Lymie Life | Reality Check

“I just want you well again…’ I whisper these words to my husband who tosses & turns in his sleep. But before the words even leave my lips, I feel a strong wave of uncertainty wash over me. I want to bury myself in his arms & pretend this life we’re living isn’t...

Another Wonderful Couple {Laura&Adam}

Whew! It’s been a busy summer!! Fortunately I managed to scale back my weddings this year, only accepting 20 for 2010. Amazingly the majority of my weddings were scheduling this Spring & Summer! I am looking forward to having a few free Saturdays this Fall. Hopefully this will provide...

The Kelly’s & Baby Lyla

I was excited to hear from Kelly a few months ago. It had been a while since I’d heard from her but she was the beautiful bride who appeared in Elegant Bride magazine back in 2008. She was writing to tell me that she & husband (also named Kelly) has expanded their family. Eight months...

Summer Family Fun

It always seems to come at the right time, a day like this… a day with a beautiful family, wonderfully well-behaved children that are a delight & thrill to photograph. This is the kind of day that truly reminds me how great it is to photograph life’s moments. Perhaps you remember these...

Three Beautiful Boys {my hubby’s family}

My husband has practically been completely house bound since he began IV treatment for his condition last September. We are on a regimen of drugs that are needed around the clock to help manage the debilitating symptoms of Lyme disease. Additionally his most recent hospital stay left him weaker...

Melissa & Casey {engagement}

I am often asked, ‘Can we bring our dogs to the photo shoot?’- it’s one of the most common requests. And of course my answer is always YES!! I think it helps couples get comfortable & gain confidence. Plus it offers a different kind of interaction that can bring out more truth...

Katie & Dave {engagement}

It seems like it was just yesterday when I answered a call from a very excited bride by the name of Katie Wholey. I am not sure that brides come more excited than the likes of Katie, mostly because her enthusiasm hasn’t waned since that very first call! Every time I talk with her I realize just...

Benefits of Breastfeeding your Newborn

Thinking about a little mouth latching on to your breast with all its might is enough to strike terror in the heart of any mother, but the rewards of breastfeeding far outweigh the initial pain and hassle. I knew from the moment that I became pregnant that I would breastfeed my daughter, Ella. I...

Lovely Day with a Gorgeous Newborn

I must admit that, at the moment, my favorite thing to photograph is the sweet perfection of a newborn child. And while I always enjoy my job it is especially rewarding to watch families grow. These days it seems I am always getting a call to hear that a previous bride is expecting. I am always...

Remember the Days…

‘You’re 30?’ Jonathon’s eyes grew wide with amazement as he asked me the question. I am fairly certain that ‘thirty’ sounds like old age to a teenager. Jonathon is my step-sister’s first born. He is actually the the first baby that I spent any time with. He...

New Life on a Beautiful Easter Day!

It’s a warm, beautiful day here in Kansas City! With a high of 81 & a gentle Spring breeze, I am feeling positive about the coming months & looking forward to a bright, healthy future with my husband. Part of this inspirational mood has to do with spending the morning with Ashley,...

The Lessons of Life with Lisa & Roger

I am always on time for photo shoots & I arrive super early for most weddings. I never want to feel rushed just before a photo shoot- so I always plan to arrive early so I have time to breathe. Well- last Sunday Lisa called me just after 4. She, Roger & their super hyper dog were already...

Lindsay & Zoran | As the Temperature Drops

Anyone who’s lived in Kansas City for any length of time knows how unpredictable the weather can be!? We’ve all heard the old saying ‘if you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes it’ll change‘ but people say this about anywhere that they live, which takes validity...

After a Visit from Adrienne

Whenever Adrienne calls to tell me she is thinking of coming into town for a visit, I am always delirious with excitement. We grew up closely together, thanks to our wonderful grandparents, and now that she’s moved away, a little piece of me is gone too. When she comes home for a visit, I get...

Familiar Atlanta Families | Watching them Grow :)

I’ve know the Pelletier family for five years now, back in the days when they were a family of two. In fact, Angela & Tom were the first couple I had to get published in a magazine! Not only were they the feature story, but one of their wedding images graced the cover of Southern Bride...

Meeting the ‘Newest’ Rubye Leigh

I just returned to a gorgeous day in Kansas City after spending the last week back in Georgia with my family. ( 60’s today & tomorrow- snow!?) I rarely see my family these days… not only because of a hectic work schedule but also because of the daily complications my husband &...

Wichita for the Day

I consider myself lucky to have such a connection with my clients. It’s this connection that brings me back to photograph the same families year after year. Such is the case with Katie & Yaw, whom recently welcomed their first child into the world. We first met when I photographed their...

The Boy Next Door

We’ve been really lucky with the neighbors that moved in next door. I remember the days when I cursed the pesky ‘yippy’ dogs that always interrupted my work flow. High pitched incessant yipping… arrgghhh… nonstop, several days in a row. It’s enough to drive...

Welcome to the World

One of my favorite assignments these days is photographing newborns. Sure it can be a messy job, but I am rewarded with the perfectly still, serenely beautiful portraits at the end of each session. Little Ellie surely wins the award for cooperation. She slept like a log 90% of the time we were...

Megan & Adrian {engagement}

I an anxious for Spring…I can tell it’s just around the corner as the ground finally begins to thaw. The pace begins to quicken and once again I am shooting with more frequency. I don’t ever slow down… my winter season is full of new bookings, magazine submissions, entering...
