The elegant Hannah & Sam celebrated their engagement season with winter photos on one of the few warm days Kansas City was blessed with this February. We are so excited to be documenting this duo’s love story from engagement to their big day at the Nelson Atkins Museum. We are counting down the days Hannah & Sam. […]

So one of my favorite things when I shoot with couples, is when one (or even both) of them “giggles” the whole time. It’s either A-out of nervousness.. or B-because they are straight up adorable and are completely enjoying their shoot with me. I think B for sure. Heck, I can tell that when I’m […]

My very last wedding of 2010! And we’re in KC… and it’s winter.. everyone knows what winters are like in the midwest. But their wedding was FABULOUS with the beautiful sun shiny 50 degree weather. We couldn’t have been any luckier. Jen looking fabulous, the boys completely loving on the camera all day, the stain […]

Finally right? It is YOUR turn Mr and Mrs Christina & Brett! You guys looked so fabulous on your wedding day and how special everything was down to the smallest detail. I especially like when my clients invite me along to taste test their reception food {especially when its my favorites MACARONI}, meet their other […]

Super fans they are. That’s right.. we got a special treat.. a two hour tour of the entire Royals Stadium in Kansas City. Only people who go to THAT many games and get a little brick on the Kauffman grounds with their name together on it, can get this special kind of treatment. I’m surprised […]

I bet you’re all wondering what the title means.. well you must see these pics to completely understand how that works. I wish every fall day was like. The weather was perfect, families were at Faulkners ranch riding horses, fishing, getting lost in the corn mazes and picking out the perfect pumpkin to carve. Other […]

So not only did Erin and I play volleyball together at Truman High School… but we represented during our good ole’ days of Northwest University Intramural Volleyball. That’s right.. we brought home the enormous, sparkling gold trophy to brag on our rights of IM Champions. {Not really, we just got black and white long sleeve […]

Shayna forgetting her something blue and and and.. The boys and their adorable groomsmen photos.. The confused flower girl once she ran out of flowers to drop down the isle.. The infamous little red headed boy who danced the night away.. The bride and mother of the bride’s constant need for a tissue..{or was that […]

Man. I just had to steal this inevitable quote for the subject like, from the groom to be himself, Nick. Very fitting. It’s engagement sessions like this, that I adore. Not only because they are that cool but because I get that rare and “make my day” kind of email from.. NOT THE BRIDE to […]

I feel so honored to get to post this, as I played such a big (and shall I mention, rediculously fun) part in this sunrise proposal of Jenny & Austin. So I get a phone message from Austin.. “Hey Jana, it’s your good buddy Austin, call me when you can!” And SOMEHOW, I knew INSTANTLY […]

Well if this couple doesn’t just have fun written ALL over it! You guys were so much fun to work with. All of Kyle’s great face expressions and random blowing in your face or pushing you off the seat photos crack me up. It’s always so refreshing to see people who genuinely enjoy each other’s […]

I am so thrilled to be posting this. You see.. this couple has been dating for 8 (oh I hope I credit their days of dating correctly) years (yes high school sweethearts) and have been waiting for this moment, along with their family and friends, for a super long time. I strongly believe their story […]

{Julie & Garret} = High School sweethearts. Lets see.. We went to the same high school, same church, and have some pretty memorable stories at the Lake of the Ozarks together. Julie & Garret went to the same college, William Jewel, (I let that one slide, being a Gracelander myself), and now it’s their time […]

Soon to be married (3.5 weeks away and counting).. Shayna and her groom Matt helped Matt my videographer and I with the creation of my demo video. {soon to come} Here are some of my favorites from the session. love. such a pretty girl. Not sure if you’re picking up on the amazing theme of […]
