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!

On the TV this morning, I saw {Kansas City Newborn Photographer}

An interview on the Today Show with a baby photographer talking about Newborn Portraits. She said EVERYTHING I have been saying here in Kansas City for over 5 years....to get those newborns into the Studio when they are brand new!

I photograph my newborn clients within the first 7 days, when they are still super-sleepy and very bendy....so we can get images like this:

And "Anne Geddes"-inspired images like this:

And relationship images like this:

So , really, if you are pregnant and you want to capture the most fleeting time of your child's life, the first few days, call me NOW to get on the schedule!! Its NOT too early :)

I would love to give you images like these of YOUR new baby...before he or she changes in the blink of an eye....

Seniors are Back, Baby! {Kansas City High School Senior Photographer}

Ah, I love the end of summer.....why, you ask? Summer is so fun, lazy days next to the pool, Worlds of Fun, vacations and sleeping late....

Well, I love the end of summer because it brings me one of my fave things in the whole world: SENIORS!!! (no, not those AARP people...High School Seniors!!)

I love my Seniors, I seem to get the coolest, prettiest and most athletic....it must be b.c I'm the same way.....well, maybe not. They just have good taste in photography...and they know that their session with Robichaud Seniors Photography will be FUN, FRESH AND FANTASTIC! (I love alliteration...)

Anyway, here is my first beauty of the Season....we had tons o' fun!!
