Beth & Evan are expecting their first baby boy next month - he'll be here oh so soon! Without a doubt, these two are going to be rockstar parents!

Watching Codie & Brandon together and documenting their loving looks towards one another was such a treat. It makes my heart so happy to see two people so in love - especially when I know one of them personally! 

These two are so wrapped up together in love and light, capturing them on this sun-filled evening has become one of my favorite engagement sessions to date! 

L&R are both so crazy-happy to be together, and it shows in every look, every touch, and every smile. 

Engagement photos at the lovely Line Creek Trail - which gave us a half-frozen creek, beautiful trails, and amazing light! And to top it all off - Talina and Carlos were a pair of perfect lovebirds!

The first year of this business comes to a close and above all else, I am grateful. As 2014 comes to an end, it seems only fitting to share some personal thoughts about this year! 

Looking back through each of the wonderful sessions and events I had the joy of capturing over this past year was F-U-N! Choosing a few favorites or so from each was a little bit of work! I have many favorites from all of my sessions and events in 2014, and it isn't because they are all an epic shot.....

After what was a very serendipitous meeting, these two lovebirds planned a November wedding at The Elm's Hotel and Spa. Not only did these guys have a perfect venue, they also really got lucky with perfect weather! The end of November, after weeks of chilly temps, out popped a sun-filled 60-degree day just for these two! 

I would always watch Emily as she talked about this husband of hers, and how she would blush, and grin, and just light up. Once I met Logan, and saw how they are together, there was no doubt - these two have that type of love that sappy romantic movies are made about. 

Weston Bend State Park offered amazing fall colors, the weather gave us perfect temps, and this gorgeous couple gave me a wonderful engagement session - talk about just knowing exactly how to nail it, every shot! Sammie and Austin are fantastic!!
 

The kind of love these two share is that perfect combination of sweet, sincere, and genuine fun. It's obvious these two have the most when they are together!

Weston Bend State Park never disappoints for photography! A wonderful and fun couple, lots of laughter, gorgeous fall colors...and a speeding train?! This engagement session goes down in the record books!

We inadvertently picked what was the most chilly morning Downtown Kansas City had seen to date; but it didn't hinder us in the least! These two lovelies completely rocked their engagement session!!

An evening spent at the Community America Ballpark, home of the Kansas City T-Bones! With these two awesome people for an engagement session I won't soon forget!

We spend our evenings on my mama's front porch surrounded by lightning bugs, and the sound of wind chimes, - while we try to convince ourselves - it's not that dark out here.

Dinh & Tran, their June 1st wedding had finally arrived, and what a beautiful day they had!
Warm, sunny, and wonderful! From the moment I met with these two, I knew they were going to be truly special to work with. 

Dinh & Tran... I could say so much. These two are some of the nicest people I've ever met, and working with them was truly a treat! We utilized the gorgeous Briarcliff Park for their engagement photos, and it was the perfect area!

A photography business venture of my own, it's been a long time coming! 
+ Some super cute family photos!
