As I edited this week’s photos, I noticed that I spent most of my time shooting flowers and trees. It rained for about 5 days straight this past week, but whenever it wasn’t pouring, it was hard not to notice all the beautiful blooming flowers and budding trees. Spring has definitely arrived! I chose this as my photo of the week because it isn’t the typical tulip or daffodil shot.

Project 52 Week 11: Luck O’ The Irish
A big tradition in Kansas City is our St. Paddy’s Day Parade, and since it fell on a Saturday this year, we were actually able to go. One of the best places to people watch, and practice street photography, is at a parade. You can always get great pictures of the floats, cars, bands, horses, and people marching in the parade – but even better, in my opinion, is the crowd shots.
Graphic Design Project | Phillips Theological Seminary
Over the last couple of months I’ve done a couple of freelance design projects for the Phillips Theological Seminary in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The great part is that I can work on a design project for you no matter where you’re located. With a little bit of background information, a logo, and some branding guidelines, I was able to create an invitation and several ads for my client. Check them out below.
Project 52 Week 10: Bucket List
Someday … I will own a Porsche like this. Ok, maybe not. I don’t think I’ll ever be rich, unless I win the lottery. And I’m not winning the lottery unless I find the winning ticket on the ground. Even if I had the money, I probably wouldn’t spend it on a flashy car. But if someone wanted to give me a sports car, this is definitely the one I’d pick.
Newborn Baby Colton
My good friend Lindsey and her husband Aaron welcomed their first baby boy into the world on Tuesday. I had the pleasure of hanging out with Lindsey and baby Colton at the hospital Wednesday evening. He has the most gorgeous deep blue eyes and blonde hair. Once you meet him you don’t want to take your eyes off him!
Project 52 Week 9: The Biggest Loser
If you’re a fan of the television show The Biggest Loser, than you probably recognize the guy standing with my husband below. That is Patrick House, Season 10 winner of the Biggest Loser. I liked him on the show, and I like him even more in person. Last week he came to a Kansas City YMCA for a ‘meet and greet’ and a short workout. We happened to get there early (and so did he), so we got some one-on-one time with him. How cool is that? We learned all about his new life after winning the show, his family, his nutrition regimen, what the show is really like. (Some things would surprise you!) I asked him to sign a poster I designed with the quote below, and it’s now framed and hanging in my bedroom.
“Energy and persistence conquer all things.” -Benjamin Franklin
