Burr Oak Woods Maternity Session

I haven’t done a maternity session for a while and had forgotten how much fun they were! This one was extra special because this was the 4th major milestone that I captured for this beautiful “mama-to-be”! I first met Hannah back in 2015 when her parents reached out to schedule her High School Senior Session. I absolutely loved working with her family so I was super excited when I got to do her brother’s Senior Photos a couple of years later. The next time I heard from Hannah she was engaged! I was honored to do her and Michael’s engagement session followed by their wedding. It really hit me how special my job was getting to be a part of someone’s most precious memories in life when Hannah contacted me to let me know she was expecting though. Besides making me feel kind of old 🤣….it made me feel incredibly blessed and honored. Can’t wait to meet baby O!

Beverly’s Spring Session

Today’s Blog post is brought to you by the letter “B” (please tell me I’m not the only one old enough to remember this). Anyway, Beautiful Beverly is a Ballerina who loves Barbies. Her mom took advantage of a great Bargain and booked a weeknight early spring session, which happen to be on sale for the month of March.

Beverly was a DREAM to work with. I sometimes forget that 5 year olds usually take instructions for posing very literally until I ask them to do something like look into my camera and they come running up to me to peek into my lens, but Beverly understood each and every assignment that I dished out to her and was a complete natural in front of my camera. I had so much fun working with her and think her entire gallery is Breathtaking!

SUPER(Bowl) Senior Session!

Super Bowl Sunday was a BIG day in Kansas City and a BUSY day for Heather Neal Photography! I started the day with a Newborn Session at the studio, then headed straight to Burr Oak Woods for an engagement session in the forest and then I was off to Downtown KC for this SUPER Senior Session! We fit a lot into this hour session including several outfit changes and LOTS of walking! It all paid off with lots of gorgeous photos of this pretty senior and a CHIEFS win!

Engagement Session at Burr Oak Woods

Last month Mother Nature tried to kill us all here in Kansas City with sub-zero temps, snow and ice. I think she feels bad so she has been giving us Spring and Summer weather in February, which works out great for photographers and clients that don’t want to wait for outdoor sessions! 😎 It was a lot of fun hanging out in the woods with this little family on Super Bowl Sunday before the big game!

Baby Cash

Story time! In 1997, a year after moving to Kansas City, I started working for an Orthodontist in Lee’s Summit. I was so fortunate to meet a wonderful group of ladies who became not only my co-workers and friends, but also like family since I had moved far from home. One of these ladies had an adorable baby boy who I watched grow up through the years. This weekend I was so honored to take some newborn photos of HIS adorable baby boy and beautiful little family. While it makes me feel pretty old, it’s worth it to get to catch up with old friends and capture these precious memories for them.
