Check out this hotness!

 Kayte got married last May and wanted to trash her dress!  We met up at a secret location (okay, a small unassuming park with a cool hidden away creek), and she totally rocked this shoot!  Kayte braved the water and the heat for some stunning images with her wedding gown!  The results are fabulous, and she looks so hot!    Thank you so much Kayte for everything!

Puppy Love!

Recently my Mom came to visit, and she brought along my adorable little sister Penny Lane (the one with the pink bow).  After some coaxing and a few treats, she finally allowed me to take some pictures.  Ralphie (my adorable little Bagel), on the other hand was a totally camera hog.  He even climbed into Penny’s pink bed just to get more camera time.  Bella also got in on the action and posed for a few pictures as well.  This has inspired a new pet-special to be announced soon!

Ralphie says: “Please don’t kick me out of the pink bed, I reallllly need more pictures for my portfolio mom!”P

Emily Got Trashed!

Okay, I know I can’t keep saying that….it’s starting to lose it’s funny. BUT…..check out these AMAZING images! When I called Emily to set up her shoot, she said her and her husband love classic cars, and she wanted to shoot at a junkyard! We both knew of the most awesome place to go, Lorenz Auto in Corder, MO. We were both so excited and had an amazing time! Laura came along as my assistant and even shot a few images herself! Emily was such a trooper! We shot for over 2 hours and captured some fabulous stuff! Thanks Emily for bringing the Hot-ness!

ONE WEEK ONLY!

Check out this month’s portrait special! Don’t miss out on this awesome deal!!

Jessica Got Trashed!

Tuesday was an amazing day!  I had such a blast shooting with Jessica!  She totally rocked it!  We headed out to Cave Springs in Raytown, which proved to be an amazing location to shoot.  Melissa (see previous post) came along as my assistant for the day, and she was awesome!  We also had the pleasure of working with Nicole Brown, a wonderful makeup artist who gave Jessica the perfect look!  Jessica braved the mud, dirt and even a crawdad to get some amazing images!  Thank you girls for everything, teamwork paid off, and the photos look great!

 

Melissa got Trashed!

Not that kind of trashed silly! Check out the latest Trash session! The beautiful Melissa and I headed down to the fountain in front of Union Station for the first of my test TTD sessions! While we did get kicked out of the fountatin eventually, we managed to capture quite a few beautiful images first! After we got kicked out, we headed over to the Crown Center fountain because we just weren’t finished yet! We were eventually joined by two cute kiddos, one of whom asked me if Melissa was famous. She may not have been yesterday, but we are totally in the KC STAR this morning! Check that out, as well as the results from the session!  Want some sweet portraits like Melissa?  Give me a call or email me for details!  Sessions start at $49!

 

 

 

 

I Heart Kansas City…..

….because today was so much fun! The kiddo and I hit up the Brookside Farmers Market, Kansas City’s all-organic farmer’s market! Totally had a blast. I bought lamb for the first time, and I will be making Gyro burgers tomorrow night, thanks to the folks at Green Dirt Farms (who have the CUTEST logo ever)! Then, because we just needed more fruit, the kid and I drug the hubby to the City Market for some more fun, and I brought my camera this time! Here’s a few snaps from the City Market! We will definitly be back next week!

They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
 

You can’t go wrong with a banana Sno-Cone!

I LOVE Blueberries!

Fun Violin Guy!  He totally played the eensy, weensy spider! 

My favorite colors, Veggie Style!

Beautiful Daisies, I wanted to take them all home…..but it would be wrong, they needed to go to a loving home, where they wouldn’t be dead within a week.

Lime Green, and Tanger…..grapefruit?   That’s not how the song goes! 

It’s Fruitalicious….

Honeycomb…….YUMMY!

Ric and Jeremy

This weekend was amazing! I had the great privilege to photograph a most special event! My brother-in-law committed his life to an amazing person who is a welcome addition to our family. Ric and Jeremy’s commitment ceremony was truly an inspiration, and I feel so honored to have been a part of it. Ric and Jeremy are both actors, and we had so much fun during their engagement session, that I knew the ceremony would be a blast! Their reception was held at Haper’s at 18th and Vine, in the amazing Jazz District! It was a gorgeous restaurant, and the staff was wonderful! Don’t even get me started on the food! It was THE BEST! Everything was organic and chemical free, which, being dubbed a “green-queen” was something I was excited about! I will absolutely be back for more! It was definitely a challenge to be both a guest and the photographer, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Thank you both so much for being such fun subjects and for allowing me to be a part of your special day! I love you both, and I feel so proud to be able to call you family!

Everything was so beautiful! 

 

 

 

Harper’s was amazing! 

 

Brittany!

What can I say about Brittany?  She’s adorable, smart and has great taste in music!  We headed to the KC Plaza for some amazing senior portraits!  I had such a blast getting to know her, and she was wonderful to work with!  Thanks for the fun Miss Brittany, and congratulations on graduation!
