Sandy shores in Kansas. Who knew? Jenny and Cameron knew… and they picked a river in Derby, Kansas, for their engagement session. She’s originally a California girl, who needed a little sand in her engagement session. This California girl turned into “the girl next door” (or was it across the street?) from Cameron. Cameron’s a...

Country Picnic Engagement Session: Allyson and Matt in Kansas
She was out for lunch with her best friend at a favorite Wichita pizza place, Knolla’s. He was working at the family business when she came in. He took their order (she prefers cheese pizza) and he couldn’t help but take a peek at her name when she paid with her credit card. She says...
Nick and Sarah in Downtown Wichita
I love Nick and Sarah. They’re some of the best people I know. I told Jeff today that they’re “constant encouragers.” They’re friends who are always excited about what is happening in their friends’ lives. Plus, they’re fun. I was so excited when they wanted to take part in the portrait special to benefit HOBY....
Exciting News!

Jeff has launched reclaim|creative, a videography company that focuses on creating wedding films that are real, honest, emotional, and that stir something within us when we watch them. Okay,...

Is there such a thing as too much green?
If so, I’m in trouble. After my recent post about painting my dining room green, I got to thinking — what constitutes too much green in one home? Is there such a thing? Where should I draw the line? “Hey,” I told myself, “I don’t have that much green in my house.” So, I got...
Toby the Schnauzer (disguised as a Scottie).
This little guy is staying with us right now. He thinks my new Pottery Barn rug is a patch of grass. Yeah… Still, how can you not love this face? If you can see his face, anyway, through all of that dark hair! He looks more like a Scottie to me than a Schnauzer. Petey...
Kansas City Engagement Photos in Westport: Yen and Christopher
Yen and Christopher met up with me in the Westport area of Kansas City for a super sweet photo shoot on a chilly afternoon. Luckily, Yen is a trooper and still wore her super cute dress and amazing heels. I love it when girls get girly for their engagement sessions! I also love shooting in...
Hawthorne House Wedding: Brianna and Brady
Their story began as high school sweethearts. This past weekend, they became husband and wife. And I got to capture it. Brianna and Brady’s wedding was a celebration — family and friends came together to support and celebrate this next big step in their relationship, and you could feel the love in the room. The...
Homemade girl scout cookies — Yes, I made my own!
I have a huge sweet tooth. Like 28 of them. So when I missed the opportunity to buy Girl Scout cookies this year (hello, where are all the girl scouts in my neighborhood??), you can imagine that I was pretty sad. I tried to convince myself that it was a blessing in disguise, better for...
