{Eric and Emily}

February 4, 2010 – 5:28 pm

It was a beautiful, snowy day last Saturday for the wedding of Eric and Emily in McPherson.  I have to admit I was a little nervous about the weather a few days before the wedding but thankfully it stopped snowing on Friday and the roads were clear!!  The snow made for some beautiful romantic portraits in the park.  I was so happy everyone braved the cold!

I think what I will remember most about Eric and Emily’s wedding is how they wanted their love for Christ to shine on their wedding day and they were very thoughtful in all their planning to make sure this was the case.  It was really very touching and really made the wedding extra special.  Here are a couple of shots from the ceremony at the beautiful Countryside Covenant Church in McPherson.

Thank you Eric and Emily for allowing me to share in your special day!

{Beautiful Belly}

January 28, 2010 – 11:23 am

Last weekend I photographed Desi, a beautiful mama to be with her husband Nate.  First time mothers are one of my favorite things to photograph because there is simply nothing like the anticipation of the arrival of your first baby and I am honored to document this very special time!

I wonder if the baby will have these killer blue eyes?

Will you be my fan???   Click here.

{Merry Christmas}

December 25, 2009 – 1:51 am

2009 has been a year full of blessings and change.  In May I finally opened my studio location, in July we welcomed the birth of our son Kale and I quit my day job in order to be a full time mom and photographer.  During this Christmas season as I reflect on what I am thankful for, I think of all my clients.  I appreciate every one of you and am so thankful that you have allowed me to document a small piece of you life and provide you with memories that I hope you love today and treasure tomorrow.  

I will be taking the next few weeks off on vacation and to enjoy some family time.  But before I started my break I wanted to share Kale’s 20 week photo. 

K

I wish you God’s blessing this Christmas season and I look forward to seeing you in 2010! 

Merry Christmas!

{Love the Snow}

December 25, 2009 – 1:41 am

Ummm…I think the title should read “couples in love in the snow” because I definitely do not love the snow.  Maybe it’s because I was born and raised in Arizona or maybe it’s just because it’s cold, and wet.  Anyway, believe it or not I was actually pretty excited about doing two engagement sessions in the snow.  Afterwards when my jeans were wet up to my knees and my feet were frozen the excitement was over but I loved the images and am actually hoping for some more snow next time I have an outdoor session. 

Since it is Christmas Eve and I should probably go to bed so Santa can come pay us a visit I will just share my favorite shot from these two sessions.

This is Emily and Eric.  They are getting married in January in McPherson.  They are just absolutely adorable and so much in love.  I really enjoyed this session and can’t wait for their wedding.

Meet Carl and Mary who are getting married in April in Salina.  Carl and my husband John grew up together and I am so happy that they are going to live near us after they get married.  I know there are many fun times ahead!!

{Derrick and Afton}

December 23, 2009 – 5:33 pm

Derrick and Afton had a beautiful December day for their wedding in Russell. 

B1

Afton was a gorgeous bride and Derrick was a fun groom.

B2

Their ceremony was really beautiful.

B3

The wedding party was a fun group.  I loved this shot of them taken in an alley in Russell.

 B4

Finally, I am not sure what this was all about???  But it was too funny not to include.  Everyone needs a chicken at their wedding right?

It’s been so long I actually forgot my password.  The Christmas season definitely has me busy and in order to catch up I am going to blog a bunch of images at once.

{Mason}

November 25, 2009 – 5:46 pm

This is Mason who is a 2010 Senior from Natoma.  For the longest time I have liked to look at classic senior photos from the 50’s and 60’s….you know the ones where they aren’t looking at the camera.  There is just something that is really classic and beautiful about them.  I had been thinking I should try and do something like that with each of my seniors now.  Well, Mason gave me that opportunity when he brought his dad’s senior photo to the session.  They could be identical twins!  It was really fun to try and duplicate the shot.

Here is another one of my favs from the session!

Oh…my poor neglected blog. :(  This session with Crystal was from awhile ago, but since she (and many others) haven’t gotten any blog love I decided I need to catch up.
