Another gorgeous little guy {Kansas City Newborn Photographer}

Gosh I love newborns....they are so sweet and soft..they smell so yummy! I am sure my clients sometimes wonder why I smell their babies, LOL I love the smell of their baby-ness...and every Mommy knows what I am talking about (Daddies think I'm weird I suspect).

This is the newest addition to one of my fave couples...they are so excited, its just contagious to be around them! And Baby E. was such a cooperative little one..I've had a string of totally sleepy bendy newborns....totally been able to play to my hearts content!

Thanks again for letting me knit for, photograph (and sniff) sweet Baby E.! I cant wait to see you all again soon!

Studio Family Portraits {Kansas City Family Photographer Susan H. Robichaud}

I do a lot of family portraits (esp this time of year!)....but I have really seen an increase in the number of families choosing to have their portraits made in the Studio this year. I absolutely love it, because it gives thr family a chance to have something "different" than everybody else has. Most family portraits these days are done outdoors (and dont get me wrong, I love doing those, too).

But there is something to be said about having the perfect lighting ratios, LOL

So when you are ready to book YOUR family portrait, dont dismiss the idea of having your portraits made IN the Studio this year...be unique! (and be warm, its like 30 degrees out there!)...

Another Mystery Session {Kansas City Child Photographer}

This was one of the Mystery Sessions that I did over the summer....hard to believe but it was SO hot and sticky on this evening, the mosquitoes were eating us alive and I sent Mom on an errand 5 minutes before we started to go get balloons.

But depsite all of that, we had a great time, got great images and I only needed calamine lotion for about 2 days.....not too shabby...

Just in Time for the Holidays {Kansas City Child Photographer}

Are you looking for a darling gift for you spouse, your Mom, your sister or yourself? Something they will love and treasure, but something that doesnt have to come in a little blue box (thats a Tiffany's reference, lol)....

Here to the rescue is the newest, most fun and most adorable line of Portrait Jewelry I have seen in ages!

necklaces, bracelets, charms and key rings (cant leave Dad out!) have arrived at Robichaud Photography!

Made right here in Kansas City, these sweet reminders of your little loves can be ordered as of today from the Studio.

If you have had a session in 2009 and would like to order a piece, just give me a call or email and I can take care of that for you! I will be sporting my own new necklace early next week, so be sure to stop me to see it!

Its been raining Bellies around here... {Kansas City Maternity Photographer}

My friend Dena asked me last night when we were on the phone "Why havent you posted any new images on your Blog? I know you are busy as all get out"....and I thought about it. I have totally been neglecting my Blog in favor of Facebook and Twitter. Thats not good (although if you join me on Facebook and Twitter, its true, you will see a more active page than this Blog).

Anyway, yes, swamped here at the Studio, getting ready for the Halloween Bash, Christmas, just finished the Fall Family Mini Sessions.....and so many maternities lately....more in the past month than I did in the first half of the year!

I thought I would share some of my favorites....and forgive me for neglecting you, my Blogger friends!!

Let's Go Chiefs! {Kansas City Child and Family Photographer}

Yesterday I finally met a celebrity....an honest to goodness NFL player....Kansas City Chief's Tight End, Sean Ryan.

Sean came out to the downtown library to kick off the Junior League of Kansas City, MO's Hooked on Books campaign. Sean is the new spokesperson from the Chiefs for the Hooked on Books collection.

The Hooked on Books campaign is starting its 12th year and runs Sept 29-Oct 31, 2009. The program gathers new or gently used books for KC-metro kids who might not otherwise have access to books at home. Over 800, 000 books have been collected and given to children by the program.

I was invited to this event by the Junior League of Kansas City, Mo, and was so inspired by the League members, Sean and the Chiefs and the kids who were present, that I have set up a drop-off for YOUR new or gently used books here at the Studio. I will collect the books through Oct 25 (can bring them to the Halloween Bash!) and deliver them to the Junior League after that date.

So, lets show the Chiefs that the Northland is behind them! Bring me your books!
