I am currently looking for 2 individuals to be my representatives at Harrisonville High School for 2014! This year it's Harrisonville's turn and next year I will be looking for representative from another school. As a representative, you will receive a free one hour session, 3 mini accordion booklets to show everyone your pictures and an online viewing gallery of all your images. Plus your own business cards! Yes, business cards! In return for the free session I am requesting that you spread the word about West Elm Photography by showing your fellow students your images and handing them a business card. You get a free session and I get more business...it's a win win! Please fill out this questionnaire...I'm looking for 2 models by the end of July. You know someone that might be interested? send them here!  Cheyenne Class of 2013

I recently left my job as a part time phlebotomist to be home 24/7 with my twin boys. With all the bad things happening to kids & schools in the news in the past year, my anxiety levels were through the roof everyday I sent them to daycare. SO, I quit my part time gig, now focusing on photography full time AND became a full time mom again. Below are some of the pictures I've captured while at home with the boys, our favorite time is the morning...breakfast, Bubble Guppies, Potty Training and redecorating mommy's office (every day) while still in our PJ's. These boys are a handful, the house is a constant mess no matter how much I pick it up and sometimes their screams can break a window but hey, being home with them everyday is right where I want to be...until 6:00, then daddy's home and I can take a break. ha By the way... Thank you Tom for letting me have this opportunity, I love you and I love our happy life. Thank you.                 My husbands cousin whom I adore (!!!!!!) asked if I would photograph her girls and of course I obliged! I am so happy with the results, these girls are unique in their own beautiful way...one has green eyes, one has blue, one has freckles, one does not. Seriously beautiful girls inside AND out! Enjoy some of my favorite pictures from the day. ©westelmphotography | 2013 
I was contacted about a month ago by Ryan who ran across my website while researching photographers in Kansas City...and I'm so glad he did! He explained to me that he was going to propose to his girlfriend Lauren but he wanted her to think that he was taking her to a photography class as a birthday present. I agreed that I would act as a photography teacher (I was awful, ask Lauren, ha) but really I would be there to capture the beautiful moment Ryan had planned. I had suggested Kauffman Gardens and told him I would get there early to scope the area out and find the perfect spot for him to propose...I was so nervous I showed up 45 minutes early just to make sure I had the perfect spot. I mean, this was a big deal and I was going to make sure everything was perfect! So here we go, it's 4:30 and I see Ryan and Lauren make their way into the Gardens and Lauren has her awesome camera in tow, oh yes and by now I forgot all the stuff I was going to "teach" her on cameras, I had actually practiced and now I'm looking at her and completely spaced everything. Is it possible I was more nervous than Ryan? nah but close! I just wanted to make sure I did everything I was supposed to do, this was the big day and I was not going to let Ryan down. Now let's get started on these pictures... Here is my "student" eager to learn all there is about cameras...hahahaha bless her heart, I'm literally clueless...I told her I always take pictures of my students. oh geez 
After her picture I then said "why don't I get a picture of you both and then I'll tell you about how I got the lighting on the image"...still not a teacher...keep in mind, it's a picture of them pre-engaged! awwww Ryan knew from our conversations that after I snapped a picture of the two of them, this was his time. 
Ok, here's the moment...tears are now forming...seriously, I did cry a little, it was just so sweet!!! 
Beautiful couple and now ENGAGED!!! So happy I was chosen to capture this moment that will forever be with them. Thank you Ryan, your a doll and I hope you do have twins someday (wild, crazy ones. ha) and Lauren, your personality and use of a cuss word at the best moment were awesome. Much love to you both as you open this next chapter in your life. xoxo ~Robin P.S. I do weddings too...just sayin' 
I recently got to hang out with a dear friend of mine this past weekend. I have not seen Melody in oh, 10 years!! She looked the same only better, not that this is a stretch, but I've never seen her so radiant. Here are some of the images from our amazing day together.       All Images are ©westelmphotography
