Charlotte Rose is the baby of our family.
Early this morning she crawled into bed with me and said, “Mama, I go to work with you.” And I looked over at my last baby with her chubby hands touching my face and I said the most logical thing:
“Of course.”
Let Calotype travel to your territory and take pictures!
(Pets are welcome at our place, but some are larger than others and it just makes sense to take the studio to the saddle horse).
These outdoor images honor the land that feeds our bodies with food- and the people that work hard to make it happen. Photographed in the late evening of early summer, in Barton County, Missouri;
For Mother’s Day, this momma made time for what she really wanted- photos of her children.
Do you have a photograph of you with each of your children?
PS: We pulled Dad in for a few at the end. The main focus was Mom and the kids, but the opportunity for an updated family photo was too good to pass up.
Dancers put so much time and work into what they do- why not have professional photos taken to celebrate? This young lady dances at Solomon’s Dance Studio in Neosho. Can you guess some of the dances these costumes belong to?
Photographed in the studio.
Party of five- and it’s always a party with these enthusiastic siblings. Photographed in the studio.
Three outfits, photographed in or around the studio.
Location: downtown Neosho, two blocks from the studio. Ending with some studio shots. One outfit, but the senior took the outer shirt off for a different look.
Location: the fire station, and a field personally scouted by the mom who knew exactly what she wanted. Photographed the first week of April, right before trees were leafy but when the spring wildflowers were starting to show. Time was between 6-7 PM so the Session ran right into twilight.
Photographed outside in the studio courtyard, with the second outfit inside the studio.
I have been photographing these clients since dad was a senior in high school! Then came a wedding, and a daughter- and another daughter… There’s at least one hilarious, true-life image- can you find it?
Three outfits, all in studio. Some formal, some fun, and some that make you feel good :)
Photographed at the falls in Joplin and in the studio, mid-March.
FYI- most senior boys do 1-2 outfits. It depends on the person, but I suggest something casual, something nice, and (if they’re willing to invest the attention) something related to their current interests. A Senior Session can last an hour, or only 20 minutes if they want to dash and go. When you call me, tell me a little about the senior’s personality so we can decide what approach works best.
Senior pictures are something you don’t want to miss out on.
Celebrate surviving your first year of parenting! They’re only this little once. Bring them in so you can remember how precious they are at this stage.
Plus, at this age they let YOU choose their outfits. Parents of older kids know what I mean.
DID YOU KNOW: If you book a Portrait Session during the month of the child’s birthday, I have a special gift for you? Just ask me when you call!
Double the trouble with two daughters…! Wish this dad some luck and enjoy these images from their Father/Daughter Portrait Session.
Did you miss the Father/Daughter event? Sign up for the Calotype email list to make sure you find out about future events!
My favorite (most effective) way to communicate with people is in real life- in person or by phone.
Second- my email list! It’s how I do model searches and studio specials, and occasionally it’s used for gathering opinions as I plan for future Calotype events. I LOVE asking people what they want and figuring out how to do it! I do use Instagram occasionally, but I’m better at communicating my thoughts by typing on a horizontal screen (my laptop). Is this because I was born in 1981? Using my thumbs on a tiny vertical screen leaves me… underwhelmed. Social media is usually the last place to know about what I’m doing at Calotype, which is supposedly a big NO NO according to *SoCiAl MeDiA ExPeRtS* but we shall see. I like to do what I like to do, and today Julie says the email list gets my attention. Sign up so we can discuss- I always respond back to your emails!
Time spent with our children is never a loss.

Holding Dad’s hand for the first image…
…but it didn’t take him long to warm up for the camera
Warm up complete!

Somebody just saw his Mommy looking through the window :)
This little guy’s face may look familiar on my journal. His parents are in our First Year Baby Club, and they have graciously allowed us to share many of his images. Their favorites from all six of his Sessions- newborn, six weeks, three, six, nine and twelve months will be collected onto one piece of canvas wall art for their wall. Keeping a heritage like this for your child is a precious gift to yourself and them. Call me and I’m happy to discuss our exclusive Baby Club options!
