Strolling in the City Market

2011-09-29T06:53:00.000-07:00

Do you ever wish you could wear cute hair dongles as a grown woman? After this session with Sarah and her daughter, I did! Cute hair bows aside, I love the playfulness between mother and daughter in these photos - romping around the City Market, having a good time. I would love to have photos like these with my Mom when I was little!

Senior Girls - Codi

2011-09-28T15:10:00.000-07:00

With her trademark silver kicks, Codi tore it up at her senior session at the Liberty Memorial and the West Bottoms. Anyone who can seamlessly transition from black studded heels to silver high tops is a girl with many interesting facets. Codi was super laid back and was willing to climb over railroad tracks and crumbling warehouse walls (in heels!) to get some great shots. One of the images was ordered in an aluminum print and I can't wait to see the finished product - a little bit of edge that matched the vibe of our shoot.

Senior Girls - Amanda

2011-09-23T09:36:00.000-07:00

I was so excited to try out my vintage couch in the woods at Swope Park during Amanda's senior session. I rolled up to the park driving at Grandma speed with the couch hanging precariously out of my Honda. It was a sight to see! With Amanda's Mom Kathy's help, we got the couch into a gorgeous spot and then added gorgeous Amanda for a memorable set of portraits. After our adventures at Swope Park, I dropped the couch at home and then headed to the Plaza to finish the session. Amanda was up for the adventure and didn't even laugh at my rope tying skills when I attempted to pack up the couch!

Senior Guys - Tommy

2011-09-21T14:03:00.000-07:00

It was early on Saturday morning when I met Tommy and his mom, Yvonne, for his senior photos. At a time where most teenage guys would certainly rather be sound asleep, Tommy was charming and looked sharp. At his viewing appointment, I could tell he is a special guy to his family by the way his mom and sister ooooed and ahhhhed over him in the photos. It was too cute!

Senior Girls - Salis

2011-09-15T11:53:00.001-07:00

I'm pretty sure that the group of high school seniors I have photographed this year are going to run the world someday. What a group of smarties! And charismatic too. Salis is graduating a year early from high school and is sweet as can be. Did you hear that - a year early, people. She even brought her puppy dog and got some snuggly shots at the garden where we shot. Adorable!

Senior Girls - Ali

Senior Guys- Ben

2011-09-14T12:59:00.000-07:00

Ben was the definition of a chill senior photo shoot at Unity Village. That was good as we ran into a number of people doing walking meditation on the grounds...so chill was definitely the vibe! Ben is a tall fella so the long lines of the buildings at Unity Village really complimented his height. He's a swimmer but I managed to keep him out of all the beautiful fountains and captured some great stuff!

Work and Play

2011-09-08T15:29:00.001-07:00

Haley came in for some professional shots but we also managed to work in some "just for fun" photos as well. I LOVE the black dress - just smashing!!

Joshua Center Benefit Auction

2011-09-07T09:08:00.000-07:00

A portrait sitting and 8x10 from Christina Lundeen Photography will be auctioned off at the Joshua Center benefit on September 17th. My client, Nancy, is on the board of this wonderful organization and brought the auction to my attention. The Joshua Center is a local organization that provides services and support for the social, emotional, and educational needs of neurologically impaired children, including children with Asperger Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Tourette Syndrome, and their families. Nancy became involved with the organization after a family member was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. Here is a photo of Nancy's family from a photo shoot we did last year.

Where's the Lady

2011-09-06T15:23:00.000-07:00

Jen brought in her adorable daughter for an August mini session and it was great to catch up again. We played a rousing game of "Where's the lady" where I would hop out from behind things to make her giggle. I'm loving the blue door series where her favorite stuffed puppy played a vital role. She was telling her puppy to "sit" and the puppy totally behaved. Wish my puppies would listen that well...

A Day At The Fair

2011-09-05T09:22:00.001-07:00

In honor of Labor Day, I'm posting this fun photo shoot of the sweetest couple. I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend with something just as fun!

Yoga Mama

2011-08-29T19:43:00.001-07:00

It's been a month filled with lots of mamas-to-be and Lindsay kicked it off with her yoga themed shoot. She teaches at my favorite yoga studio, Darling Yoga, and I'm totally digging the reverse warrior photo. Stay tuned for the newborn photos soon :)

Three Boys at the Nelson

2011-08-16T12:23:00.000-07:00

The handsome and energetic trio of Dylan, Jack and Cooper kept me on my toes at the Nelson in July. It was right before the really hot weather hit but I was still sweating like a crazy person after running around with these three cutie boys. I loved chasing after Cooper and his blond ringlets, yelling "Coooooooop" and watching his big brothers make him giggle.

