Jon + Sarah

Jon and Sarah were good friends throughout college. They had classes together and had similar social circles, but it wasn't until grad school that the whole love thing began. In fact, Jon and Sarah had "a reverse DTR" just months before Jon decided he liked Sarah. FYI, DTR = Define the Relationship, usually it's when people go from being friends into a relationship, but in this case the DTR defined the friendship as purely platonic. That is until God decided to open Jon's eyes to how incredible Sarah is.

So, a few months after the reverse DTR, Jon and Sarah were walking to class as they usually did and he picked up a buckeye off the ground. It still had the shell on it, so he threw it on the ground to break the shell and a piece of it whizzed by Sarah's head. It was at this moment that Jon realized he liked Sarah. In fact, he even went and found the buckeye that almost hit her, carved the date in it, and saved it.

Exactly 6 months later the two of them are in Rome together during their student teaching and they had their first date. He gave her the buckeye, she gave him her heart, and the rest is history. :)

(Well, I do have to add in that I got to help with the engagement. I painted a sign that their parents held as part of the proposal at Liberty Memorial.

Sister, Sister

I'm not blessed to have a biological sister. I am blessed to have sister-in-laws, sorority sisters, and ridiculously close cousins. I never really dreamed of having a sister, I really liked being the only girl. It suited me just fine to be spoiled and bossy. :) Sometimes though, I meet a set of sisters that make me think twice about that. Hannah and Rachel are adorable and sweet and everything you'd want your sister to be, and I got the chance to photograph them with their beautiful mom.

This is my favorite shot of the day. I'm starting to really get into shallow depth of field photos.

Kambra's Senior Shoot

One of the things I love about Kansas City is the changing weather. We go from below 0 to above 100 all in the course of the year. Sometimes it surprises us with beautiful warm days in the middle of January or cool breezy days in the middle of summer. Luckily, yesterday was a gorgeous summer day. With a high of 79 degrees, light wind and tons of pretty clouds, it was the ideal day to get out and shoot some photos.

I had a lot of fun scouting out locations for Kambra because she is a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll, so we had to do both! She has gorgeous eyes and was wonderful to work with. All I had to do was mention how cool a window was and she was already climbing up the building to get to it. I am beginning to think that my business tagline should be adventure photo shoots because we always end up doing whatever it takes to get to the better location. :)

P.S. Notice that my photos are bigger on the blog now....I'm finally getting the hang of this whole blogging thing!

Thanks for letting me shoot your senior pics, I can't wait for you to see all of them!!

Jennifer and Shawn

I'm pretty sure God made these two for each other. We waded through water, slid over mud, and subjected bare feet to sharp rocks and they just continued smiling and holding hands. We thought the weather might put a rain delay on the shoot, but in the end we ended up with some cool lighting and lots of water to play in. Here is just a glimpse at the images:

This is my favorite shot of the day.

I am excited to shoot the wedding this September!  Also, I updated my "about me" section a bit, check it out-oh, and I like comments ;)

Natalie & Sydney

I went to a local park to photograph these precious girls. We had a lot of fun playing on the swings and splashing in the creek. I liked the photos so much they inspired me to finally start my photography blog :) The girls were so photogenic it was difficult to choose my favorite pics for this!

A little bit of sister love!

These girls have the eyes of angels!!!
