Newborn Photography

Did you know that I have a studio located only 45 minute south of Overland Park... and not only will I treat you like part of the family when you get here, you will also have amazing photos of your new little bundle of joy that blow you away. I will capture all the tiny things, the newness of your little baby that will soon fade away as the days pass.

I would love to set up a time to talk and get to know each other... see if I would be the right photographer to cuddle your sweet tiny baby and create lasting art that you will cherish for the rest of your life.

The best time to talk about your newborn session is before you are 30 weeks pregnant so we can plan all the details. I am looking forward to meeting you!

Up close...

Hi Friend!

Thank you for clicking your way over here to learn a bit about me! I hope for you to get acquainted and possibly learn a thing or two about me!

I am what some would call an aspiring individual. I absolutely love photography and all it has done for me as a person. I have such a love for the art, I feel like I will be working to grow in my craft always.

I am from somewhat of a small town in Kansas and live what most would consider a modest life. I love what I do, but above all love my family. I spend most of my free time (what free time, right?) taking my three children to sporting activities after school and spending time with my husband. I am the epitome of a homebody, but I love to explore and get a major case of wanderlust if I go to long exploring new adventures in the city.

I am passionate, an endless optimist and  maybe a bit sensitive too. My lifestyle, my journey as a wife and mother has truly taken me to new heights in my never ending journey as a photographer. Much of my work for the time being centers around the core of my very own being, my children. It is one reason I chose to specialize in mostly babies  and families. There is nothing I would love more to capture the true essence and special bond between a family, or provide a special keepsake for an individual as I realize that our children grow wings and fly before we are all really to ready to let them go. I hope you choose to allow me the privilege of you documenting that which is most special to you. Your own family.

I hope to hear from you soon!

SENIOR 2018

It is not too late to get your SENIOR portraits! Call me asap to set up a time to chat and make sure you have the best photos to represent the end of a wonderful chapter in your life. Customized photography for each session! My goal is to photograph your personality! We always have a great time. 913.731.0148 www.photosbypaparazzi.com

Maternity Sessions

This is your last time just being husband and wife. The last professional photo session before your life changes completely. Everyone has advice on what to expect when your little one gets here, how much your life will change, how your focus will be from you to them... the magic of that sweet baby in your tummy is so wonderful. If you are thinking about having your maternity photos taken please call me... no obligation what so ever... I just want to sit down with you and chat about all the love you have for this little one before they get here. 913.731.0148

The Given Family

Fall Family Mini Sessions are so much fun... twenty minutes and dad is done! Hehe well in most cases Dad is ready for me to put down the camera before the rest of the family. Shannon is used to me taking their photos every year (thank goodness) plus this family is full of love and make my job so easy. Just documenting the changes over the years will be appreciated by these kiddos when they are older... Jett has braces! Emerald hasn't aged in 20 years and Scarlet... well you see what I am talking about, right? So blessed to have loyal clients that allow me to capture them year after year.

Call me today 913.731.0148 so we can start your journey in front of my lens!

I only need you.

I see it all the time. Almost every session in fact.

A two year old has a melt down. A child isn't behaving exactly as they normally do or maybe how Dad or Mom was expecting them to for the sake of family photos. Mom gives me that apologetic glance. The heat of shame creeps up her face and then the awkward pause. I fall over myself to reassure. But that reassurance is genuine. If I could impart any sage advice at all here, it would be ALL kids have their days, their minutes, those moments... Including Mine.

And Yes, we get family photos too. I get it guys. Family sessions can be high pressure. The styling and arranging outfits alone is enough to make a Mama nutty.

But my sweet families. Can I share something with you? Maybe something that might put you just at ease-- I hope.

My family sessions are anything but typical. But why should they be?? My families aren't typical either. I appreciate each one for what and who they are.

There is no real expectation in the way of behavior or even personality. I want all of you-- whatever it may be in that moment. Kids are kids. Things happen. We are building a new relationship on our day. There isn't a miracle cure, only a little bit of time. I'm not just after your "poses." I am after your moments. 

Sometimes we hike, we always chat, the kids explore, and instead of my families being expected to sit and smile on demand... I am looking deeper. I want you to interact with your children. I need genuine moments--even if just fleeting. I can be quick if necessary, but there is nothing more beautiful than a Mama that will let her guard down and trust me. 

Because when that happens-- MAGIC happens.

It's give and take I confess. We both give, we both come away with something genuinely special.

And yes, at some point all parents try not to come unglued as their kids play in mud and schlep sticks and have the occasional melt down. It isn't always easy. It is always worth it. Sometimes kids tumble, or someone isn't in the mood *cough Dad*, but I don't need perfection.

I only need you.

I need you to come and be just who you are. Your imperfection is beautiful. I am inspired by it.

And each time you come back-- the kids know me a little better, you know what to expect. It gets that much easier for all of us. I promise.

Let me come and bear witness for you. 

We are all only human. Your humanity is beautiful.

Please Call me to set up a time to chat... 913.731.0148

Kyle + Kaycee

The light at the ball fields in Paola is amazing... and Kyle and Kaycee didnt have a problem working around my daughters softball schedule to meet me for their session. WIN/WIN!! Aren't they a cute couple??? 

Becky's Monkeys

These three did such an amazing job smiling for the camera for their Fall family mini session... we actually had time to be silly!

Studio Sessions

I am having such a great time with my new STUDIO space for newborn and babies all the way up to 18 months old. Want to know how to book a photography session? Please call me 913.731.0148 I would love to chat about how to customize your photo session to exactly what you need. ww.photosbypaparazzi.com

My People.

