It's been in the high 90's and mid 100's for over a week now...
and this steamy couple might've had something to do with the extreme heat ;)

Love was made for me and you!

Please make note that my email address has changed. contact me at: AllieMcWillie@gmail.com or the good old fashioned was on my cell phone, 816-365-2204. This next phase of life is proving to be an exciting and interesting time for our family. With the arrival of our newest baby girl #3 in February, selling our midtown home of 20+ years in March, deciding to build our dream home in April, and temporarily moving into my parents house in May, I'm a little behind on my photography blog. But, don't be fooled, my camera's been clicking and capturing lots of little lives and love this spring. I hope to share some recent images soon. So, for now, I'm working on-location. That means I'd still love to take your photos, but not in a studio. Instead we can meet at any place you'd like. Urban settings, local parks, in the bottoms, downtown, your own backyard or favorite family hang out. Contact me to discuss options and set up the perfect session for you! I'm thrilled to announce that in the fall, I'll have a space in our new home dedicated to my studio photography. I hope to hear from you soon and enjoy these beautiful breezy spring days while they last.

Maternity Session

This beautiful lady is due in just 4 short weeks,
and she definitely has "the glow" of a first time expecting Mama!

She has a perfect little round bump and I love her tattoo!

...and it's a girl! Hang in there Mama, your princess will be here before you know it.

2 years old / Kansas City Child Photographer

This 2 year old big girl is so sassy. She's a little princess with
a stylish wardrobe. I wish I had her matching coat and boots, and looked a fraction
as cute! Mom and Dad sure love their snuggle bug! But who could resist?

She's full of giggles and squeals and a few screams. Hey, at least she knows what she wants,
and that's a good thing, right? Most 2 year olds have one thing in common.
They want to do everything by themselves, but only when it's their idea.

She's also a great little poser, especially when there's a sucker involved ;)

We had so much fun playing outside. I hope you got a good nap in, sleeping beauty.
I know I needed one :)

Thanks for spending the morning with me on such a beautiful day.
Enjoy your photos!

Child Photography / Kansas City Photographer

This little princess was a little shy, but knew all the right moves!

Dad had some moves of his own too, as he gladly ran back and forth behind me singing
his version of a scary Itsy Bitsy Spider, and playing peek-a-boo with his baby girl.
I love parents that are willing to act silly in front of a complete
stranger all for the glory of the grin of their little girl!

I'm thrilled to finally have a chance to meet this adorable family.
We've been rained out and heat advisory rescheduled several times this summer...
and this day turned out the be the most beautiful day we've had in months!

The combination of a super cute kiddo mastering her walking skills, and some super fun
parents, this photographer couldn't ask for more!

Thanks for playing and sharing your little princess with me. She's precious!

Happy 2nd Birthday Big Boy!

I love this adorable family! Another client since he was a newborn, the little guy, that is.

These boys look like they have as plan!

The Birthday boy, himself.

Could they get any cuter?
What you don't know is there's a dinosaur fight going on behind my back ;)

It was great seeing you all again last night.
Thanks for spending your birthday with me. I had fun, and I think you had some too!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

It's always wonderful seeing clients again! My favorite is from newborn session to a first birthday photo!
I love chatting with parents to see how the adventures of parenthood is treating them,
and capturing the love of the family on the first birthday milestone.
