Carrie …
Nearly ten years ago, I had the lucky pleasure of following Carrie and Ryan around Kauffman Stadium after dark. A lifetime Royals fan, this was a highlight to be sure. Approaching ten years now, this day still sticks out as one of my favorites. Oh sure, sitting in the dugout at Kauffman fulfilled a boyhood fantasy. But, c’mon, they had an amazing party bus, a candle-lit ceremony … and a Yorkie attendant. So, yeah, it was one of my [...]
Anyone Can Do It, Part 2
Before the holiday, I started a new series (Anyone Can Do It). In the first post, I talked about the importance of knowing your competition. Often, we believe our competition to be a specific set of pro and semi-pro photographers in our price range and style. But, they’re not. Our competition is all around us, and they’re often armed with more advanced equipment than we have in our own bag! In this post, I’m going to step back and talk about [...]

Cristen & Pat {engaged}
There is no such thing as the ‘perfect’ proposal- nothing can every be exactly like we envision! Honestly I think all proposal’s are wonderful & perfect in their own way. They simply become a part of our history together & the funny moments turn into part of the story. Cristen & Pat proved it to me. Some would say that Pat had the perfect proposal plan- he took Cristen to the top of the Empire State Building & dropped down on one [...]
Jill & Don {engaged}
Another adorable couple getting married this Summer! They also ‘claimed‘ to be uncomfortable in front of the camera. It’s crazy to me that everyone thinks they aren’t good in front of the camera! Trust is everything & I am so lucky my couples simply trust me. It means that by the end of the shoot, Jill & Don were absolute pros! Thanks for a great afternoon guys. The wedding is going to be fabulous! We did have a little run in with the [...]
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 in your relationship together. Another question I am asked a lot is ‘How many locations can we go to?’. While I appreciate the enthusiasm to jump to a [...]
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 how lucky I am to have clients like her, not only for her honest enthusiasm but for her complete trust in me. And [...]
