Matt+Amy Engagement

Some words to describe these two… hilarious, playful, comical, genuine and totally diggin’ one another!! They were a riotous ball of fun for the couple hours we spent down by the city market. Matt has a million faces and the combination of both their quick wits and intelligent charm will make a lifetime of beauty. Amy is going to be a gorgeous bride, donchathink?!

Matt and Amy, getting married in a few weeks at the amazing Kansas City Public Library. Stay tuned for their wedding photos not too long from now.

Check out some of the photos below…aren’t they hilarious? We’ve got everything from caveman to 007 going on!

Kelly: Senior 2008

High school seniors are way too much fun, and I still have so many still to blog from this year!

Kelly rocks. There is no simpler way to put it. She and her friend, Ellen, hung out with me at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City and we had a great time getting some really cool senior photos. Kelly is a sweet spirit who has the most amazing blue eyes and a smile that warms your heart.

Let me know which photos are your favorites. I am always curious to know. :-)

    Lookin good! My favorite is the vertical shot in the black tank top. Love it.

  2. Nicole Renee

    Something draws my eye to the last one. I think the curves are kinda cool!

  3. Brian Stevens

    I’m really torn between both of the black tank photos. Although they are all good those two are my favorites!

Joel+Jessica Wedding

What a fantastic day! This excitable crew seemed like one big happy family and I felt like I was just another sibling or cousin added to this mix. The day was filled with so many beautiful moments … tears and kissing and laughing and jokes and friendship and love and joy.

Yes, it did end up raining during the only time block we had for group photos, but nonetheless, it was an awesome day! Joel and Jessica were undeterred and full of smiles and kisses…and more smiles!

Jess and Joel, thank you for letting me be a part of your day. I truly am stoked to call you my friends and I can’t wait to hang out again in the future. Many blessings on your first year, you guys!
