Kim and Alex are the kind of couple that you like from the instant you meet them. They’re thoughtful, kind, and fun. Alex grew up in Kansas City, and Kim just moved here last week to be with him! Since Kansas City is their new home together, we decided a session that incorporated some Kansas...

Rachel and Ryan’s Outdoorsy Engagement Session
They love natural scenery. They love K-State. They love each other. They love Mexican food.
We’re going to get along great.
I met up with Rachel and Ryan to capture some relaxed, fun portraits of them for their engagement session. They told me they wanted them to be natural, earthy, and unposed. I think we...
Kim and Dan’s Engagement Session in Lawrence!
Kim and Dan had all sorts of fun locations in mind for their engagement shoot — things that had personal meaning for them, were a part of their story, and also had great backdrops for photos! We met up in Lawrence, where they live and where Kim went to school. We started at South Park...
Meredith and Mike’s Engagement: KU campus and 1950s-themed fun!
When Meredith first told me that she wanted her engagement session to include a 1950s-themed portion, I knew we’d get along well. Meredith loves cooking, which was evident the second I stepped into their kitchen to see all sorts of cooking gadgets, spices, cookbooks, and fun utensils that I tend to “need” any time I...
Engagement Session on a Kansas Farm: Mattie and Rodney
In the summertime, I love Kansas. There’s something so beautiful about waving wheat and warm sun, and thunderheads moving in from the west. It’s a place where you can see forever, the horizon stretches on and on and white fluffy clouds at sunset make me super happy. Mattie and Rodney’s engagement session was the perfect...
Engagement Session in the Rain: Luke and Erika
Luke and Erika’s engagement session at her parents’ home near De Soto, Kansas, was rainy — but perfect for the setting. I loved how the rain and clouds gave the photos an extra romantic feel. The location was beautiful and the people couldn’t be more cute, sweet, and awesome. Especially when they were in the...
Lawrence Engagement Photos: Jessie and Rick
Imagine this: two 18-year-old girls, working at a daycare center for the summer before heading off to college. It was one of the most interesting jobs ever, and one of the girls (me) had to send all of my unruly children into the other girl’s (Jessie’s) classroom for nap time. It’s a wonder she ever...
Kansas City Engagement Photos at the Nelson-Atkins: Jen and Mike
I don’t even know where to begin talking about Jen and Mike. These two are awesome. Jeff and I have had a lot of fun getting to know them — over bubble tea and Asian dumplings at Blue Koi, root beer and macaroni and cheese at McCoy’s (okay, I’m the only one who ordered macaroni...
Kansas City Engagement Session: Andrea and Jon (and Lucy, the Chinese Crested)
I met Andrea, Jon and their canine daughter Lucy for an engagement session at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. I have never met a Powderpuff Chinese Crested before, and I’m so glad I had the chance to meet little Lucy, who was super cute. Andrea and Jon met in college, through their involvement with the...
Jenna and Calder: Engagement Photos with a Hot Air Balloon!
When Jenna and Calder were first dating, Jenna mentioned to Calder that she thought it would be awesome to take a hot air balloon ride. So, years later, when Calder was planning his proposal to Jenna, he remembered her dream of riding in a hot air balloon and decided to make it happen on their...