We all grow up with hopes to be whatever we want. I went to college knowing I was going to be a graphic designer, because somewhere along the way I had a teacher tell me, “do what you love and find a way to get paid for it.” I minored in photography because I loved developing film and watching my point of view come to life through images on paper. Then shortly after graduating everything became digital. I moved to Florida to be an art director of a magazine and started doing freelance.

Next thing you know my high school sweet heart came to my rescue and brought me back to Kansas where I have been lucky enough to be a stay at home mom to my three young children until they all went to school full time. Then the game changed. Cost of living is hard on two steady incomes but one… well, that is almost impossible anymore. I started my photography business when my second child was only one and have learned so much over the past nine years.

I get it. Photography is a luxury and everyone has a camera on their phone or can go buy a dslr camera and call themselves a photographer all day long… but the truth is you get what you pay for. My goal is to give you an experience from start to finish that you rave about to your friends and makes you want to come back year after year. Capturing amazing images of your family as they are right now and turning those images into works of art. Heirloom products you keep for your grandkids to enjoy.

People invest in what they want. Some people do not understand the value of a creative business. Those people aren’t my people. It took me a while to realize who my people are. I thank each and every one of you who have stood behind me along the way and have encouraged me to make the life I have always wanted.

Call me if you want some info on how to book a photo session. I love talking about what I do. 913.731.0148 ~ Kadee Willard

Fall Family Photos

I know some of you aren't ready to let go of summer time (plus this weather is still pretty toasty) but lets face it... it is fall. The leaves are falling and the light is golden. What better Christmas gift to give then updated photos of your family? Heirloom products that last for decades.. moments your great-grandkids will forever cherish!

Believe me, I completely understand finding the time to book a photo session and actually appear as if you are enjoying yourself in the busyness of your schedule can be hard. My daughter pitches for a traveling team and her practices are twice a week 45 minutes from where we live... plus I have two other very active kids, so I feel ya.

That is why I set up these Fall Family Mini sessions. The light is amazing and the sessions are quick and fun! Everyone wins. Call me for more info 913.731.0148 or send me an email.

Taking it to the next level - Newborns

In April I decided to open up a studio for babies, using backdrops for my 18 month and younger cuties, as well as trying something new for Paparazzi Photography - I graduated from college with a graphic design degree so I am now mixing my passion for photography with my education to create stunning works of art <3 span=""> What do you think? 

Let's get REAL!

I saw this on a fellow photog's blog post and had to share. This is so true. Please read. Words from Kaydee Kelly...

So, the other day, Apple released a few new options for their phones.  We are apple folks, we have iPhones, iPads, iPods, MacBooks, AppleWatch, you name it.  We LOVE our apple products!  Are they cheap?  Nope, but why should they be?  You get so much out of your purchase.  Let’s talk about their stores!  I love their set up!  They have everything out on display for you to play with. You are ALWAYS greeted with a smile and a how can I help you?  They do everything they can to make your experience with them as enjoyable as it can be.  You can make sure that if something happens to your devices that they are protected, what a wonderful thing!

The iPhone X retails at $999, the iPhone 8plus is $799 and the iPhone 8 is $699. And those are for JUST the basic memory that comes with it. So, upgrade those bad boys and add another few hundred on.  Many of you, my clients and potential clients will be lining up to preorder it without thinking.

Now, I challenge yourself to think about how long this phone will last?  2-3 years?  Probably, after those few years it will start to get a little wonky, maybe not work exactly the right way and then, well, you’ll replace it.  Another $1000.

Let’s shift gears, you are about 3 months away from welcoming your first, second, third (or more!) child into your family.  These are moments in your life that are IRREPLACEABLE.  You don’t get second chances.

From birth...

to three months 

six months

nine months

to their first birthday

So much changes over the course of the first year, isn’t that worth just as much as the new iPhone X?  No, I take that back, it’s not worth just as much, it’s worth MORE.  A heirloom album full of your baby’s newborn portraits, or full of portraits over his or her first year will last a LIFETIME. Guaranteed. Does your iPhone have the same lifespan?  In 20 years, when your baby comes home from college, will that phone full of snapshots be working?  Will you know where it is? Will you be able to buy a charger for it so you can hopefully just take a glance at those photos? Will he or she even ask for it?

So here is my challenge to you, what are YOU making a priority in your life? Is it your phone, a purse, new shoes or is it EVERLASTING memories of your family?

Ask me how I can find the exact products that work for YOU and YOUR family. How can I preserve YOUR family’s memories. Ask how my clients feel when they walk into their consult and there is fresh fruit for them along with a welcoming hug. Ask them how it feels when they see their images for the first time on a big screen TV with the perfect music as they watch portraits of their baby’s nose, feet and fingers flash up on the screen. Ask them what their emotions were when they saw their first ever family portrait holding their baby.

Ask them what it’s like to walk into their home and see their portraits up on their wall every single day.  Or know that at ANY MOMENT, they can walk over to the bookcase, take out the beautiful album box and flip through their heirloom album that holds the precious memories of when their baby was so small he or she fit curled up into their arms.

I’m sorry, but no iPhone, iPad or MacBook can EVER do that for you. It just can’t, plain and simple.

So, I ask you again, what will you be investing in?  A piece of technology?  Or a way to forever memorialize when your children were young and depended on you, looked up to you, didn’t care whether your hair was washed that day (or that week!) and just plain worshiped the ground you walked on.  To me, those memories are priceless, and worth more than any piece of technology in this world.

Contact me today, let me show you how you can have all of this for years to come.

Newborn photography

Do you know someone who is pregnant and wants professional newborn photos but they are not sure who to trust with their tiny baby... I would love to set up a photo session with mommys to be and talk about what it is that I do. Newborns make my heart happy. Look at this sweet little smiling baby doll!
