Couture Bridal Portraits

Couture Bridal Portraits
Lauren along with her mom & sis joined up with me to do a fashion style bridal portrait earlier this week.  I love it when brides take advantage of a portrait session prior to the wedding!  It let’s me be really creative & get different shots than time allows for on wedding day.  It...

I’m a little slow at keeping the blog up-to-date these days… There is plenty of action going on behind the scenes keeping me busy!  I officially closed our business office for the month of July (insert laugh here, still plenty of work going on!) But I am excited about all of the projects...

I wanted to surprise my husband for his birthday.  It’s been an especially rough year due to persistent health problems that .  All of this preceded by an accident that broke both of his arms & shattered his right elbow! Yeah, I know- unbelievable.  It’s still a mystery as to what...

Berkley’s Boys

Berkley’s Boys
I first met Berkley & her boys when Linda threw a messy birthday party for her little girl, Nina.  I didn’t have much interaction with Grayson (seen below), it appears he is a little shy around people he doesn’t know.  But when I showed up at Berkley’s home the other day, it...

I just love this couple!  But somehow we ended up scheduling their session on one of the most humid days of the year.  I thought it was warm the morning I shot Dana & Craig, but on this day I began to sweat the moment I stepped out of my van. Ick. This I refer to as ‘Savannah Hot’ but...

Vacation Time!

Vacation Time!
I am always on the lookout for interesting vacation spots. Places tucked far, far away from tourist attractions and lots of crazy people. I like quiet and I love nature. I also want to go green(er)! While “googling” away I came across the term ‘Ecolodge’. I know many hotels have chosen...

Interesting story about how I met Stephanie… She was one of the many wonderful nurses that cared after my husband when he was hospitalized last November at Overland Park Regional.  She was so sweet & went out of her way to take special care of us.   It’s been difficult navigating the...

After an especially steamy week here in Kansas City, I was excited to hear that Sunday’s wedding forecast call for a high of 83 with cloudy skies!  We’d faced an 104 degree steamer just the day before and gotten rained on…  I was happy to spend the day indoors at the temple.  B’nai...

I’ve been to a lot of weddings but I’ve never seen anything like last Saturday afternoon at Mildale Farms in Edgerton, Kansas. Today was 1 in a million. The week started out with scorching temperatures in Kansas.  The heat index for this afternoon was 104- the humidity was absolutely brutal...