Senior Guys: Chris

2011-08-15T13:51:00.000-07:00

Chris and I started our session at some soccer fields in Overland Park where we got some fun photos and I got to play with a new lighting style. We then headed down the to West Bottoms where we continued our photo extravaganza. I think the blue door looks amazing with his eyes!

Senior Girls: Katie

2011-08-05T06:10:00.001-07:00

I'm in full swing with 2012 high school seniors! Katie, her parents and I bummed around Westport and the Plaza for lots of great city scenes. Katie is a fellow photographer so we even got to incorporate her camera into some of the shots. I love the red printed dress with pop of blue from the belt...a great example of how prints can add visual interest to your portrait!

Hello Neighbor

2011-08-04T13:14:00.000-07:00

It's so nice to work with new clients that live in my neighborhood. Having lived in Kansas City for just three years now, I'm still meeting lots of folks in the Brookside/Waldo area and enjoy getting to know folks that live in my hood. You never know when you might need to borrow a cup of sugar from a neighbor. You know, for all those pies I don't bake. Tammy and her family live just a few blocks away plus Tammy grew up in the area so we chose Swope Park for her photo shoot location. It's her old stomping grounds so she was right at home!

Hot Time In the City

2011-08-02T14:08:00.000-07:00

We braved the heat of late July and did some fabulous portraits for this family of nine. I just finished a 20x30 canvas that I can't wait to deliver!

Beautiful Miss Sophia

2011-07-18T12:11:00.001-07:00

The sure cure for Monday blahs...Miss Sophia!

Display Inspiration

2011-07-11T10:35:00.001-07:00

Need some display ideas for your photos? How about a collage of 8x8 squares to give you some inspiration...

Seeing Changes on the Scale (The Good Kind)

2011-07-07T09:00:00.000-07:00

Just 6 months ago, this little guy could lay down on the scale during his newborn photos. It's fun to see kiddos change so much in their first year...photograph them often to remember these stages!

Baby Quinn

2011-07-06T14:18:00.001-07:00

My client, Carrie, has a lock on adorable baby boys. She has two other handsome little fellas and now adds Quinn to the mix. Before long, all three of the boys will be running around in front of my camera. In the meantime, Quinn slept like a champ and let me create these sweet newborn portraits.

Dog Days Of Summer

2011-06-30T06:38:00.001-07:00

There are excessive heat warnings in Kansas City today. I guess the dog days of summer are officially here. This pup told me so.

Senior Girls: Sophie

2011-06-29T14:12:00.000-07:00

A summer day, a great pair of cowboy boots and the Plaza...what a lovely combination!

Mail Call for Susan

2011-06-29T14:08:00.001-07:00

Just popped these photos in the mail for Susan - hope you enjoy them!

Until We Meet Again

2011-06-02T20:22:00.000-07:00

Since Alice and I are planning a fabulous urban shoot for her family this summer, I had to dip back into the archives in her honor. It was cold and snowy the last time we did a photo shoot and her little peanut was adorable in his little sweater vest. Can't wait to see what summer cuteness we can wrangle up!

Look Who Is Two!

2011-06-02T20:21:00.001-07:00

My Sister's Wedding

2011-04-24T06:32:00.000-07:00

Since Easter is a day for family, I thought I would share some photos from my sister's wedding. She was married in St Lucia a few weeks ago and I had the chance to snap a few photos during the day. I wasn't the official photographer as I wanted to be part of her big day without a camera in my hand! It was a gorgeous location with a gorgeous bride...I'm not biased at all :)

Greetings from Oz!

2011-04-06T09:38:00.000-07:00

I come bearing photos from overseas! My Australian hubby and I just got back from a trip to Australia and I am sharing my favorite session from my time down under. The subject matter is near and dear to my heart since it is my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and my gorgeous nephews. I miss them already!

Good Morning, Sunshine

2011-02-10T09:02:00.001-08:00

This little ray of sunshine will help brighten any morning. And when you've been up since 4 am because you took your handsome husband to the airport for an early flight, you might need a little pick me up. Am I right?

Inspired by The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

2011-02-02T07:10:00.000-08:00

At last count, I've been to about 15 Bob Dylan shows so it's safe to assume I'm a little bit of a nut for my friend Bobby. So when I photographed Brandi and Drake in the West Bottoms on a cold January day, I couldn't help but think about the album cover for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. In the famous album cover, Bobby and his then girlfriend, Suze, amble down a West Village street in NYC in their winter coats in 1963. Not only did the setting and couple remind me of the album cover but Drake brought his guitar too...

