Two best friend sessions in Kansas City?! Check and mark!
Heather and Jake had never had a formal family session… We remedied that Memorial Day weekend when we went to visit my hometown of Kansas City.
Olivia is a rockstar. She’s been in my life since she was 4 years old. Show’s now 9 and going into the FOURTH grade. So wild to see how much she’s changed! I remember when Heather called me and told me that she and Jake had decided to try for another… then I remember crying when she told me she was pregnant. 🙂 Now look at her! 😀
My favorite! ❗
HELLOOOOO HOT TAMALES! Oh, by the way… Heather has last over 30 lbs in the past 70 days. She is looking SO great! 
Olivia is the most beautiful 9 year old to have ever existed. Fact. 
Jillian is as beautiful as she is sweet. Mike was smitten! 
Heather, you look so beautiful!

What a beautiful family! And what beautiful light! You must be so proud of these photos!
It’s sooooooooo AMAZING to see a session of a friend, photographed by another friend! I wish we all lived a bit closer as I know we’d all have a ball together. Although I’d probably be the most quiet out of you two silly willies. BUT I do have to say I’m so happy to see these photographs. Such an ‘adorable. vibrant. goofy. free spirited. lucky to have two daughters’ family. (according to Casia)
One of the absolutely most beautiful and amazing families I have ever known! I can’t believe how grown up Olivia is and how more adorable Jillian gets all the time! Heather you look AMAZING…but I’ve always thought you were a beautiful person inside and out! You are blessed with such a beautiful family and I miss you all!!!
Hi Bobbi!!! I know how delighted I was to see these images, so I can only imagine how Heather felt!!!! Heather – you look amazing!!!!
Bobbi + Mikey….INCREDIBLE!! Heather, you look SO gorgeous, and that family of yours is beyond darling! 🙂

Oh oh oh!!!! I LOVE these! Wonderful work you two! Heather, so proud of you (I feel like I know you well for how much Bobbi talks about you!) in your weight loss journey! Way to go! And what a BEAUTIFUL family you have! Love seeing how different your girls are but both equally beautiful! Jillian’s brown peepers stole my heart!
