Endure




She said to me... "I know it's a quick engagement, but when you know you found the right person, you just can't wait to marry them."
And, just from the time I spent with them during their engagement session, I realized just how deep their love for each other is. They adore each other and I could tell their relationship is built on more than just love. It is a relationship built around their faith, their respect for each other, and their promise to honor one another. Their love is built to endure..... and I was very happy to spend some time with them and their family..... I can't wait for their wedding. Here's a small sneak peek.... more to come.

Birthday wishes




I love suprises... especially when they are sincerely thought out and come from the heart. So, I get a phone call from one of my dearest friends husband. He wants to suprise her with photos of their 3 adorable children for her birthday. So, he listens closely regarding her work schedule for a time when he can load the 3 kiddos in the car, make the drive to Topeka, get the session done, and hurry back to Kansas City before she can even realize they were gone. All while keeping 3 kiddos hush hush about it until the big reveal.... I gotta hand it to him, he did a great job.

So, Lori, here's to your sincere husband, your 3 beautiful children, and to YOU.... I wish you the best birthday EVER! Enjoy your day and the pictures. Happy Birthday.

The love of a baby




I remember how excited they were when they came to me for their maternity session. Not only did the mother to be just simply glow, but the soon-to-be daddy was all smiles too! And, after sleepless nights, cravings and preparing the nursery, he's finally arrived and made his parents the happiest people on earth! Congratulations to both of you.... he's simply sweet. There's nothing like the love of a newborn baby.

September Senior of the Month... Meet Sammy
















Meet Sammy.... she's a Manhattan High 2011 senior! She was chosen as September's Senior of the Month. We had so much fun at her session. She's full of life, smiles and has so many aspirations for this year and next. Her love of water helps with her dedication to her swim team and also may just have K-State interested in her for their women's rowing team. But, to top it all off, Sammy's interested in going to collage to become a trauma surgeon. The girl's got goals! During her session we found some country settings and then hit the water... or should I say "fell" in the water. Enjoy your sneak peek, Sammy.... much more to come in your gallery soon.

Simply Stunning











In a previous post, I commented on how exciting it is for me to photograph weddings because they are all so different. But what they all have in common is that they are all beautiful and filled with emotions that are always a joy to capture. This wedding was simply stunning and I had been excited for months to be able to photograph it. The bride specifically asked for pictures that were creative and a little bit different and edgy. It gave me an opportunity to really get creative and capture the beauty of the bride and groom in some unique ways. Again, Shannon you were stunning and Nathan you were very handsome indeed.... thanks for the honor and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

Dancin'


A few weeks ago I had the honor of photographing a beautiful wedding that had such a fun-loving personal touch added to it. Not only were the bride and groom excited about their special day, their wedding party was so excited that they didn't just walk down the aisle... they danced down the aisle with laughter and smiles in celebration of the wonderful day. Special heartfelt music played throughout the ceremony and dancing was abundant at the reception as well to make for a wedding to remember. Congratulations again Elyse and Cole.... your photos are almost ready... enjoy!