Here is the original album cover photo by CBS staff photographer Don Hunstein:

My Bobby inspired photos:

Wonder Twin Powers Activate

2011-02-01T13:06:00.001-08:00

Wonder Twin Powers Activate! Form of cutie pies! Does this superhero reference date me at all? Fine, you caught me, I'm old.

Remember Autumn?

2011-02-01T12:58:00.000-08:00

Ahhhh, remember that season that comes before winter? You know, the one with all the pretty leaves and the absence of 12 inches of snow on the ground? Well, get your fall fill here with the Johnson family shoot. A beautiful autumn day where we could frolic around Loose Park in tank tops and sandals. Now those were the days.

Senior Girls: Lexi

2011-01-15T05:49:00.001-08:00

With 7 inches of snow blanketing the ground at the moment, I find it hard to believe we shot Lexi's photos just last week in downtown Parkville. We had so many fun shots around the downtown area as well as English Landing Park so it was hard to narrow it down to her favorites. Enjoy, Lexi!

An Eyelash Study

2011-01-14T11:34:00.000-08:00

I know he's a boy, but Erik has the most beautiful eyelashes EVER! The first photograph is going out as a 12x24 thin wrap canvas and it's going to be delicious.

Mr. Cute Cheeks

2011-01-14T11:21:00.000-08:00

Has suitcase, will travel. Meet cool hand Luke.

Welcome 2011!

2011-01-04T12:38:00.000-08:00

I started the year out right with a delivery of fabulous prints to Lyndsey and Steve today. We did a December shoot in their home and we created a really fun wall arrangement from their photos. I should have known the shoot would go well because 1) Lyndsey is an Iowa State grad and I love ISU 2) her husband is a sommelier and I love wine 3) she has a company called Team Cocktail and I love cocktails. What a good start to my year!

Last Outdoor Shoot of the Year...Goodbye Fall!

2010-12-16T07:25:00.001-08:00

It was such a nice year for fall photography - temperatures cooperated for much longer than usual which enabled me to schedule lots more outdoor shoots. Rebecca's girls and I were able to start indoors at the Arts Incubator and then moved around the streets of the Crossroads. I have to say both locations are favorites of mine so I really love these photos!

Senior Guys: Brandon

2010-12-04T06:25:00.000-08:00

I always like it when a mom of one of my senior guys tells me that her son had a good senior portrait experience. I feel like I should have a tagline especially for senior guys - "Christina Lundeen Photography: You Won't Hate It!" Not that I should be surprised that Brandon had a good experience - he seems like the kind of guy that would be comfortable and agreeable in most scenarios. Meet Brandon: runner, future Wildcat, swell guy.

I'm Thankful for Sequins

2010-11-30T07:23:00.000-08:00

Since I'm still eating Thanksgiving leftovers, I can still talk about Thanksgiving right? In that case, I'm thankful for adorable little clients who know how to rock a sequin jacket.

Kate the Great

2010-11-19T08:55:00.001-08:00

Ingredients for a successful photo shoot: 1) Fall leaves 2) Adorable blond little girl 3) Fur trimmed boots 4) Cute parents. Combine ingredients well and enjoy!

Smith Family Photos

2010-11-18T06:27:00.000-08:00

I'm a total sucker for a little kid in a newsboy cap so I was smitten with the Smith Family at our shoot in the West Bottoms. And the gorgeous red curls and the ruffled pink skirt were both perfect ingredients for a sweet urban shoot!

Clients with Cookies

2010-11-17T18:38:00.000-08:00

It must be "bring your photographer yummy food and drink week" and I couldn't be more pleased. Misty rocked up to her viewing appointment tonight with fresh baked cookies for yours truly. I'm happy to report that I am having cookies and wine for dinner, courtesy of my lovely clients! I think this is turning into a food and drink fan page, isn't it? Focus on the photos, people, focus on the photos.

Katie and Ed

2010-11-15T16:19:00.000-08:00

Listen, I'm not saying I'm playing favorites here but not only were Katie and Ed fun to work with but they also brought me a bottle of wine to their viewing appointment. That may or may not have pushed them to the top of my list :)

Downtown with Griffin

2010-10-18T12:20:00.001-07:00

Some days my job is super easy...like the day I photographed Griffin in downtown Kansas City. He's 10 years old and had fun climbing on every available surface as we walked around the Power and Light District. He played and I shot. How cool does the Sprint Center look in photos?!

Fall Families

2010-10-17T15:34:00.001-07:00

Whewww!!!! I've been shooting up a storm for the past month and wanted to share some of the fab families that have passed in front of my lens in the last month. Lots more to come in the next few weeks...

