Year after Year
I think it’s rare to have a job that makes you universally loved by your clients & remembered year after year. And for this I feel incredibly fortunate. I can remember back to my early days in art school… I swore I would never shoot weddings. I mean… I was, after all, ‘an artist‘… weddings were NOT art. At least, they weren’t considered art when I began working towards my BFA at the Savannah College of Art & Design. Obviously [...]
Grace of the Letting Go {Anne & Ryan}
I try to pick up nuances during every wedding. There is almost always an underlying story, after all. And photographers generally try detect these. But sometimes, in the midst of the grandeur and pageantry of a wedding like Anne and Ryan’s, the story is obfuscated. Don’t get me wrong, this wedding had all of the color, pomp, and splendor usually reserved for one of my daughter’s princess stories. The story wasn’t there, however. Not for me, anyway. One of the [...]
A Day in Second
It’s three o’clock and I am about to get caught. I am covertly sitting in the audience of Brooke and Jason’s wedding — an illegal vendor-in-the-pew sitting. Just three rows from the pulpit, ushers lead family members to their seats. The ushers see me but don’t seem too concerned. This is good. Taking a few deep breaths and checking my gear, I start to notice that the audience around me is buzzing with the familiar anticipation of an early Spring wedding. [...]
Of Wedding Days and Bunny Tales
I broke two professional rules last weekend. One I can justify … the other? I’m not sure how to fit it into my professional perspective. As photographers, we follow many rules. Lots of them our customers know about — some of them are secrets. You know, never let a family member over rule our professional judgment. And never, I mean never, let a four year old play with the big, heavy lens … even if it does look like a [...]

Nichole & Al {Terrace on Grand}
I was surprised when I first met with Nichole & Al- based on our initial conversations they weren’t who I was expecting! And as you can see from her bridal portraits, Nichole is absolutely striking! However before we met she (almost) had me convinced that she would have difficulty finding comfort in front of the camera. Al, on the other hand, was instantly comfortable & he brought out the best in Nichole. Additionally, it’s not all too often that you [...]
Baby’s First Year | Ryann Elizabeth
There was something I never anticipated when I first began shooting weddings & falling in love with the couples I worked with. And that was that I would one day fall in love with their children! I wish I could capture every family that begins after a wedding but I feel honored to share in the lives that I do capture. This little bit is Ms. Ryann whom I’ve watched grow over the last year. She’s always been quite serious [...]
Sara + Greg {Wedding Day}
The beginning of June in Kansas City is a beautiful thing. Everything is green & bright new colors are popping up all over the place! Usually the weather isn’t too hot & this past Saturday, we had a nice cool breeze. I was also blessed with another wonderful couple with fabulous friends! Sara & Greg were referred to me by one of our uber-tastic moms from last year, Ann Sharp. (Thank you Ann!) These two are so much fun to [...]
