otto and hank – a studio session

i’ve got so many sessions to blog! this is a family session from last fall that i absolutely loved! what can i say about this family that hasn’t already been said? i’ve been photographing them for almost 6 years now and i simply adore them. last summer they moved to dallas and you can imagine how honored i was that they chose to return to kansas city for their annual family portraits. it’s been so amazing to watch these little guys grow over the years. their beautiful mama is more like a friend than a client. one look at her and you can see why her boys are so gorgeous! this family photo session took place at our studio. i love the natural light and the beautiful wood floors here. and of course, mel had the boys dressed perfectly as always. talking to otto, i really couldn’t believe how grown up he is. if you’ve been following the hocus focus blog for a few years, you’ll remember him as mantle baby. his newborn photos were some of my favorites i’ve ever done. and then there’s hank. oh, sweet hank with those giant eyes and adorable curls. this little man can […]

rebecca – senior portraits

by heathermorrow· March 10, 2012· in Seniors· 3 comments tags: class of 2012, country sessions, girls senior portraits, heather morrow, hocus focus, kansas city photographer, kansas city senior portraits, urban senior portraits

this is undoubtably one of the most fun kansas city senior portrait sessions i’ve done. rebecca, one of our 2012 senior spokesmodels, is all smiles and her laugh is truly contagious. after hair and makeup by the fabulous michele taylor, we kicked off rebecca’s session in the kansas city river market and i loved her classic outfit. such a timeless choice for senior pictures. we laughed a lot during this session. i walked away on cloud nine – not only because i knew we captured some amazing images, but because rebecca is just really fun to be around. and when she laughs – she really laughs. she doesn’t hold back in front of the camera – which makes her a photographer’s dream. i loved the vintage vibe of this yellow dress and the way it looked with all the ivy along the fence. after the river market, we headed out to my favorite gravel road where rebecca continued to rock it. can you believe she was nervous about her session? she’s such a natural. she brought such a great range of clothes for senior pictures. she had classic, trendy, casual, dressy – her wardrobe was perfect. i’m a sucker for […]

Happy Birthday, Genna!

She started out as a client. Then she became an intern. And then she became a friend. Today, she's like family. Most of my client's know her. You've seen her on the blog before. She's often with me at shoots and over the last couple of years she's practically been my right hand. She is such a blessing to me and my business. Her dedication, enthusiasm and creativity are just a few of the many things that make her so amazing. I adore her. My family adores her. And I know all of my clients adore her, too. Happy 20th Birthday, Genna! Lots of love, H

Sneak Peek for Taylor | Kansas City Senior Portraits

There's so much I could say about Taylor but I know she's dying for her sneak peek so I'll save (most of) it for the final post. But let me just tell you that she's one of the most amazing girls I've ever photographed. She's a girl with a vision. She knows what she wants. She's got what it takes to make things happen and I simply adore her. And I was so excited when she came to me with the idea to shoot at the soccer field, but put her own spin on things. If ever a senior embodied my tag line of "be original. be true. be you." it would be Taylor. Taylor is one of our 2012 Senior Spokesmodels. If you're a 2012 or even 2013 senior ask Taylor how you can save on your own senior portrait session. (hair and makeup by the fabulous Melissa Evans) I absolutely cannot wait to dive in to the rest of this session. There's sure to be a gigantic post to follow so stay tuned. Happy Monday, H

Sneak Peek for Senior Spokesmodel Alexis

I met Alexis at the grand opening party at Stem and I immediately knew I wanted to photograph her. She's got such a beautiful smile and it's simply contagious. Shooting her senior portraits was beyond fun. Her mom and sister (who she's very close with) tagged along and we even snuck in a family session at the end. Here are a few sneak peeks from our fabulous day together! And her sister Brittany was more than happy to jump in (literally) for a few photos herself! Hopefully I'll be shooting Brittany's senior portraits next year. By the end of the day my cheeks actually hurt from smiling so much. And that's never a bad thing! Love both of these beautiful girls and their family. More to come soon! H

I just worked up a little sneak peek for Sam, our only male senior spokesmodel this year. Sam is a super cool guy. He's confident, talented and adventurous. And even better – he's super comfortable in front of the camera, which made my job so easy. Check out a few of my favorite shots. We're still booking seniors from the Class of 2012, but call soon as fall dates are booking up quickly. I've been shooting like crazy lately. More sneak peeks to come soon! Happy Friday! H

Last year I shot Katie…and I just realized I never blogged her session! You can check it out on our facebook page, though. She's since become one of my all-time favorite seniors. I've used her on business cards and in print ads. She's beyond fabulous! Yesterday I shot her little brother, Jack, and two of his best friends. And, guess what? They totally rock, too! I rarely shoot senior boys – not because I don't want to…I just always seem to book girls. These guys were amazing! Here's Jack with his killer blue eyes. And Chris. And Trenton. Thanks for a fun afternoon, guys. And for any teenage girls who may have driven by The Nelson yesterday afternoon while the boys were changing their shirts, you're welcome. Hope you enjoy the sneak peek. More to come so stay tuned! H

It's finally August and I can share another Her Life Magazine Trendsetter shoot with everyone. I swear the wait from shoot to publication time nearly kills me. The August issue features Clique Boutique, a lovely little gem in the The Village. Clique is relatively new so I stopped in a couple of weeks before the shoot to check it out. I hadn't even make it in the door before my jaw hit the floor. Clique is filled with racks of stunning dresses and shelves of amazing handbags, but the jewelry…oh the gigantic, glorious jewelry, was what really pulled me in. (This is where we insert our first Rachel Zoe I DIE moment.) I'm such a jewelry hound and for me the bigger and bolder, the better. This first piece from Jet Lag Jewels was insane! Loved the earrings from 74 Harley Street and the Jet Lag Jewels bracelet. And this 74 Harley Street Necklace was amazing. Rachel Zoe would definitely die. TWICE. Clique also carries Me&Ro, which I love. And then there's the Jet Lag Jewels turquoise necklace. Can you ever have too much turquoise? Don't answer that. This leather cut-out dress was amazing! I wish I would have taken a close-up. The detail […]
