I am loving this warmer weather. Wedding and engagement season is upon us. I’m so happy we got some warmer weather for Cameron and Courtney’s engagement session. Courtney said she was not photogenic and she didn’t think these pictures would turn out well, but hello gorgeous! They turned out amazing! It was great getting to know the both of you and I’m sad I won’t be shooting your wedding but I know it will turn out wonderful! Enjoy :)

Loose Park + Union Station Engagement {Justin + Paige}

November 26, 2024 Leave a Comment

I was so excited when Paige got engaged to Justin. Paige and I were Sigma sisters at Northwest Missouri State. Justin actually proposed to Paige in Loose Park and Buck had a little something to do with that so of course we had to have him in the pictures! I am so glad we got such great fall colors for their session. Love fall session! How cute is their dog Buck with his bowtie? Her and Justin are going to have a fabulous wedding at an amazing new venue called Buffalo Lodge. I am so happy for the both of you. Enjoy! :)

Kansas City Engagement Photographer {Sean+Kristin}

November 25, 2024 Leave a Comment

Sean and Kristin are adorable together. Poor Kristin froze her booty off at The Kauffman Performing Art Center. The blue in her dress really popped and looked great. We went downtown Kansas City after that where Sean and Kristin changed into something a little more cozy. I am so excited to shoot your wedding in December and let’s pray for a little white miracle! Enjoy :)

I am in love with this couple and their families and all the crazy traditions. Masha is from Russia and her family and friends made a 24 hour flight to be with her on her special day. I loved getting to know the girls and even though her dad could not speak English, he was cracking me up all day! Alex realized when Masha went back to Russia that he could not live without her and so she came back and they made it work and I am so happy for both of them because I could see how happy Masha makes Alex that day
