"Oh shoot, who is this..." were the words Michael first said to himself when he saw Ashlie walk in the room. 

I love this kid SO much, even I know it's a little crazy. But I don't care one bit. He knows he's my baby, and sometimes, I think he forgets he's a cat. 

A full recap of my crazy-influential time spent at the Creative at Heart Conference!

Shelley and Travis met on Match.com many years ago, and when they finally met in person, they totally hit it off - but, the timing just wasn't right. They went on their own ways, and then suddenly and randomly ran into one another a few years later -- and then, then my friends, the timing was oh so right.

Two animal lovers brought together by a mutual friend really, really hit it off.

As a wedding photographer, or photographer of any sort really, getting featured in a publication is such a huge honor, and I'm thrilled out of my mind to share that the wonderful people over at EA Bride chose to feature a very special wedding I was a part of in their Summer edition! 

Megan had dubbed Shawn the "creepy barefoot kid" long before they really knew one another...

Happy Anniversary to Katherine + Joe!!

These two giggled their way through their engagement session doing what they do best, just being together and loving one another.

One of my favorite questions to ask the newly engaged couple is, are you guys planning to do a First Look?? Unsure on what that means, or if you want to do one? Read on friends!

Baby Sam is ONE YEAR old guys, where did the time go!

These two high school, or rather, - middle school sweethearts really, have a gorgeous wedding planned for this September - and after spending an evening with them for their engagement session, I know without a doubt, that wedding day is going to be full of so much JOY, and so much LOVE.

Their first date was April 7, 1979. They were in high school together, and quickly after that first date they became infamous high school sweethearts. 

Days before their wedding day, snow fell all around, piled up and melted little, - giving Katelyn + Andrew a picturesque snow-covered NYE wedding.

Pennway Place at Studio Dan Meiners of Kansas City celebrated a fantastic Open House event on Thursday, February 18th - and it was a total hit!! 

Baby Sam's 9 month session!
