Andrew is a pilot so he flew in for their engagement photos. We had to shoot this day. They are doing their love long distance. The forecast said no showers. I mean, he’s practically a meteorologist. Yet that rain decided it was coming whether we liked it or not. They could have been extremely frustrated […]

Praise the good Lord spring is here and the flowers are starting to pop up. The sunshine is glowing and they had the most perfect spring day for their Beloved (engagement) session. Congratulations to you both. I hope you have as much fun together every day as you did during this session.

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 […]

We are counting down the days until Erica & Case’s Mexico wedding adventure. They are so sweet on each other and will be so fun to spend a whole week with. They have that adorable spark we always hope to see in our couples we photograph. I saw it in the way he looked at […]

One of the best parts of my jobs is meeting new people and learning about them, how they met, what they do. I always have such interesting clients. Lots of engineers, lawyers, architects, I swear most of my clients are nurses or teachers. A lot of people with great hearts and a desire to help […]

What a sweet way to start your wedding weekend celebration. Kali & Adam flew into Kansas City separately due to work schedules, and hadn’t seen each other in a few days, so after reuniting for their engagement session at Loose Park’s Rose Garden, they got to start their wedding weekend just them two, together for […]

These two were nothing less than giggly and fun. I really enjoyed watching them laugh at everything they did together. There is no better medicine in life than burning easy calories laughing and having a good time with the company of the ones you love. Very much looking forward to Laura & Ryan’s wedding day. […]

This couple.. man they have stories. I admire couples who enjoy the roses around them, who travel the world, experience new things,  love like there’s nothing else to do in the world, and laugh like kids together as if no one else is around. Maybe my zest for life always seems corny, but when I […]

Jenny… a previous college volleyball player with me at Graceland University, and Austin, also a mens volleyball player at Graceland (the height) were so ridiculously fun planning their engagement session. We not only tried twice to get this shoot done due to storms, but three times. The second time, we thought it was a go, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
