Wordless Wednesday

Olivia Reads a Book -- Northeast Kansas Children's Photographer

I have to admit....I don't know much about the children's book character, Olivia.  But my interest is sparked now.  Does she wear slippers all the time?  And what is she doing with the babies?

Not to mention, the storyteller did a great job of setting the story up for me. :)

Hard to believe she's four already!

Thanks for the story, and playing with me at the playground! :)  Be sure to "like" the WischDesigns Facebook page to see the rest of the previews.

Happy Mother's Day Weekend -- Northeast Kansas Maternity Photographer

I was never lucky enough to be pregnant on the same schedule as my friends, but if I was, I would like to think we could have this much fun together!

Just a quick sneak peek for these two moms.  Don't they have the cutest cravings? 

Be sure to "like" the WischDesigns Facebook page to share your pregnancy cravings.  Maybe you or someone you know craved something other than pickles and ice cream?  :)

Best of Brothers -- Kansas Family Photographer

These two are the cutest of brothers!

We found a little mud and they didn't even get in it!  Not that they didn't want too. :)

I can't believe Porter didn't get in any shots!  That cat was always on the wrong side of the camera! :) 

Such a sweet family.  Thanks for having me out!  Be sure to "like" the WischDesigns Facebook page to see more previews. 

Good News! -- Kansas Newborn Photographer

If you don't think babies are like missionaries sent from another land to share God's love, I'd like to sit down and chat with you for a few minutes.

Those adorable, sweet feet bring hope, joy, and the promise of new life.  This little guy cracked my heart open the minute I saw him.

Many prayers for him and his families.  He's had a rough start, but he's bound and determined to share God's love with those sweet feet! :)

Patriotic Wordless Wednesday

Kindergarten Up Ahead! -- Kansas Children's Photographer

This little man had me in stitches.  He might be the only five year old I know that is full of one liners! ;)

Hard to believe he'll be going to the big K next year!

Hope the party was a blast!  Happy Birthday!

If You Hate Cancer.....

...then you're going to like this.

When I was 17, I lost my dad to colon cancer.  That's not exactly how a girl wants to spend her Senior year of high school. 

I hate that he never met my husband or that my children will never know their grandpa. But there's nothing I can do to change that.

There is, however, something I can do to help prevent that from happening to others.

In honor of my father, I'm hosting Hope For A Cure Mini Sessions. 100% of sitting fees will be going to area Relay For Life events.  There's a special invitation for cancer survivors in that I'll be covering the $25 sitting fee.  It's not "free", because I still want the money to go to local cancer support, but it's no cost to survivors.

Like Miss Emily. She's a survivor of epic proportions. No one should ever have to go through what she had to go through. 

At the innocent age of seven, she mustered everything she had in her & kicked cancer in the gut. Yay Emily!! And, thanks girlie, for being my amazing model. ;-)

If you have been affected by cancer through a loved one, please feel free to bring items or photos of those that you may have lost to cancer.  Being able to honor your loved ones this way may help others to hold onto their loved ones a little longer.   

Mini Sessions are $25 for around 20 minutes of shooting, and you'll end up with 10-15 on-line proofs.  There are no paper proofs for Mini Sessions. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  You can email me at wischdesigns (at) rainbowtel (dot) net, message via the WischDesigns Facebook page, or call or text at 785-548-5735. 

 

Well Deserved -- Kansas Retirement Photographer

I sit in my little house in the corner of my little state.  I choose the job I want to work at and the church I want to pray at.  I'm free to go to the doctor that I prefer.  And sometimes I take all of that for granted.  But after today, I realize how much is sacrificed and how grateful am I.

Meet Lt. Col. Valieant.  He's retiring from the Army.  Interestingly enough, he was born at Fort Leavenworth.  So, he technically began and ended his Army career in the same place. :)

Seeing his friends and family and watching everyone interact made me realize just how many sacrifices are made. 

He comes by it naturally.  His father and grandfather also served in the Army.  Isn't that a great set of photos?!

So, thank you to Lt. Col. Valieant.  Thank you to his friends, parents, and his wife and children.
