Colonel Michael Kissinger

It was quite an honor to be present at my son’s pinning ceremony for his new rank of Colonel. Not often do parents get to witness their children being promoted to this rank in the Air Force. This accomplishment is huge!

Baby Shower

Who doesn’t get excited about the birth of a new life?? One way to help a new Mother out and to celebrate the baby’s arrival is by gathering for a baby shower. Smiles, laughter, good food, and excitement all abound when such a gathering occurs. Not to mention the darling itty-bitty articles of baby clothes and accessories….

Frontier STEM High School Graduation

I teach Math at this school and absolutely love the students whom I teach! As exciting as May graduation is, it always brings a touch of sadness for me knowing that I won’t see these kids again.

Graduating Senior

This High School Senior hired me (his Mom did) to photograph him capturing his love of the martial arts. For the most part, I was pleased with the results and so was he.

A Boy and His Legos

All of my own children loved creating and building with Legos when growing up….and now three of my Grandsons also love Legos. Here is one of my Grandsons, named Phoenix!

Roses

I think every year around Valentine’s Day I post some of my Rose photos because every year I admire their beauty and the man who gives them to me on Valentine’s Day.

Visiting the Titanic Display in Kansas City

My Grandson, Phoenix, is fascinated with the Titanic ship and its story. So much so, that he would draw the ship over and over again when doing his art. He got really good at it! So, I took him to see the Titanic display located at Union Station in Kansas City.

My Oldest and His Family

Even though I’ve quite often wished my oldest and his family lived closer to Kansas City than they normally do, it has been fun getting to visit them in different states as Michael gets transferred about every three years in the Air Force. Here they are in Tampa (or near Tampa, Florida.)

Frontier STEM High School Graduation

Not only do I get to teach Math at this wonderful school, I also get to take pictures on graduation day! Here are some of the photos from 2025 graduation.

Senior Photos

I never get tired of taking pictures of graduating Seniors. Now that I think about it, I never get tired of taking ANY kind of pictures, even though I have slowed down a little.

An Arty Loft

The loft in Chicago where my daughter, Susan, and her family live, hired her to paint hallways in the loft complex. Susan is a creative artist as well as highly skilled in a plethora of other endeavors that require creativity and attention to details.

Roses

Every Valentine’s Day and only on Valentine’s Day Jim gives me flowers. I’m okay with that because not only does that make it more special since it’s not a common gift from him, I would probably be the same way if I was the one giving flowers. They are beautiful, but so expensive considering they don’t last very long.

Chicago Shopping!

Shopping down town Chicago is a unique experience all in itself, with the array of shops, lights, and people from all over the world.

A Christmas Family Portrait

Families are always fun to photograph! Not only do I want to take the more formal pictures, I also want to capture some of their personalities as they interact with one another.

Jim, The Man Whom I Love

Nothing else needs to be said about Jim except that I love him dearly and will forever. Besides that, there is not enough space to adequately confess my love for him.

The Red Room

I really like the red room in my home! Not only is red my favorite color, red rooms are beautiful to me. I never get tired of it especially toward the end of the day when the sun is setting and adding both a glow and a warmth. This red room of mine is where many have gathered over the years to share food, laughter, and many stories.

I Fell for Fall Again!

This season will always be my favorite season because of its beauty and cooler temperatures!
These photos were taken in Parkville, Missouri and in Columbia, Missouri when I was watching my granddaughter swim at the University of Missouri in Columbia.
