Welcome to my new web site! For those of you wondering about the name, "Mockingbird Hill" is the title of an old song I love, and so I call my farm and business that, also. I live on the farm with my "kids"-- donkeys, sheep, chickens, cats, and a dog. I graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute, and am currently employed doing graphics for a company in North Kansas City. I am available for doing any of the type of work shown in the Kansas City area. My photography studio is "on wheels"-- I come to you! If you want to set up your family or children in a favorite local park, that can definitely be arranged. If you are interested in more formal photographs, I bring the "studio" to your home. That means baby is at home and feels content. You can change outfits- or change the baby, if need be. There isn't a time schedule or someone waiting impatiently for their turn. That creates an optimum atmosphere for capturing the "specialness" of each tiny person. I focus on the child (rather than elaborate set-ups or props), and especially enjoy capturing the bond between an adult and child. I am also available for mural painting, pencil drawings, illustration and graphics. I hope to display more examples of both my photography and other artistic endeavors shortly; in the meantime, this site is definitely a work in progress, so please come back and visit again. If you'd like to contact me about doing some art or photography, please feel free to do so by emailing me at mockingbirdhill.smugmug@yahoo.com. Thanks for visiting!
