Just this week, Kansas City lost two veteran fire fighters in a very large fire close to home. They had just saved some people from the building and then it collapsed.

Julep, located in Westport off the plaza of Kansas City… its one of Melanie & Bryan’s go-to spots to spend time together and with friends in their spare time.

Congratulations to the young, fun, and silly together-Megan & Jordan. I loved how much they laughed together and I loved how much I saw in Jordan, his willingness to take care of her.

Carilyn.. She loves Hydrangeas and anything blue. Jerrod.. He did not go to Jared. 🙂 (Inside joke we laughed about during the shoot. We even discussed how the jewelry’s spelled their name wrong. Jerrod is definitely the way to do it, but then I got it wrong during this blog post too. Oh quite the […]

The weather was a lovely spring day, weather that everyone wishes to have on their wedding day. And […]
