Welcome back, Grayson! There is a story behind the Superman shirt, but I don't really remember the details...maybe mom will remind me and I can share here. Either way...too much cuteness to comment on. I am definitely seeing a collage coming on.
The REAL reason I posted about Miss Kansas earlier was so I could segue into THESE shots. Emily is making an appearance in Old Town Square in October. All her clothes are from LUCINDA'S here in Wichita. I will certainly post more about this event when I get the details. Like the shots? Make sure you stop by. Emily will be signing autographed prints!
Since the blog started I haven't posted about Miss Kansas. Well, this year's Miss Kansas is Emily Deaver and she is SUPER! You will never see another pageant queen like this in a million years. Genuine to the core. Completely adorable inside and out (obviously). NOT a gussied-up barbie without a brain. THIS CHICK IS GOING TO WIN MISS AMERICA! Just watch and see.
AND...if anyone saw the reality show last year about Miss America...you should watch again this year. Emily is going to be on it! I am losing my mind. So excited! Want more details? Just ask me. I will ask her. And then we will get the answer straight...maybe.
Headshots for the Miss Kansas pageant:

I would like to introduce all the mere mortals to Angela. Cheers to her for following her dreams and letting dance take her where it may. With a few hundred miles between us and NYC to compete with, getting to see Angela is always a blessing. Can't wait to see you on the big stage...
The Carey family came to me back when I was a wee lass running Gingeroot from my home. Emmalyn was a newborn then...and now look at her! Mom makes her bows. I like to think of them as a Party On Your Head. Don't you think she should sell these? Too much fun
Speaking of business headshots...meet Brandon Paulseen. Not sure if I should keep posting business headshots. Should I? Someone leave a comment and let me know...
Our neighbors down here on Douglas have started popping in for friendly chatting and a few business headshots here and there. Meet Tom from Start Thinking.
If it were up to me, I would take all pregnant bellies outside! This was so much fun and Mercedes was all for it.
Gingeroot Photography will be a featured vendor at the very first Wichita Baby Fare at Century II. Stop by our booth, you won't regret it!
There will be a Diaper Derby, Maternity fashion show, Toddler fashion show, Raffle, Daddy Lounge, Baby Idol Contest and a whole lot more.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Kyrie Foundation.
This is why I love my job. Meeting people like the David family and Miss Rylan makes my day.
In May Rylan became ill and had 3 seizures. She was taken to Wesley hospital and via Childrens Mercy in KC she was diagnosed with Brugada syndrome. It is a rare heart disorder that when she becomes ill it causes the electrical part of her heart to stop. So on 6-30-08 Childrens Mercy implanted a cardiac defibrillator (IDC) in her abdomen. This so that when her heart stops the device will pace her heart and shock it back into rhythm, avoiding sudden death. This device was only the second one in the United States to be implanted. This device is so new that it is not available on the market until late this month. She is doing well and at her last check up she has 9 years remaining on the battery. At that time they hope to move the device to her shoulder.
Yay! Pictures just for fun! That is the way to do things, people. Heather was excited and Tony was a good sport. If you need a good laundromat, we found one with a friendly owner and some intense patrons. [VIEW GALLERY](http://gingeroot.nextproof.com/galleries/heather-arreguin) 
The Grand Opening was our first foray into Wichita's Final Friday gallery crawl. That was so much fun, we think it is time for another party!
Stuff to look at. Stuff to hear. Stuff to buy. Stuff to wear. Stuff to eat. Stuff to drink. Too much stuff to mention.
Friday, September 26th from 6:30 - 10:00pm.
See you there!

Marina is a senior at Heights High School here in Wichita. If you want to know how I torture my seniors, just ask her. It was hot, she hated bugs and I had tons of fun prodding her to act goofy. Mom surprised her towards the end by bringing in her boyfriend, Andrew, to be a part of the rest of the shoot. [VIEW GALLERY](http://gingeroot.nextproof.com/galleries/marina-elassais)
