Rock Chalk Baby

We got to welcome a new baby into the family this week! My cousin Holly, and her husband Adam, were blessed with beautiful baby Samantha on Monday, June 11. You can tell she’s going to be a huge MU fan, right? 😉

We actually remembered to get a photo of both parents with their newborn baby – something we usually forget.

Just let me sleep, please!

Project 52 Week 17: Something Blue

This weekend we had the pleasure of attending the wedding of my elementary school best friend. She was a beautiful bride, and the intimate ceremony and low-key reception fit her personality perfectly. Even better – I adore her new husband – how he looks at her, treats her, and makes her laugh. It was great catching up with old friends, too.

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!

Hello Colton!
I love baby fingers.
He was born March 6, 2012 – 8 lb. 4 oz.
He’s all ready very alert.
As you can see, Colton is a Colts fan!

Day 355: Sneak Peak

Yesterday I had the privilege of shooting portraits for a family who was reunited after seven years. I loved getting to know the three generations of George’s and the rest of the family!

Day 323: Fall Family Portraits

I had a great time shooting family portraits Saturday morning. The family joked around, laughed constantly, and willingly tried some of my goofy portrait ideas. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did!

Day 282: Love Is In The Air

Here are a few sneak peek photos from Saturday’s engagement photo shoot with Jennifer & Brian at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. I’ve known Jennifer since 5th grade, but it was great to finally meet Brian and see how happy they are together. And despite what they may say, they’re so photogenic!

(For those who don’t know, I do portraits in the Kansas City area. First-time customers can get the sitting fee and a high-res CD for $99.)

Day 275: A Double Feature

I had to post two photos for Saturday. Saturday morning I had the privilege of doing family portraits for Bobby, Sarah, and baby Elise. I love this photo because it seems so real and natural. On Saturday evening I attended my former high school marching band’s “Electric Light Show.” My dad is the assistant band director there. I had a great time shooting photos of the band all lit up at night.
