Kansas City Zoo March 2012

Alan and I took the girls to the Kansas City Zoo yesterday.  The weather was beautiful and we recently bought a Friends of the Zoo family pass.  We had such a fun time with our girls and left the zoo happy but exhausted. Here's a few favorite photographs I took ( more of my little monkeys than of the zoos')

 oh look I made it in one of the pictures!!!

 Julia was most looking forward to feeding the lorikeets, but she looks a little scared once one landed on her arm.

 I know I took a ton of Alan holding Anna, his arms must have been exhausted but he never did complain:)

 who knew cotton candy could be this exciting to a 3 year old?

 of coarse our family found some "non-zoo" critters we tried to catch...little lizards, we were close but no captures!

 now it's time to pull Daddy in the wagon!

 Julia is a photographer too ya know.

 Anna's reaction to the tigers was "wow they are beautiful"

the new polar bear exhibit at the zoo is one of my favorites!

baby Cole

This was my second time to photograph baby Cole.  I met his family out at Unity Village last fall for what would have been 4 month pictures and now he is a big 9 months old and growing like a weed. He is such a precious boy with the most amazing blue eyes!   We decided to cut this session a little short as Cole was not a very happy camper but looking back on these photos you might not have guessed because we did catch a smile here and there:)  also, I like his serious expressions too!

Julia's spring break horse camp

Julia had the best week this week at Sunset Stables at Horse Camp. Here's some pictures I took this week of her at camp and a few at James A Reed where we went frog hunting.
