I love seeing what people do with their engagement photos. I’ve seen people use them for unique guest book ideas, reception centerpieces, slideshows, invitations, and Facebook profile pictures. At Carolyn and Jeremiah’s recent wedding, I saw an oil painting someone did of one of their engagement photos I took during their session a few months...

Lidia’s Wedding Showcase!
I will be participating in an awesome event on August 14th, and I hope you all can come! The event is Lidia’s Wedding Showcase, held at the Lidia’s Loft. It will be a unique take on a bridal show, with specific vendors chosen, instead of a huge assortment of people. It will be smaller, intimate,...
I’m in California
…and I wanted to share a few photos with you I took on the campus of a high school! No wonder high schools on TV look so much cooler than any high school I’ve ever seen in the midwest — because they have those kind of high schools here on the west coast! I’m here...
Moments like this…
…are why I LOVE my job. When I was editing the images from Sarah and Brett’s wedding, I came across another image that just made me smile. I love everything about this — the expressions on their face, the backlighting from the windows, and their friends in the background. A moment that can last just...
Two reasons why I love Kansas in the summertime
I might not be a “farm girl” but I did grow up in the country… and I love wide open blue skies with fluffy white clouds, and fields of rolling golden wheat. These were both taken back in June, and I never got around to sharing them. So here they are. Another thing I love...

It’s going to be an incredible, busy experience and I’m so excited that I get to photograph this event with students from around the world! It will be quite a change from wedding photography, which should be a...
Colleen and Tobie’s Wedding at The Simpson House in Kansas City
“He’s kissed her at least a thousand times…” A wedding guest near me said those words during Colleen and Tobie’s first dance. And it might have been true. Their first dance was beautiful, set to Peter Gabriel’s The Book of Love. Their dance together was reflective of their relationship — beautiful, romantic, loving. Just like...
Lucy’s One Year Session!
I had so much fun taking Lucy’s one year old photos — we spent time playing with her favorite toys, playing outside with pinwheels, and since it was so hot — playing in the water! She loved sitting in a tub in her yard and playing with the hose. It was quite possibly the cutest...
#53: Grow my own tomatoes
I’m still making progress on my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days — thanks so much to everyone who has given me ideas for how to complete items so far! It’s been a really fun journey, and I can’t believe I started it over two years ago now! It’s now getting down...
Happy Birthday, Jacob!
Just wanted to wish a very happy 17th birthday to my younger brother, Jacob. He’s a pretty awesome kid.
