Shannon & Cody have been planning their New Years Eve wedding at Buffalo Ldoge for over 2 years. Little did they guess it would be -4 on the day of their wedding in Kansas City, Missouri. Thank goodness Buffalo Lodge has a large beautiful cabin with big windows to photograph inside, but of course Shannon said, “I […]

I bet life in your house hold around the holidays looks something like: the smell of fresh baked cookies lingering in the air, Christmas lights on 24/7, Christmas music and movies playing all day and evening, lots of cold nights in hanging out in your Christmas PJs. So why not celebrate being you in your most adorable […]

Christmas minis were so so much fun last week with doors and windows open to this strange 60-70 degree weather the midwest has been having. Here is a peak at some of our favorites! Just look at those adorable little cheeks.. Merry Christmas to you all and your growing family. And a big thank you […]

Well we couldn’t have asked for a better fall day. 55 degrees with a glowing sunshine seeping through the late changing yellow and orange leaves. Courtney and Cory needed no coaching. They were so adorable and sweet on each other their whole Beloved (engagement) session, and their little fur babies came along, dressed their best […]

We heard giggling happening from the girls bridal suite from the minute we walked into the Grand Hall in Kansas City. From start to finish Christi, Nick and their family and friends spent the day laughing, tearing up, surprising everyone with sweet moments. I loved spending time with this duo in Chicago photographing their Beloved (engagement) […]

I just can’t pin point what my favorite part of Alex & Blake’s wedding was. Maybe when dad was helping Alex with her dress before portraits, or when Blake was toasting to his father talking about him making him the man that he is and how grateful he is for that leadership, tearing dad up […]

This is what happens when spring and fall show up and make magic together. This session is full of COLOR.. a happy celebration for Bridgette & Marc as they celebrate their engagement season of life. And what a great way to celebrate at the Overland Park Arboretum. I hope you feel all the warmth and sunshine straight from […]

Megan and Darrick I knew were my kind of people the moment I met them. The pretend shy couple, but with lots of zest and random bursts of dance moves in between those kisses and hilarious laughter. The sweetness is infectious. Couples like this are admiral and i’m really always so grateful to cross paths with them. […]

I’m not sure if Katey & James could’ve asked for a more perfect wedding day. With the fall season in full swing, everyone tired and festivals every weekend, this wedding was absolutely a blessing to end our busy September and start another busy October. Weather was perfect, Katey & James are such calm-sweet people, their […]

Jennifer & Homer were so sweet on each other their whole wedding day.
