treasure'. This is one of those mommy moments that I'm sure we all can relate to and cherish.....hence why it goes down in my books as one of my all-time favorite images too;)

Speaking of pretty sisters -- Kansas City child photographer

I mentioned in an earlier post that Ms. 'W' was joining two other sisters, all of whom inherited some pretty amazing genes (obviously!) Hopefully one day soon we'll be able to meet up for a special session dedicated entirely to YOU Ms. A!!!

Another one of my newborns turning 1!! --Kansas City child photographer

Got to spend some time with Ms. E for a special 'cake smash' session....she didn't hesitate in the least to dig right in! Thanks to grandma for the yummy 'mini' cake that even coordinated with her cute accessories! ;)
