I just thought I’d share a few things around our home that make me smile… old books, old cameras, the color green, good music on vinyl, canvas prints, fun pillows, patterns, and pretty vases.

Sarah and Nic’s Kansas City Engagement Session!
Sarah and Nic like to laugh together. They’re super fun, and we had an awesome time at our shoot… they laughed a lot and joked a lot, and their personalities were really able to come through. There are a lot of great photos of Sarah and Nic both smiling nicely into the camera, but you...
Photography for a Cause: Beginner’s Photography Class
April is the month that hosts National Volunteerism Week. In the spirit of volunteerism and giving back, I’ve been announcing a lot of ways for you to get involved with me to make a difference in a variety of ways. The first was the Photography for a Cause efforts — where a group of photographers...
Kristin and Brad’s wedding at the Kansas City Intercontinental
The day before their spring wedding was blustery, freezing cold, and very rainy. The morning of their wedding, the thermostat in my house said 54 degrees when I woke up (I left the heater off on accident!). I thought of Kristin and Brad that morning as I got ready to head out to their wedding,...

HOBY (or Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership) is an international non-profit organization that is so near and dear to my heart. I went through the program (a summer camp of sorts focused on volunteerism, community service, and a variety...
Jack’s Newborn Session
My friends just had their second baby — this time, a boy! Little Jack is so sweet, was very sleepy, and did a great job putting up with his energetic (and adorable) older sister, Lucy. I spent some time with them one afternoon just before Jack was two weeks old. Here are a few photos...
Maci’s 4-month session
Maci is already four months old. Wow! I’m so excited that I get to capture her first year of life. This second session was so much fun, and she has such an adorable little personality already shining through. Since it was raining outside, we did the entire session in her home again, which was perfect....

Baby Everett is adorable. So is his big brother. And little Everett really wanted to be wide awake for our newborn session, even though his mom says he’s the sleepiest baby in the world. So we did a lot of waiting for him to fall asleep. We tried every trick we could think of… and...
