I hope everyone is staying warm here in KC! I am about to set up my studio for tomorrow’s newborn  session but wanted to share a blog post first.

We had a fun weekend and checked out a few new-to-us businesses. On Friday we celebrated my birthday and also my hubby’s birthday, he is 2 days older than me. We went out to J Gilbert’s for dinner and it was soooo good! I highly recommend it. They even send you a $25 coupon for your birthday if you sign up for thier email list, score! It was the first night of restaurant week so we got to enjoy the pre-fix menu. The crab bisque is to die for. A big thanks to my hair dresser/client with baby #3 on the way who recommended it. Then we went to Top Golf. My husband went to the one in Phoenix while he was there on business and has been wanting to check out the one they just built here since it opened. We finally were able to make it and it was so cool! I am not a golfer but I was still having fun. In fact I was doing better than my hubby, lol. It is set up kinds like bowling but your driving golf balls, so it is great to do with friends. It was a COLD night but they heat the decks well. It was an awesome date night out!  The rest of the weekend was the usual stuff of chores, grocery shopping, editing and shot one session. Then since the kids were off of school today for Martin Luther King day I took them to check out Urban Air in Overland Park. They had a blast! I even ran into a couple moms and their little ones that I have been photographing for a couple years now. I always love seeing clients outside of work.  🙂

Ok, now about the session I am sharing…I love all the white and lightness to this newborn baby girl session from this past summer. The white, light grey and light pink all look so pretty with beautiful little Caroline. She slept great for me!!

Sharing a gorgeous fall full maternity session from 2014. I had first met this family the previous fall for a family session then got to see them again for a maternity and newborn session. I love getting to meet parents before the newborn session to get to know them a little better before they come in often sleep deprived with their brand new baby.

Happy Friday!

I have been getting a lot of inquiries to book sessions since the holidays are over and everyone is getting back into their schedules. Please be sure you book early to guarantee a spot in my calendar since some months fill up fast. This goes for all baby planners too. PLEASE be sure to read all the info provided here on my blog regarding sessions and pricing. Most questions can be easily answered by reading through the info. I try to keep it as short as possible, but still cover most general questions. Just click on the type of session you are interested in and scroll down to see all info provided. I know I am just as bad as everyone else, lol, always in a rush. 🙂

Here is the page with all the session info links – http://www.swadestudiosphotography.com/?page_id=495

Today will be a much needed editing day for me. First day the kids are in school and no session. I wanted to do a blog share before I start editing since I needed a little boy posted, the last several have been girls. Little Andrew was baby boy #2 I got to photograph for this sweet family. So cute!!

Happy New Year!! 2016 is here. Do you have some goals set for the year? I do, and hope to reach more of them this year. One big goal for us for 2015 was to buy a home and I feel blessed that we were able to do that! One of my 2016 goals include the usual – lose some weight, lol, diet started today. I started a diet in September and it was great until I just did not have the time to keep it up. The beginning of the year is slower so I have no excuses. I also have several other personal and business goals to reach. 🙂 It will be a great year!

My kids are heading back to school tomorrow so it will be time to bunker down and get busy!!

Sharing a cutie from last winter, this was her first birthday session-

2015 is coming to an end and what a crazy year it was. I am looking forward to getting off to a fresh start for 2016 and seeing what the year brings our way. I will be doing lots of website updates over the next few weeks, can’t wait to get it all done. 🙂

I wanted to share a first birthday studio session from early 2015. Since the outdoor season has come to an end and the studio season has began I will be sharing some indoor shoots to show more of what is done for a full studio session. Little Nora was on my Swade Sprouts plan and it was great watching her grow up over that year. Love her beautiful eyes and those pigtails!!