Fall Couples

2010-10-17T15:26:00.000-07:00

With the unseasonably warm weather, it's been so nice shooting outdoors well into October. Check out some couples I've photographed recently for engagements and anniversaries - no fall jackets, boots or scarves required!

Watch Out, Hollywood!

2010-07-31T10:58:00.000-07:00

Look out Hollywood - you're about to be hit with two of the cutest Midwest girls ever! Lauren and Ariel were looking for photographs for their acting portfolio and we had a great session in the West Bottoms. Deterred by rain at the first session, we made good on our second attempt to photograph these gorgeous twins. With their bubbly and fun personalities, I can definitely see them rocking their own sitcom soon. Remember the little people (like your photographer) when you become big stars!

A Girl and Her Puppy

2010-07-22T15:21:00.000-07:00

If this doesn't make you smile on a Thursday afternoon, I'm not sure what will. A girl and her puppy enjoying a day at the park. It's as simple as that.

Senior Model: Katie

2010-07-21T10:11:00.001-07:00

Katie is one of my gorgeous senior models this year! She's set to graduate from Saint Thomas Aquinas in 2011 and was such an easy going girl to work with. We braved an extremely hot summer day to get these images. From the Plaza...to Swope Park...to the Nelson Atkins...to the studio...oh and don't forget the quick stop at Planet Sub and the local bakery for some quick lunch. Meet Katie!

Little Photographer

2010-07-21T09:52:00.000-07:00

Kathryn was celebrating her 5th birthday so her mom brought her into the studio for her annual portraits. Not only was she adorable during the session, but her mom told me she held her very own photo shoot once she got home. Camera in hand, she snapped pics of her mom using shower curtains and other fabrics as her backgrounds. Just one more reason to love this little budding photographer!

Summer Kiddos

2010-07-07T12:15:00.000-07:00

Are you sick of my postings yet? Can you tell it's "catch up on the blog and Facebook" day here in rainy Kansas City? Although I'm stuck inside, here are some little rays of sunshine to cheer things up a bit. This is a collection of some of the cutie pies I've photographed this summer...

All-American Models

2010-07-07T11:38:00.000-07:00

A budding crop of all-American models have come before my camera over the last couple of weeks. Tomorrow brings another model shoot with two 15 year old twins...stay tuned for more model fun!

Summer of Love

2010-07-07T11:23:00.000-07:00

You can tell it's wedding season by the amount of engagement sessions I've had lately. I have witnessed countless hours of canoodling, snuggling and smooching this summer. 2010 is certainly the summer of love...

Puppy Love

2010-06-29T12:36:00.001-07:00

OK, so they aren't puppies but aren't these two the most fun little cutie pies? Anne brought me her little loved ones for some photos at Swope Park a few weeks ago. On a hot Friday night, we pranced around the park and I can just see some of these images making amazing canvases for their home.

It's not all babies and puppies around here...there is some serious business happening at the studio lately. Business photography, that is. Some of the professionals that have visited me recently for new head shots and business photos include advertising execs, actors, real estate agents, authors and even an audiologist! Professional photo don't have to be a snooze, especially for an on location shoot which can bring even more personality into the photos.

Here's a little peek at some family photos we've been working on so far this summer! Whether an urban environment or a natural one, there are so many unique spots around the city for a family photo. And these families did a fantastic job on their clothing selection...everyone goes together but it's fun and not too "matchy matchy." Does this give you any ideas for a family portrait this summer?!

Did you ever really, really, really, really want dimples when you were young? I definitely would have done anything to have the adorable dimples that were brought to life every time Brandi flashed that gorgeous smile of hers! Brandi was the winner at a local fashion show where a gift card to my studio was the grand prize. Talented girl that she is, she made not only the winning dress for the fashion show but also the printed dress you see in these pics.

Accessories can add so much fun to a photo and Ellen brought some kickin accessories: killer hat, chunky necklaces, jeweled bracelets, patterned tights and of course shoes shoes shoes! But Ellen's best accessory is her ambition. Graduating a semester early, she's already pursuing her college degree and her list of possible jobs include a gig with the United Nations. I can already see her pounding the pavement in NYC someday...

I'm a big believer that a good moisturizer is critical to a gal's beauty routine. So every night I diligently apply overpriced creams to my face, trying to turn back the clock and regain the skin I had in my late teens/early 20s. It's not really working. So when I see a fresh faced senior, I really love to show off her gorgeous complexion in photographs. Meet Ellen. Fresh faced senior, artist, dancer and all around fun girl.

It's hat day...
