Dreams are for Rookies {Kansas City Band Photography}

It’s no secret that I love music!  I consider myself quite the music nerd, I listen to just about anything.  Anything that is, that sounds genuine.  That is my one requirement for music, it has to sound like they really mean it.  Not like they needed to start a band, and that’s how they thought it should sound, but they needed to start a band, and that is just how it sounds.  That may only make sense to me, but here I am, sharing it with the internet.  So last week, I headed down to the Riot Room with my friend Deb, of Influential Expressions (she is fabulous btw, does just about anything and everything social media related….but I digress).  Deb coordinates media for the band Dreams are for Rookies, the headlining band that night, and she asked me to take some photos of the guys in action.  The music was a total bonus!  Anytime you can combine cello, harmonica and awesome into music, I’m so there!  They had such great energy, and it was so much fun!  I must admit, I don’t get to hear a lot of local music being as busy as I am, but I think I need to hear more!   So anyway, enough of what I think, on to the pictures!

Brett {Rock Star Two-Year-Old}

Last week I got the chance to photograph Brett and his awesome big sister Ella for Brett’s second birthday.  We had a blast hanging out in the Crossroads and Unity Village.  Both places provided some fabulous backdrops!  Can I just say, I LOVE shooting on location!!!  These two kids were so adorable, and their mom totally rocks! It was such a pleasure to capture this fun time in their lives!  Thanks for being so cool!!!

Dan & Shawna {Engaged!}

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing Dan and Shawna, a fabulous couple who never stopped making me laugh!  Dan proposed to Shawna with a Gummy Lifesaver, which was the cutest thing I have ever heard of!  Check out his story about it here.  (Hope he doesn’t kill me for that.)  They were so much fun to photograph, and their love of comics and craziness was awesome!  Thanks for being you and letting me capture it!

Bella Turns Five! {My Baby’s Rock Star Kids Session}

Well, technically, she turned five in December, but we finally got a chance to do her photoshoot the other day!   We’ve been waiting and waiting for the weather to be nice to us, and it finally happened.  YAY!  While visiting my mom in Springfield, and before another photoshoot, I actually had some time to shoot my own kid!   sIt is so crazy that this is my baby.  She is getting so big, and she is so grown up!  It is becoming obvious she is really learning her way around a photoshoot.  During the whole hour and a half I we were shooting, she was making up her own poses and coming up with her own shots!  She’s becoming quite the little model and stylist, as she has definate ideas about what she was going to wear.  I better shut up now, before I get all teary eyed and cry all over my laptop!

Check out our Kids Rock Star session if you want to remember your child’s fun years in a fabulous way!


{Corey+Karen=Wedded Bliss!}

Last month, I had the pleasure to photograph Karen and Corey and their families, not once, but twice! Karen and Corey were married in Vegas, and had two receptions to celebrate with their families. Karen has to be the most laid back bride I have ever met, and did I mention that killer smile? These two are so much in love, and they are both surrounded by awesome families! I feel so blessed to have met them! Congratulations, and thank you so much for letting me be a part of these events!

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!

New Model Program!

I am introducing a model program that I will run through the month of April.  This is to help me build a new portfolio, as I have spent the last two years working for another photographer and haven’t shot much of my own stuff.  So, if you are needing some family, senior or children’s portraits, or know anyone who needs them but may not be able to afford them, PLEASE send them my way!  I would also love to work with current or aspiring models/actors to help build their books as well.  In addition I will be willing to discount 1-2 wedding packages for some smaller weddings in the KC area.  Just give me a call or send me an email, and I would love to talk to you about these awesome opportunities!

Bella Lu…how I love you! Sneak Peek!

Okay, so I am officially christening my new blog with some brand new pictures of the love of my life….my four-year-old. The weather was finally nice enough to take her new white dress and brown cowGIRL (as opposed to the highly offensive, cowBOY boots), out for a spin! I love taking pictures of that kid! :) Enjoy!
