The L Family ~ Olathe Family Photographer

I love this family! Not only are they adorable, but this is one of my bestest friends. The kind that knows things about you that even your husband doesn't know!!!

Now here she is with her own beautiful family. I love so many of these!

















Of course, their 1st baby!

Finally....Overland Park, Kansas Senior Photographer

Finally, a new post. Its been too long, but I'm excited to be heading into my busy season. This time of year is stressful for most photographers I think, especially portrait but its exciting to see everyone and feel the stress of the fall and then be able to take a huge breath of relief right before the holidays. I always seem to work better under stress anyway...and since its fall I can justify filling in the gaps by making things like chocolate chip pumpkin bread to make me feel better!! :)

How beautiful is this girl? I could have photographed her all day! Her mom has known me since i was born, so it was special to be able to do this for them!! We shot in the evening light which is ALWAYS my favorite!!

This was our FIRST time getting to do an outside session....it was so worth it!






Love this, I could do photos of couples ALL DAY!! These 2 are good at it! :)

TASTE- Overland Park Photographer

In June I had the honor of photographing a really great event. It was called TASTE and was a benefit for The Kansas City Autism Training Center which is a really neat school for Autistic children.

I went and took photos there a couple of months ago and was so impressed with what they do there. The ratio is 1-1 which is incredible and expensive maintain. What they do there is so amazing, I think anyone that has had a special needs child would understand what it takes to have one on one care for their child all day. These parents have to really sacrifice sometimes in order to give this kind of schooling to their children, but it is so worth it.

The fundraiser was a success and a lot of fun. There was a fashion show, amazing food provided by Lon Lanes Inspired Occasions (which was soooo good!), Photo booth and a beautiful Martini Ice Bar created by Cool Carvings. Great music was provided by Kenneth Ham of DJ Kreations. (All links to follow)

The event was orchestrated by Laura Van Zante and Emily McNulty of Moxi Events and they were really amazing and soooo great to work with. I highly recommend them for any event large or small that you want to be extraordinary. They have a contact in KC and St. Louis.

Lon Lanes did such an amazing job. The presentation was beautiful, the servers were incredibly friendly...and those chocolate cookies below. OMG, soooo good!!! I could have eaten 20.

On the Farm..part 1 ~ Topeka Family Photography

I think almost 7 years had been how long it was since I'd seen Jenny. Thats waaaayyy to long. Jenny and I have been friends since 4th grade. She knows lots of things about me, and we have tons of inside jokes...so it was so fun to see her. She now is married to a wonderful man and they have a beautiful new baby girl in addition to her adorable son. She lives in Texas now, and I think we should visit very soon!!!

Alana, is Jenny's best friend (and we all went to high school together!). Her son is so cute...I mean look down at that face?? He is busy, and reminds me of my middle son....it gets easier Alana....a little!

I'm going to post more soon, but they have been waiting so patiently I had to get some up!!!







These totally crack me up!!


I have no clue what happened to the website on this one!
