Welcome

Welcome to my new blog, Plain Jane. Just plain me (jane) unscripted.

Be sure to bookmark our new site. Here you'll find sneak peaks of sessions, current promotions, and happenings at the studio.

A little about me,this is hard......

I love all things creative: clothing, art, color, pattern, personalities. I hate anything routine. I'm a mom to two terrific tomboys. They keep me on my toes and continually challenge me to be a better person. I love seeing the beauty and uniqueness in each little person I am blessed to meet.

Chocolate Bribery

So excited about this wonderful outfit from Baby Go Retro
Love pink and brown together. Also love this new location. A sweet neighbor said we could use her farm for shooting. Thank you!!!!
Back to the bribe. Ryan decided she needed payment to work today so what is nearer to a girl’s heart than Chocolate, and Hershey’s at that!

Pretty Please with a cherry on top!

How fun is this sweet little set from Baby Go Retro. Love the cherries!

What to wear, Part 2

For younger kids and toddlers, comfort is key. If they are comfortable, it is easier to get them to relax and be themselves.

Sheila of Baby Go Retro makes some of the cutest, kitchiest kids clothes with a vintage flair for both boys and girls.

We’ve also been MJ fans for a while. Ryan is the lucky recipient of Tate’s older MJ hand-me-downs.

What to Wear?

The most frequent question I get asked is what to wear to a session.   Simple solids and layering are always good.  You want to remember your child and have them be the focus, not the outfit.   Let teens and older kids pick their favorites. You want to remember them as they are. That being said, I adore unique kid’s boutique clothing and have some definite favorites.

My 10 year old, soccer playing, dirt bike riding tomboy chose Matilda Jane for her school pictures.  She loves their uniqueness, comfort and style.  

Check them out out at Matilda Jane Clothing

They have a boys line in the works too!

Rock Chalk Jayhawk Go KU!

This will really date me but the hawks won the Final Four my senior year at KU.
Good luck tonight!!

A tease of summer


Sunday’s warm temperatures were such a tease of Spring & Summer. We shot this so sweet summer ensemble by Baby Go Retro taking advantage of the warm temperatures.

Sneak Peak for Sabrina


I was finally able to meet up with this little charmer. What an adorable little one who is so obviously cherished.
I quickly peaked at this session and this jumped out at me.
It was a pleasure meeting you all.

I can only wish it was summer

After all this ice and snow, it was SO fun to get out and dream of warm, sunny weather in this adorable set from BabyGoRetro.
Ry’s hair is getting so long but we had fun doing a faux french braid with her trash ties from Heather Bailey. Thanks Miranda for the tip on them.


Merry Christmas!



From our family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year.
Thank you to all the little ones who’ve brought such joy and smiles to us throughout the past year. Thank you! We hope to see you in the coming year.
